RUN 2:30:00 [3]
shoes: Pegasus 27
WHAT A DAY!!
Up at Bright for the 4 peaks, rained all day, so was going to get wet.
I was helping Hanny with her group from Tasmania, and seeing that there were no course marking as the event got cancelled 4 weeks ago, we organised to run as a group, well not exactly, but sort of like a marshaled pack.
Got up the Mount with out to much happening, then on the decent, our careful planning went out the window. Bryan Ackerby was the lead runner, I was the in-between, and Hanny followed up. As we descended, Bryan stopped at the bottom of the main drop, I caught up, we checked the route, then Bryan got going again, and I sent the rest the same way, while I waited for Hanny and the rest of the group.
TROUBLE WAS, Bryan was going the wrong way, once we realised, we set out to run him down, got everybody, caught up to the 1st Group, told them we got it wrong, go back and wait at the intersection. We then set out to get the rest, got them all bar Bryan, had to call it quits, as he runs well.
Went back to the agreed meeting spot, and they group had decided to go on, BUT WERE TO!! Did a short cut to cut them of, met some other runners who told me the way they went, but they were going the wrong way. Tried to run them down, got to another junction, couldn't work out, which way they went, so decided it was enough for me, I had better get back.
Got back, and they were all there. It had worked out in the end, but at time while I was running around the Mt, I was wondering how this was going to end.
Feathertop tomorrow, I think the group has learnt a lesson, and it will all be good, fingers crossed.
