The Equaliser ?
Found this old race report from the 1991 Sydney Striders Equaliser.
"The 14.5km Equaliser course in the Davidson Valley was used for the second time and 60 runners were equalised; ie what went down had to come up. Some might agree with Harvey Blue, who claims it's more of a paralyser.
From the gun it's 1km to the beginning of a 125 metre vertical drop over the next 2.2km, down to the first crossing of Middle Harbour Creek. Via the Lower Cambourne Track and Acron Hill a 100 metre vertical climb over the next 2.2km took you to the drink stop at Acron Oval, St Ives, after which a 1.75km stretch along Acron, Ayres and Roma Roads returned you back into the bush. With a sharp hairpin bend to the left at Selby's S-Bend (christened after Warwick Selby got in the shit last year by running off the course) you're contouring for the next 2.2km past the tree-loppings tip before descending 95 vertical metres over the next 1km down to the second crossing of Middle Harbour Creek.
Finally it's that equalising 125 metres over 2.4km again - climbing this time and the 1km finishing "burst" to the line."
Yep, sounds like fun.

You can skip to the end and leave a response.
Sounds easy Gronk! What are you worried about? I have done two STaRs in that area and it is no picnic.
You're running back into a bit of form again, equaliser should be a good hitout for you before a late six foot entry.
Yeah, funny stuff DJ ! LOL.
Hi gronk - just wanted to drop by and say hi - might see you at the park!
Why?! Good luck anyway!
Sounds like you are making a great comeback! Perhaps it is all those Bondi ponytails to chase?
