Pinnacles trail run

the alarm goes off at 5am.

by 6am we are at the Pinnacles Discovery Centre. it's 12 degrees, fine and sunny with a cool breeze blowing.

at 6:30 the run begins. 5km following the tourist drive amongst the pinnacles themselves.

we've been here before. just once, years ago. that time we drove, this time we jog. along with a hundred or more other people.

it's a one way loop. we loop once and are lapped by several people doing two laps, the 10km run.

for half the loop i keep in sight of deb, then she pulls ahead. and finishes 5 or 10 minutes ahead of me.

there's some of the usual encouragement from other runners. well done mate, good work. near the end one cheerful chap says, nearly there now, you could run to the finish :-) i reply... i'm already going full speed...

on the run... i'm really impressed by the pinnacles. they are lumps of limestone, hundreds of them, standing on the hard sand.

really, it's an amazing sight. i enjoy the run and the scenery.

I'm not quite the last to finish. 46 minutes for 5km. and tomorrow is another run... phew!

now we rest.
