KING OF THE MOUNTAIN - 6.4kms - 46mins 26secs
And my butt isn't even sore today!!!!! Yesterday consisted of travelling of where I was staying to the top of the mountain to pick up my friend...that was prolly a really bad idea, travelling up the mountain before i had to run it, it reminded me too well of what i was in for! I started with a good warm up to find somewhere hidden enough to 'empty my bladder'!! Miles down the road I found someone's cane paddock... hehehehe Anyway we had to run about 2.5-3kms before the ascent even started and from there on it was a walk-run-walk-run. I was playing leap frog with 3 or so men, our walk-run cycles were opposite, it was quite funny overtaking the same person about 8 times only to see them go past you again. It was SOOOO hard, like SOOO Hard. My heart rate was off the richter scale, my beathing was like I was dying, and at times I got hot/cold flushes and felt I was gonna pass out! BUT I DIDN'T!!!! Anyway to cut a long story short, I ended up being 5th female in which I was SOOOO happy about :) I also beat my time last year by just over 4 mins so was stoked!!! Won $25 for fifth place, so I made a profit ;) Oh plus won a T-Shirt from a sponsor in the random drawer prizes...ya know that ones that are way tooooo huge that will end up being a pyjama top... anyway i def came out on top!! It was lotsa fun. I have made a promise to me that I will do some serious hill training before next years... lol thats what i said last year!
I had a great run Saturday AM with my training partners. It was bloody freezing, but of course I don't have anything warmish to wear... who needs warm clothes up here!! I musta looked a sight at still dark in 10degree weather in my singlet. Never takes long to warm up though :)
Just finished a good weight work-out and this week is gonna be a good one in terms of training/food etc. I'm gonna make sure it is!
Gotta run, lots to dooooooooooooooooo
tootalooooooooooooooooooooooo :)
