Week 45 - Two Weeks Below Average

Running: Year to Date

Distance:   3,527.1 kms in 45 weeks at ave 78.4 km ( down from 79.4 km in week 43)

Last 2 weeks:  111.65 kms

Altitude:  87,692 metres in 45 weeks at ave  1,949 metres ( down from 1,986 metres in week 45)

Last 2 weeks  2,296 metres

Not the best two weeks but there was a good hilly run 10 days ago. A mountain top called Collins Bonnet with a summit at 1,260 metres ASL is only 10 metres below the height of Mt Wellington.
Mostly on rough fire trails with the last 1 km a climbing over large rocks following posts as there is no track.
This area would be wonderful when covered in snow in winter. It was nice on this day.
The rest of the past 2 weeks was a bit hit & miss running when the chance was there. We had 6 days in the north of the state attending a family funeral.
Not many hilly area to run, let alone find something more serious in altitude resulting in the poor figures above.
I have Point to Pinnacle on this Sunday starting at Wrest Point Casino in Hobart and finishing on top of Mt Wellington. Basically a half marathon ( on road, not my favourite) in distance with the finish line at 1,270 metres ASL. Very little down hill, the first half is a gentle climb, the last half gets tougher. Hopefully I can run it all.
Just looking for a good result in my age group among the other 3000 entrants.
