Big long tiring weekend but feeling great after achieving my objective in the 50km track.
Friday was spent driving to Brisbane.The 12 hour began at 9:00 and began in good cool conditions.The last 1.5 hrs it was getting a bit hot and windy but I was maintaining the pace OK,more of a problem was tightening of the right quad which was pretty much shot at the end of the 50km.I was hoping to keep going to the 6 hour and 50 mile marks but it wasn't going to be and with the relatively late start probably was never on.I spent over an hour getting the legs worked on but anything else would be a bonus.
It was great to be back in a race where you can meet so many like minded and interesting people and with plenty of encouragement from the Sri Chinmoy organisers began to enjoy trying to circulate the track as best I could whilst meeting and getting to know some of the other runners and re aquainting with old friends.
I was pleased to complete the 12 hours still moving and was pleased my toes went so well.
I was awe inspired by others running and walking the events.
Sunday was spent,(after the presentations),driving back the long long way home.
Monday - after returning to work - thought I'd have another rest day from running.
