Mutch more than meets the eye

2.30pm, 6 km race, Mutch Park Pagewood

A Randwick-Botany athletics club organised race with attendances by Wine Trail Runner, Chonky, Royworlds, and Lulu spectating.

The course and surface were uneven, grassy, sandy, hilly in part, winding and quite deceptive. This was no stroll in the park but a good hard workout. The pace wasn't flattering but reasonable in the conditions. Have young kids running circles around me just added to the perceived struggle.

Finished in 23 minutes 12 seconds. Plenty more work to do, and won't be taking Mutch park easy again. A long warm up and warm down added another 60 minutes to the total time ran today.

I ran a 6k on that course in August last year and it was tough. Especially since the downhiil of the big hill was dirt still. And then I hate all that windy stuff on the flat bit.
