Up Rapaki and around the top to drop off some stuff and pick up some stuff at Greig and Clares. Then around the road to drop off some more stuff and pick up some more stuff at Chris and Ems. Arrived conveniently in time for dinner :)
Up bowenvale, a loop round the top and down through vic park. Tried out my crazy new merrel shoes. They seem good but will need to remember to wear higher than ankle socks or the wierd builtin gaiter will rub I think.
Tim's 6hr rogaine with the Sneaky Weasel Gang. Probably not ideal preparation for this rogaine with the control setting the night before and all the other chaos thats been going on recently but anyway I made it to the start ok. We made a stupidly ambitious plan and failed to execute it very well. But we ran quite fast.
So in the end we almost got beaten by Jamie and Penny who were going slower but were far more cunning. Close one. Jamie wouldve been so happy.
Feeling so much better tonight running up the hill :) I managed to get a few laps in to keep the team together since the boys were being mean and not waiting or lapping back at the usual preassigned locations.
Then mainly just cruised along as "tail end charlie" making sure no one got lost in the forest.
Also work out of chaos zone as of this evening so training should get better....hopefully.
Actually closer to 14hrs of tramping. Attempting to get up to Park Pass...failing...retreating over Sugerloaf saddle and up to Routburn flats hut. Plenty of night walking in the snow and ice.
Monday night run up Huntsbury, over Mt Vernon, low traverse back to the brickworks. A good loop. I need to get a temporary bright headlight. Quite hard to see anything...
