Run 42:00 [3] 7.2 km (5:50 / km) +220m 5:04 / km
Up Mount Brown, the hill to the east side of York, with Jenny. This was really a shake-out-the-cobwebs run with a nice view as the target. Not overly stretched and pleased that there were no back issues on the climb. Slightly awkward with two of us attempting to run across the suspension bridge (next to the if-you-swim-here-you-might-die sign along the river).
Mount Brown has a lot of long grass on it (even more than Peterdine) and I suspect it could be a factor tomorrow, too. It wasn't a factor in 2006 on Hill Park Dale but that's probably because 2006 was a severe drought year whereas 2014 is merely a marginal drought year.
Hoping for something respectable tomorrow, in what will probably be my last elite national long distance championships. The previous three I've done in WA have all been successful (biggest junior win in 1988, best elite placing in 1998 and a turn-back-the-clock 4th in 2006 - among other things, my last win over Jules). I won't get close to that tomorrow but it would be great to get somewhere near the middle of the field, at least.
