28k long (hilly) run - 14 March 2010


16k mark of Grampians run


22k mark of Grampians run


23k mark of Grampians Run

Woke at 7am (after not going to be til after midnight)and had a small bowl of porridge, just plain - not milk etc - with a bit of raw sugar on top, then about a third bottle of gatorade and plenty of water. Left the house at 7.45am.
Started off with the ipod on my arm but after 4-5k got sick of it and put it in my fuel belt. Then after about 10k that started to rub and get annoying so I couldn't wait to see mum to be able to give it to her - she was coming at about 12k.
Fuel -
5k water
8k water
12k gatorade & 2 jelly babies (Starburst!)
12-16k 3 jelly babies
16k water
22k water & gatorade
25k water
23-26k 4 jelly babies
28k FINISH - lots of water (at least 1.5litres)

ALthough it was a coolish morning, running in it wasn't so cool. The sun was shining and I guess it would have been about 20 degrees by the time I finished. Will get the data from the garmin later re: elevation etc. because I want to see the difference in the hills through the grampians and the ones I'll be running at Great Ocean Road.

Here is a video mum took along the way - gives an idea of the scenery anyway :) This section is at our farm before heading into the mountains - at the 13k mark here so nice and early in the run.
