Another failed attempt of the SLWC. This time it was just too long.
Started through Luna Park and Cremorne Point maps. Felt ok for the first 75 minutes but then started to tire through Balls Head and Berrys Creek maps. The next bit was through Pottery Green, Butcher's Block and Tambourine Bay where I refuelled. Struggled through Blackman Park to the compulsory Macca's stop in 3hrs17min at 120 controls. I then opened the map out to see how long was left and felt really demotivated. My legs were feeling so tired and I didn't feel like doing another 80 controls. I then ran through West Chatswood and Artarmon Creek maps and pulled the pin at control 141. Ran back to Crows Nest from there.
