since my last blog, we have had quite a few training sessions. 1.we attempted to do the brisbane kokoda event track (mt cootha) which is 30km. we set off from kenmore (not realising we would end up on one of our regular hikes in mt cootha). the map we had from the website appeared to be straight forward but it wasnt. we met a few teams training for brisbane and also the oxfam 100, one team (we found out they had given us the right directions) told us we had missed the turn to do the loop but we ignored them and kept going and met up with some other ladies, we kept on going, going and going, and then after 4hrs decided we should head back and left these lovely ladies to keep going to get to their car (i hope they are still not out there - i think they would have ended up at mt nebo and been miles from their car - maybe they took a taxi back!!!). on the way back i started to struggle, felt i had blisters starting under my toes and my plantar fascitis was bad!!, we made it back to the road about 2km from our car and then i just sat down by the side of the road, wished the guys well and hoped they would come back for me. of course they did but i really thought of giving up and not competing this year :( but determined to do something, so i have enlisted a team of physiotherapists and have 3 sessions a week, will let you know how it goes.
