Nepean Lookout- 30K.
TUESDAY 9/1/07, 4.30AM, 30.5K (2.50, 5.35min/k), 5.5 HOURS SLEEP, SHOES ASICS 1100
Had 30K to Nepean Lookout pencilled in with Shogun. To fit his work and family committments, this meant a start time of... 4.30am.
As a result, we headed up the Oaks Firetrail in the pre dawn darkness, managing to avoid potholes. I wore my Nathan HPL 020 hydration pack for this jaunt.
Got to the turnaround just after it got properly light and could appreciate the view, then on the way back picked up the pace, dropping in a couple of sub 5min/Ks, but the climb out of the Gorge to the gates slowed proceedings down quite a bit.
Got home and had a big breakfast and a doze. Not an exciting run, but good to log a 30Ker.

I did this run about 2 or 3 weeks ago and when I got to the lookout it was in total fog and I couldn't see a thing. Came back by Red Hands Cave trail, but wouldn't really recommend it. It's Tiger country!
