SSS 12 at Chainmans Beach
A good course featuring some nice distance/elevation tradeoffs though the middle (e.g. 19-13 flatter vs 5-13 shorter but extra stair climb). Decided on the shorter option. Felt like a tough intervals session with efforts on the climbs and recoveries on the descents. Great views at 30, 23, 1, 22 and 12. Only error was ~10s hesitation before finding the stairs to 12.
My route: 14-15-6-16-27-18-29-10-20-9-28-30-19-8-17-26-7-5-13-3-11-23-1-22-2-21-12-24-4-25
Planned 21 as a maybe, but had plenty of time for the lot - 40.42.
Ondrej 41.58, Glenn 42.30, Andy 43.
Glenn reversed my route but went the dicey 20m cliff climb from 21 to 1 which saved him the 800m flog down and up Parriwi (7.8km).
Ondrej & Andy went the flatter route (19-13) which was about 300m longer (8.9km).
