Training when you travel isn't always easy to do but on the same trip with Baw Baw we had a couple of days in the country.
Training was really different, with new routes and new things to see...
I hardly know you, and this is Crazy. But here's my number. Call me maybe?
A few blog posts ago I alluded to seeking some help with preparing for my next major goal for 2014, the 100k Glasshouse Mountains trail run.
When I was down in Melbourne conquering Mt Baw Baw I took the opportunity to pick the brains of Tristan "T-Bone" Miller, the man behind Run Like Crazy. This guy ran 52 marathons in 52 weeks, all around the world, including a couple of ultramarathons and some offroad events.
He's a cut (or two, actually probably three) above me in terms of speed but with the advent of his new Run Club, I figured he might be in the business of handing out some advice.

Lost in the rain: Mt Baw Baw Adventure
So. A couple of weeks ago I conquered Mt Baw Baw.
After failing my first attempt, it was kind of a big deal to get it ticked off the list. For no other reason than I like to finish what I start.
This is how that day unfolded, in words, images, and a fabulous soundtrack (even if I say so myself).

A gawk at the Glasshouse
This is why I like cycling on the Sunshine Coast. The hinterland is full of views like this.
Ride one, run two
Last week was my first week of fairly consistent training in a while.
This week I almost lapsed back by bailing on my Mt Coot-tha bike session yesterday. (It was raining. Descending in the rain isn't particularly safe.)
I saved it today by following through on one of my dumbest ideas yet.

White caps all round.
I haven't posted much this month, so I thought some kind of update was in order.
Training has been a bit inconsistent. I've only done two long rides this month (both 90ks or so), and I've only managed one swim per week, instead of my promised two.
But my running is on schedule.

Goals for the year of the horse
So I never got around to writing this post at the start of the year so I might as well do it now at the start of Chinese/Lunar New Year.
I set my goals for 2013 before 2012 even finished so I'm even late by my own standards.
I am looking forward to 2014 because I've set myself a new goal that I'm a little bit frightened of.
