Thankfully Sailaway kindly offered me his in return for my stopwatch, thanks Sailaway, awesome gesture. Silly me forgot to locate the satellites before the start so ended up just running with the timer showing and not the distances and averages etc.

Really enjoyed the course and weather was great, although would have preferred a bit of cloud cover to keep the sun out of the eyes.

Knew I wasn't in PB shape so thought I would run it at 3:10 pace and see how I felt and either go sub 3:10 or would be ok with a sub 3:15.

Went the first 15km or so a bit quicker @ about...]]> Mon, 16 Apr 2012 00:24:00 +0000
excellent course with hills, up and down, roads, fire trails, single trail etc, so it was a really good variety

As usual the view from Mt Portal lookout was superb

Finished in 1:30:35 which was a nice hit out after the Sydney Mara last week

Was a bit...]]> Sun, 25 Sep 2011 08:37:00 +0000
Set off with no real goal, but thought I should be able to do 3:30, despite a lack of recent long runs and a bit of excess baggage

Wasnt to be!

After going through halfway in 1:41, faded for a 3:36

Was still pleased given the hot conditions as I see many people were strewn on the roadway or DNF due to the heat, so finishing...]]> Sun, 18 Sep 2011 11:15:00 +0000
Just cruised around in 1:47 and happy to get through it ok. Could feel a slight ache in hamstring but not too bad

I figure if I am going to be any chance of getting through 6ft, I need to start building back up and get a few km's in the legs.

went for a another deep...]]> Sun, 19 Dec 2010 07:27:00 +0000
Have taken it pretty easy on the come back. Nothing fast or longish, but Thursday this week I could feel that ache in the butt where the hamstring connects to the Glute, yet again.

Other than take a a month or two off, I am at a loss as to what...]]> Sat, 20 Nov 2010 08:59:00 +0000
was quite nervous as taking on these sort of hills with the hammy still not 100% was risky

took it very easy and got through with only minimal discomfort

now I have cooled down a bit can still feel a slight twinge where hamstring inserts to glute. I guess tomorrow...]]> Sun, 31 Oct 2010 04:26:00 +0000
I am very mindful that these things can reoccur so am not doing anything long or fast, but gee at least I am running again and each day my Hammy feels better than the last.

Did SMC on Sunday....]]> Thu, 28 Oct 2010 10:23:00 +0000
In the lead up to Gold Coast Mara I had felt some twinges in the top of my left hammie, where it inserts to the glute.

Got through GC and then had a few days off before pushing on two weeks later to a reasonably quick Half Mara

I should have listened to my body and backed off, but as they say hindsight is a...]]> Thu, 26 Aug 2010 07:43:00 +0000
Mike came through halfway in 89 minutes which was bang on target, and he had two guys with him, Mark and Michael

After swapping the pacer flag, I took off with the intention of holding 4:15's till 32km and...]]> Sun, 25 Jul 2010 09:44:00 +0000
