Event: North Face Endurance Challenge
 

Tough go right out of the gate. Hot and humid day made for a great challenge. Course measured just over 52km.

Managed myself really well in the heat and getting used to pushing myself completely out of the comfort zone but not sure how I feel about 'racing' in the pack, especially against friends - I think I'm too sensitive...

Sweet Lindsay Webster took the female 50k win!

Love the Northface races, always a great push and great swag. Well done to all who persevered in that heat yesterday!

Another day course marking followed by a pretty evening paddle.

Spent the day marking for the NF Endurance Challenge. Beautiful, beautiful (and hilly) course. Trails are in perfect shape. Looking forward to the 50km course and marshalling in the sun on Sunday!

C • Have a great race! 5

Still need help getting the damn thing off the roof. Solution: OH shoulder press.

A bit on the choppy side. As Bob's leaving: "just keep your paddle in the water..."

Quick shake

Loree - 1 eastern milk snake, 1 fall and 0 tears.

Forest was empty probably because it was 30 degrees when I started.

C • no tears 2

Successful night on Bob's surf ski. I only had to do a million Vups and work up to a 7minute plank over the years to have the right strength but I can paddle it. Water was like glass therefore no dumping!

Bob and I decided that likely KP was the last to paddle this boat. Kept the fitting but could have went a tiny bit shorter.

C • 7 min plank! 2

Hot and thick air
