From home to the Mickle Gates by an indirect enough route to count as a warm up.

One lap of the CHCH Marathon course, with the deal to myself that if I could knock it out in less than an hour then I ought to do the Half in April. Have been meaning to do this for a while and decided Christmas morning would be the best chance for it to not be a stop-start affair (good assumption, I think I can only remember two stops for traffic). Unfortunately the route map at the far end doesn't bear much relation to reality so I added easily a couple of hundred metres which I think makes my deal null and void. Struggling by the end anyway - had to take a few walking breaks in the final Hagley circuit which should really have been the nicest bit.

From the Mickle Gates to home by a more direct route but a much slower pace
