Sunday 19 March
Long distance group from Parliament House. Dave reports: "A tough long run with Speedy Geese this morning - 21k warmup around LBG west and central basin from Parliament House starting at 5.35am, plus 17k with the Speedy Geese crew around Red Hill and 7k around LBG central basin (after losing sight of the others) to make 45k all up. Second last long run before the Canberra Ultra (50k). Felt like crap at the end after a big week (140k). Too tired to take any more pics. Susan and Jen did 16k, Bronwyn 18k, Giles 20k, Warrick 22k, Narelle 24k, Sandeep 25k and Jacob did 26k. Sandeep was bouncing around at the end like he could do another 10k. We regrouped for coffee in Acton, where Ruth joined us after her 34k solo and Richard met us with Mr D. Thanks for shouting the coffee and fruit toast Richard ;-) Perfect weather again.

Monday 20 March Parliament House in light rain we ran 25 minutes of relays on the longer loop from the Rose Gardens. Participating were Cookie, Andy, Colin, Dave, David, Emma, Ewen, Garry, Isaac, Jen, Jennie, Pieta, Ruth, Tom, Warrick; and I supervised.
After training, 15 of us enjoyed a dinner and drinks at the Yacht Club.
