10 minute recovery at Belgrave Station 30 December

post image

I took a well-earned break at Belgrave, while Leanne was kind enough to pretend she needed the rest too ! Fresh drinks from Support Crew Sophie, and the $20 bet from Kate motivated us to finish the stage ...we got to Grant's Picnic Ground at 12.31pm.

The Belgrave climb 30 December

This hill nearly killed me. You know the one - it has hundreds of steps at the top to reward your climb, on the way to Belgrave Swimming Pool. I have never felt so unfit as i did on Dec 27th, at the top of this hill. The one thing that kept me going was a bet from Kate that we wouldn't get to Grant's in the 3 hours we had planned for this stage...

We powered through the first 100 minutes of walking and reached Checkpoint 2 faster than ever before. A great effort as I know Christmas dinner was still weighing very heavily on us !

The joy of a 7am start 30 December

The joy of a 7am start at Lysterfield Lake is that all the kangaroos are still out and about - we must have seen 2 dozen during the first hour of our wealk to Grant's Picnic Ground, which made the effort of getting up so early almost worthwhile

Neither gale conditions nor what the Weather Channel called "A Rain Event" could stop this team from enjoying their first Trailwalk practice - good work Kevin, Leanne and Ash...

Eastern Freeway 15 December

Thankfully the rain eased up long enough for some footpaths, like this one under the Eastern, to remain free of flooding. We needed about 2.5k of detours to navigate around the floods

Gritty determination marks start to 2009 training 15 December

post image

We got VERY creative during our first training walk for the 2009 event - with 5.5cms of rain falling this weekend, parts of the trail were washed away, and others - like this footpath - were under 6 feet of water !!

fog on the water is what training walks are all about !
