27kms and feeling good
On Saturday 13 Feb the team tackled CP3 to CP5, through Olinda to the start of the Warburton trail in Mt Evelyn. Despite three wrong turns adding a extra 2kms to the journey, we surprised ourselves by how good we were feeling afterward. A couple more long sessions before tapering down and we'll be ready for the main event - six weeks to go!

It's time to sweat, people!
After attending the info night back in November we were pumped to get out on the trail so we hit CP2 to CP3 as a warmup to Hacketts Rd (a nearly vertical incline that seems to go on forever). Despite having walked the section several times during training and last year's event, Bridge invariably allowed the team to get lost, tacking on an extra 3kms to the 13km stage. Suffice it to say we were a little tender in the days following that first walk! Lesson one: don't follow other walkers assuming they knew where they were going - they were thinking the same thing about you! Fast forward to February and the pressure is on to get our Trailwalker legs. With the silly season well and truly over and Prue wedded and honeymoon-ed, there are no more excuses! The occasional two-hour walk here and there ain't going to cut it anymore. Now We Mean Business. Kelsch is bootcamping three times a week, Prue is getting up at the ungodly hour of 5.30 every morning to walk for an hour, Kate is pounding the pavement like a demon, and in a moment of weakness Bridge signed up to do the 14.8km Run for the Kids (and she can't even run 1km so 14 should be interesting). We've got to build up to the big walks fast, so on Saturday we're tackling CP3 to CP5; 25kms of arguably the most challenging terrain of the whole trail (One word: Hacketts). Now you may have noticed that something else we're a little behind on is the fundraising - show your support for our Newfound Enthusiasm (and help take the pain away from the blisters you know we'll have come Saturday afternoon) by being the first to donate!
