What a way to start the week; Monday brought 3 hours in the bush near West Pymble in another Wild Women session including a creek crossing & bush stair repeats. Pack weighed about 12-14kgs. Approx. 8km
The rest of the week was rather lazy until Saturday when I got on the windtrainer for 60mins whilst listening to podcasts; 45mins easy, 10mins moderate & then 5mins cool down. 22.3km in total. Nice easy session to turn the legs over; they haven't done much of that lately :0
Sunday was a l-o-n-g day. Mini Mango's 16th birthday dinner was on Saturday night which left me with only about 5 hours sleep before I had to be up as Team Mango had a big challenge ahead - walking 35km along the Great North Walk!
I met Lulu & Sammy at Ku-ring-gai train station just before 7am to get the buses (as there was trackwork this weekend) down to Brooklyn where we were lucky enough to find not only a cafe that was open but a wonderful, friendly barista who made *great* coffee.
From then on our day largely consisted of up, drink, down, up eat, laugh, down, stumble, joke about goats, up, down, become navigationally challenged, up, down, laugh, trip & laugh. The photos probably describe the day better than I can -
We *finally* made it back to our cars just before 6pm (10 hours after we left Brooklyn) and finally home by 7.30pm thanks to the feral traffic. 32.6km approx. Fun yet uber long day. Taper time!
Totals for August:
Bike: 45kms
Hike: 99.7km
MTD:
Bike: 22.3kms
Hike: 32.6km
