Back into a routine following our 2 month holiday. I had last Sunday as an unpacking, getting organised day off. Also a couple of quiet days on Thursday & Friday with a couple of short walks late afternoon. Must have been busy in the mornings.
Result for this week is that 4 days made up the bulk of the stats. A good hit out on Tuesday on the Dooley Fire Trail up on to Goat Hill, 15 kms with 895 metres of vert.
Today a return to Mt Wellington trails with 23 kms & 1,320 metres of vert chasing the last of the winter snow & sussing out a potential course for the Australian Mountain Running Champs for early next year.
