Everything Update, June & Year
Saturday:
Purpose: long run
Distance: 43.3 km
Time: 5 hrs 37 mins 17 secs
Rate: 7' 47" per km
Weather: cloudy, temp range 7-14 degrees, humidity 100% down to 80%, wind calm
Sunday:
Purpose: race day
Distance: race - 9.3 kms in 55' 01" at ave 5' 52" per km
Warm up & cool down: 8.5 kms in 53' 16" at ave 6' 16" per km
Weather: sunny, nice, temp range 7-12 degrees, humidity 95% down to 60%, wind calm
Week: 138.65 km,
June: 608.6 kms in 27/30 days at ave 22.54 kms per run day ( PB month), altitude gain during month 9105 metres
Year: 2875.15 kms in 6 months at ave 479.2 kms per month
Plenty of figures there to look at for what they are worth. With a specific goal in mind from almost 2 years ago, I hope I have done enough to get from start to finish without falling in a big heap.
The plan has worked in that a big base was established last year to make this possible without getting sick or injured.
The last couple of weeks have been fairly solid without being outstanding, so I need this next week to be the biggest so far. Then I can ease back slowly over the 4 remaining weeks with next to nothing in the last week, which will be travelling anyway.
Saturday morning was a familiar run with Softshoe around the local hills. Then in the afternoon, I walked/jogged over part of today's monthly handicap at a nice leisurely pace. All good.
Today was the monthly handicap around the base of Mt Ainslie. Not wanting to push hard & race, I took the camera & shot photos of the course to be used next year for the benefit of the race day managers.
I didn't finish last, almost with 82nd place out of 85.
A really nice sunny morning, a pleasure to out and about.

Great morning except for the missing Mrs Muscles.
I hear the first two finishers at Western States were shirtless and had beards. You're half way there.

Combined Ewen, we could have won.
Certainly missing Mrs Muscles at the moment.
