This was another
upside-down run to counter Sex Printer's Full Moon horror run last Tuesday
night. The long run was a ‘moderate’ length of 9.6km, including the 10 x 360s, 4
x false trails and 2 check-backs; the beerstop coming in at 7.7km from the
start. The total ascent was a not so modest 435m starting at the maximum height
of 234m. dropping to a minimum height of 63m before working it’s way back to
the beerstop at the top of the ridge before going over and down the other
side to the runsite.
The short run also started
at the same height and dropped down to 71m before going back up the ridge to
the beerstop at the top; and then proceeding down the other side to the
runsite. The total length for the short run was 4.7km and a climb of 166m; and
included 3 x 360s.
The first checkback was cleverly avoided by all
when Sex printer, not being a front runner on this occasion, looked for, and found,
paper well short of the 360. However the front runners, Sex Printer included at
this stage, were well flummoxed by the checkback at X02, and after further confusion at C07 at the bottom of the hill enabling most of the back-runners to arrive at the beerstop ahead of the usual front-runners.
Upside-down run, I like that. Though this reminded me more of a Yardbirds song:
ReplyDeleteOver under sideways down,
(Hey)
Backwards forwards square and round.
(Hey)
Over under sideways down,

Backwards forwards square and round.
When will it end, when will it end,
When will it end, when will it end.
Very poetic Beaver, I seem to remember hearing a bit of that from some of the back runners, at the second, or was that the third hill.
