This river is wild (2 July)
took an evening long run around the Yarra river with a small group.
frankly speaking, I was surprised by the pace of the run leader as she tried to keep average 5:00/km to run nearly 12km distance.
which was quite challenging since I have just completed a tough interval run yesterday.
we started from the Tan, turn left after reaching Anderson St to Yarra River, and run along the river to Macrobertson Bridge, then turn back to the starting point.
the route got dimmer when it evaded from the city light.
also, there were some bikes passing by so we should be rather careful.
it is my first time running in such dark area. I was scared if I lost the group.
I won't have any idea to come back if I run myself, so I ran with the steady speed which is pretty close to my racing pace.
The river was at the high tide and I haven't seen it got wild like this. I had to run cautiously for fear that I would fall into it. Most seriously, when we
turned back and attempted to get back to the Tan, we found it flooded the river track near the Swan Bridge, so we needed to turn back and found another way back home.
an hour for 11.8km was a nice pace but I am pretty tired right now.
I might take a rest or just take an easy run tomorrow.
