Away on holiday for just over 3 weeks. Except for a few days in Canberra where there are some nice hills, most running was easy flat trails on soft sandy surface.
I really eased back as most of the year has been fairly continuous with a few big events/races.
Now have one more big event in 2 week's time. It's called the Triple Top. A mountain run over three mountain in northern Tassie with plenty of up hill but also one big descent at the finish.
Apparently, it's very steep, rocky & may be scary. Especially dangerous if wet as it was a couple of years ago. Although the distance is only 19 kms, my guess at my time will be 3 and half hours given comparing with others last year.
Get this event out of the way, then rebuild that vert total to ave 3000 metres per week & get over 4000 kms for the year.
