This was a big week.
Started with the usual training week but would end with 3 days at Stirling National Park and lots of climbing.
Ran to Kokoda and then did 55 minutes on the trail with 10 repeats and then ran back to the office for 7.55km and about 500m of climbing
Tuesdya same 1 hour on Zwift.
Wedensday an easy run at lunch time for 65 minutes and 10km. Start of the Delirious 200mile race from Northcliffe to Albany .A hot day in Perth and Northcliffe.
Thursday was supposed to be a strength session but I just rested. Friday I drove down to Stirling Park Retreat and after meeting everyone training that weekend we headed to Mount Trio where we did a hike to the top about 400m and 3 kms . Hard but enjoyable start to the weekend.There was no reception for my phone and no internet so a really quiet peaceful weekend with friends and training.
Saturday 23 February 2019 , Started at 7,20 and climbed with the group to the Top of Bluff Knoll about 600m .It was a gard climb and took me 54 minutes .The rest did one and a bit climbs before moving on to other climbs >I stayed and did 3 full climbs and then in the last did 2 smaller climbs toget to 2400m of elevation and 25kms in 7.5 hrs.
A long hot day. I ran out of fluids so found it hard going for the last climb .
But was a really productive day with a lot of elevation. The legs were sore and I had a few twinges of cramps but took enough salt to stop it .Back at the retreat regrouped with everyone and had a soak in the salt pool and got some really painful cramps in the inside of the lfet thigh.
Too exhausted to do anything else .Had dinner at the Retreat and then bed.
The next day a final climb on Mt Hassel which was 400 m and about 4km .Took us 1.5 hours scrambling up to the top .Great views and then back hom after a great weekend.
