I volunteered to lead the MTG group. Starting at Morrison park we looped around Lane Cove, up to MacQuarie centre and back along the harbour. 29k all up.
Six runners made up the group and we set off in the dark at 6min/kms.
The group soon started struggling to keep 6mins and by the time we got to 20k they were walking the gentle hills and one poor fellow was done in.
I sent the faster five on ahead at Eastwood station and I accompanied the slowest runner on the short cut down Blaxand and Victoria roads.
He was really spent but kept plugging away at a super slow jog. Always cheerful but suffering he kept going. At one stage I went into a 7/11 and got a Frosty Fruit and a long black and walked. I was still going faster than him.
We finally arrived back at Morrison Park after 4 hour and 22 mins. I was tired. But still it was a good recovery from Six Goot and the MTG runners were very nice people.
The other five who went the full course still hadn't turned up.
