Lakes Stakes

As a recovery run from the Orroral Valley 20km run on Sunday, we (Friar and Rad) decided to travel to Lake Tuggeranong on Tuesday for the Lakes Stakes which starts near the HIC Building. This event is held weekly with the start time being 12:20 pm, and is conducted on a handicap basis. A fee of $1 goes towards a weekly prize - a Voucher fron The Runners Shop.

We, Friar and Rad, were expecting to run entirely around the lake, but were advised that the course is now, out and back, and has been marked at the kms with red paint, and the turn around point is just before the "third bridge."

It was blowing very strongly, so was somewhat like a headwind on the way out, at someplaces feeling like a cross-wind.

As with being close to workplaces, lots of walkers were taking their lunchtime stroll/exercise also on the bike/shared paths around the lake.

A few were taking their pets, but the path was generally clear.

Our km rate was less than 6 minutes per km, which showed that there were no ill effects from Orroral.

Until Next Time.
