Trail Running

Not sure what got into me, it's either peer pressure or just wanting another challenge... so I got myself into running in the tropical rain forrest.

Bought a new pair of shoes specifically for trail running, and did my maiden trail run on Saturday at Macritchie. It was actually quite enjoyable, definitely a huge change from what I am used to. Completed a easy 11 km around the Macritchie reservoir and it felt good.

Well, I have to get some serious mileage into trail running as I've signed up for the 50km North Face challenge...

Like I said, not sure what got into me....

My new toy...



Added another one to the collection!


Tough race

Managed to complete the 2014 edition of the Sundown Marathon in under 6 hours... a disappointment personally as I was targeting a 5 hour finish due to my previous results. The humidity just got to me, and after the 25km mark, the mind is wiling, but the body simply refuses to move. Hope to achieve a better timing at the next marathon.
