Welcome to my blog

I am relatively new to Blogging and I hope to learn more as I go. My plan is to document my training both in my professional and personal life and add some milestones or family moments that are important to me.2009 has been an epic year for me and I wish that I had started this earlier but a new year has begun and who knows what it will offer.Stay in touch and we'll find out together.

Today was our last Sunday of training before event day. We started on the Parau Track near Cornwallis, about 12kms. Still muddy and slippery but also filled with laughter. We feel ready for event day, not in an athletes sense, I'd imagine, but with the confidence that we will complete the distance within the required time. I have training with Mike, Marion and Ann tomorrow, out with the Sharons to do 3x volcanoes on Wednesday and Saturday and one more session with Mike which will mark the end of a 3 month training programme.

In less than 2 weeks we should be down in Northburn ready for our race. I can't wait! Some photos to follow:

Walking beside Wainamu Lake at Bethells - almost done

We just clambered down the sand dune to the water

Our aim, to climb the sand dune as fast as we could - Great training!

The girls heading up. The smiles soon disappeared
