Clem7 Tunnel

Thurs 5.00am 11KM Roo+Lake

I have entered a Race!!

A 10K at the end of the month!

It is to celebrate the completion of the Clem7 Tunnel under the city.

It is 4.8KM long and I suspect we will run down one bore and back along the other.

This is a once in a lifetime race and I don't want to miss it!

Of course I'm way out of shape and very short on fitness and was not anticipating racing even if things went really well, until May. This one will be for the experience.

Imagine running in a tunnel for 10K - has anyone done it before? I have already been through the tunnel a couple of months ago as part of a work 'outing' ! The tunnel heads down about 60m under the Brisbane River and then head back up so each lap will comprise a downhill half? and an uphill half? The must be some system for heat/air exchange , it will probably be much cooler than running on the surface. Anyhow the aim will be enjoy and hopefully not embarrass myself!
