Running race 2:39:59 [3] 20.5 km (7:48 / km)
Paluma Dam Trail Run. At Paluma, north of Townsville and the southern end of the Wet Tropics. Drove down Saturday night and camped at the dam. A fair bit cooler up there than Cairns, so got to actually use some winter clothes this winter. Anyway the run was from Paluma to the dam along some old hiking trails through the rainforest that haven't been used for a while. So very overgrown and tricky and generally slow going. The race was advertised as 25km but was a fair bit short, although no-one was complaining. Sam did a great job to get over 100 people in the 12km option, and 50 or so in the longer race.
