Epic 50km weekend! Blackall 100 Recce and Point Glorious
Week 26 of the Journey to 100km! What an epic weekend. 50km covered in 36 hours over 3 separate runs!
We start off with a 23km recce run and Q&A on the Blackall 100 course with the legends from Run Queensland. Then we have a 6km afternoon run in the pouring rain, and back it up again on Sunday on a discovery mission in the hills behind Yandina and make our way from the Cooloolabin Trailhead up to Point Glorious and back, for another 21 km. Training days are getting bigger, we're getting stronger and we're still having fun!
A few key learnings and techniques practiced in this one -
Always charge your head torch!
Practice more night/wet single trails (our Saturday warmup was in these conditions and we didn't feel very confident!)
Practiced power hiking
Touched on the edge of the 'this is really starting to hurt' zone!
