hell and back

Last weekend we did hell fire pass from syd duncan park and back, this section is hard in the event as you have gone 24hrs without sleep and are at the 70km mark and it is about 1.5hrs of straight down which just kills the knees and hips. it was very hot but we did the track in fantastic time, even with a rest at the bottom, we took 4hrs and were back by 10.30am. the return trip back up took some effort but we were cutting an amazing pace on the flat section back (i had disco playing in my ipod and i took off at great speed). was home by 12md and in bed by 1pm for a nanna nap (it sapped my strenght abit). it was a great day and really enjoyed it.
