Still a little tired from last weekend up and down Mt Tennent, although the tiredness did not kick in until after 30 km today. Those training for SFT are running in many different places on the weekends with no regularity among local starters. Some first timers are hardly doing any training at all for one of the hardest events on the mountain running calendar. Good luck !
Today with nothing really planned, I headed over to Wanniassa Hills, Farrer ridge, around the back of MacArthur and down Isabella Dr past Fadden Pines back home. Stopped for a drink then off again over to Tuggie Hill, crossed the ridge from Conder to Theodore, behind the houses to the sub station and back home past the Calwell oval and shops.
Caught up with Mike W on Farrer ridge, bit of a chat, he is not going to SFT but is still out doing a hilly 20km plus run to get back into condition. He says he may go back to some rogaining events now they have created a new super vets type category, he thinks he may be competitive over the longer 24 hour events. Sounds too hard for me.
