I do!!!
Having come off a 3 year period of numerous running races and triathlons, I’m feeling a little flat to say the least. I think I have figured it out… I’m not tired. I’m not lazy. I’m not even hormonal. I just don’t have a specific Goal. And not just a goal that will challenge me. No a goal that will scare me into consistent, frequent and intense training.
I received an e-mail from a friend earlier today, letting me know that the date (01 October 2011 – Grand Final Day) for his annual endurance run…
The Two Bays Track (click here for more details)
As per website…
“Situated on the Mornington Peninsula. The Two Bays Trail goes from Dromana, on Port Phillip Bay, to Bushrangers Bay and on to Cape Schanck it is the longest continuous track on the Mornington Peninsula. First proposed by Stefanie Rennick in 1984 as part of the Victorian 150th anniversary celebrations, the 28km Trail traverses a diverse range of landscapes for which the Mornington Peninsula is famous. This Trail is the result of many years of planning and hard work by friends and volunteer groups. The steep rise from sea level up to Arthurs Seat (elevation 1,000ft) provides 310 degrees of breathtaking views across the bay to Melbourne. The trail is well marked by a blue wren bird symbol on all signs. The middle of the track passes through mostly undulating Track through national park and forest. The section on the Bass Strait side reveals Bushrangers Bay, which is arguably more beautiful than the 12 apostles area of the Great Ocean Road.”
“I’m in for the out-and-back loop” – was my reply to Dave’s email. That’s 56km!!! And I’m riding there too!!! (approx. 60km). I think I may throw my bike in the car and get a lift back home if that’s ok?
Looking forward to it.
Anyone is welcome to join us for this “unofficial event.” Vicky will be doing it too (one way = 28km). The more that join in, the better!
So put pen to paper, jot this goal down and join us for a day of tough exercise, breath-taking views and great company.
Hi Jo
Count me in for the 56km
Adam… I have a ‘man-crush’ on you.
You are only human
Hey Joe… I was only kidding!! It IS a good goal for you though. You’ll have to practise the LSD runs and work at pacing yourself early in the run.
I’m happy to attempt to keep up with you for the back half.
Thanks Dave.
Looking forward to the challenge.
