<br />
<br />City to surf. A lazy 14k run from the city of Sydney to Bondi…the beach…obviously
<br />
<br />I had done some training in the lead up and was feeling not to bad in the lead. As you might know by now that my prior preparation is often derailed by some form of injury / illness
<br />
<br />This year it was a case of the man flu up until the day – just what you want when you are going for a run!
<br />
<br />By a stroke of luck this year I was in one of the lead groups, filled with some seriously fast runners. My biggest challenge was keeping “my” pace when the gun went off – last year I was overtaking people, this year, until I hit heartbreak hill, I am pretty sure I did not overtake anyone.
<br />
<br />I am not sure if it was the man flu, the weather or me but I was not feeling it and really had to grind out the run. Last year I loved it, this year I put up with it
<br />
<br />Despite all that I managed to knock off almost 3 minutes from last years time (72:12 this year just out of the top 10,000)
<br />
<br />Believe it or not at 34 I am starting to understand how to race!
<br />
<br />Cheers

It is a lazy 2.5 run from work to my front door – nothing more than a sprint really.To keep it interesting I load up my backpack with as much weight as possible and try to get it done in under 10 minutes.<br /><br />The other day was a typical pea soup Brisbane summers day – heavy on the heat and humidity. I was just around the corner from my place and breathing pretty hard when I saw a lady on one of those mobility scooters. I ran around her not noticing her dog…..which jumped and bite me on leg<br /><br />Now to be fair to the dog what would you do?<br /><br />A strange looking bald man, dripping with sweat and breathing very heavily is running towards your mum<br /><br />Luckily the dog just caught me on the shorts without any major damage<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />GregGreghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06373325128105968375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809466330700915926.post-26507304030337232542011-01-23T21:04:00.001+11:002011-01-23T21:07:39.472+11:00Naked Training (well on the feet at least)So I am mixing things up with my training including a weekly crossfit class with my buddy Sharif (http://www.sharifit.com)<br /><br />It is a great class which really pushes me – mainly because he is interested in technique not how quickly I get through it...which is a real challenge<br />The other challenge for me is the time. <br /><br />7am<br /><br />Saturday Mornings<br /><br />In a park about 10k’s from my place. Now in case you have not been keeping up I am pretty unorganised guy.<br /><br />I am the kind of person who will turn up to the pool without a towel or swimmers (but will not forget my goggles – this is not a lie it happened to me the other day). So this Saturday I woke up at 6:40 with 20mintes to get dressed and get to the park<br /><br />Luckily I got to the park bang on 7. As I was putting on my socks I realised something was missing<br /><br />Shoes<br /><br />Bugger<br /><br />I had two choices<br /><br />Go barefoot or go home<br /><br />So I went barefoot. Of course Sharif decided to make me so a heap of sprints. Luckily I manage to avoid anything to dramatic and complete the session – although my feet are pretty cut up <br /><br />The moral to the story for me is not about my preparation (or lack of) but making the best of every situation<br /><br />I am off to put some more band aids on my feet.....<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />GregGreghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06373325128105968375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809466330700915926.post-32943642168501607932011-01-14T21:09:00.004+11:002011-01-14T21:25:21.540+11:00The Brisbane FloodsHi All,<br /><br />What a crazy, scary week.

Do not wear them if you are looking to improve your performance. Train smarter and harder. Wear them for the psychological improvement and to stay warm. Any improvement you get is a bonus<br /><br /><br />3. Never wear skin coloured compression tights. Go plain. They are a functional item not a fashion item.<br /><br />3. Most expensive is not always best. I have tired a few different brands and have found my pair, a middle of the ground, suit me the best rather than the most expensive. Ask around and get a recommendation from someone<br /><br />4. I wear them to stay warm not cool I have seen the “ice” compression wear around and I am not convinced. I have worn compersiions wear in warm weather and found I got too hot. Just not my scence<br /><br />And last but not least<br /><br />Do not ever, ever wear just your compression clothing when you for a run. No matter what time of the day it is, no matter how cold it is no one wants to see that. No one<br /><br /><br /><br />What do you think?<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />GregGreghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06373325128105968375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809466330700915926.post-51292497653691199862010-08-13T07:53:00.002+10:002010-08-13T07:59:29.765+10:00You know it is not going to be your day when.....Your umbrella springs open on a full bus spraying people with ice cold water<br /><br />Off for a swim today to try and shake off the aches and pains from the city to surf. The other night i tired to run home.....<br /><br />I was about 7k's in when i started to cramp in both my calves. Young Greg would have pushed through....older Greg decided to jump on a bus.<br /><br />So i flagged down the bus and asked for my ticket (my stop was around 4k's away)<br /><br />Turns out the bus driver had just done the city to surf and started to take the piss out of me for stopping running....according to him<br /><br />- it would have been quicker to run than catch the bus (which was wrong as he drove like a madman!)<br />- I needed to toughen up....a fair point when you think about it<br /><br />You have got to love Sydney public transport<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />GregGreghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06373325128105968375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809466330700915926.post-20809060462494948342010-08-11T16:53:00.001+10:002010-08-11T16:54:57.182+10:00Results are inSo the official time is in 74.52....8 seconds below the cut off for the top group next year<br /><br />NOt bad not bad at all<br /><br />For anyone interested this is the run<br /><br /><br /><iframe src="http://js.mapmyfitness.com/embed/blogview.html?r=6f5ca975320ec3381ddee7b6662034a4&u=m&t=run" height="700px" width="100%" frameborder="0"><a href="http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/australia/sydney/707877282">City to Surf</a><br/><a href="http://www.mapmyrun.com/find-run/australia/sydney">Find more Runs in Sydney, Australia</a></iframe><!-- MMF PARTNER TOOL -->Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06373325128105968375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809466330700915926.post-27195943617654805532010-08-09T19:19:00.000+10:002010-08-09T19:22:08.413+10:00A run with some companyBelieve it or not over the past months I have actually been doing something<br /><br />1. I shaved half my left leg (so I could strap my ankle)<br />2. I went for a swim so bad that an old man doing breath stroke almost overtook me<br />3. I did the city to surf – with 80,000 other people<br /><br />The city to surf is a 14k run from the centre of Sydney to Bondi beach. After years of talk I finally decided to enter.<br /><br />I trained a little and felt in decent shape before hand. Then I looked at my wave start.<br /><br />I was in the walkers group. The last group out of 80,000 runners…...<br /><br />As I was warming up at the start line a large group of people started to eat huge bags of McDonalds (with large cokes)<br /><br />It was that kind of wave<br /><br />Oh did I mention the guy’s running in full body stockings?<br /><br />Anyhow the gun went off and I proceeded to dodge my way through the people in sumo and dinosaur suits to finish in around 74 minutes (not bad considering the circumstances!)<br /><br />I was on such a high that I signed up to do my first half marathon……then I woke up the next day and felt how sore I was!

I do not have my times handy but I was only slightly slower than last year. Funny, as I am the unfittest I have been for a while, it was the first race I felt that I raced to my full capacity.<br /><br />Do you need to be unfit to race smart? I am starting to think it works for me.<br /><br />On the plus side being unfit might not be so bad<br /><br />- Every session you do it feels like a good work out<br />- No need for compression gear. All your old clothes are as tight as compression clothes…<br />- You are never lonely. Every time I have gone for a swim the lifeguards have stayed really close to me<br /><br />During my blog sabbatical I also managed to go to South Africa and meet some in-laws (my wife is South African). What an interesting and great place – plus we landed just as the SA iron man was on<br /><br />Talk about a sign<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />GregGreghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06373325128105968375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809466330700915926.post-16834958470972295632010-05-24T21:19:00.001+10:002010-05-24T21:20:41.252+10:00Songs not to sing out loud on the busCrowded bus, me listening to my ipod.....<br /><br />I catch myself singing "touch me" by the doors....<br /><br />Missed me much?<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />GregGreghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06373325128105968375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809466330700915926.post-83554227369333281232010-03-18T14:25:00.000+11:002010-03-18T14:26:05.609+11:00Long time between drinks(well not that long as all i have been doing is drinking...)<br /><br />Well it has been a tough couple of months training wise.

I got out towards the end of my wave..but towards the front of the wave after me....<br /><br />After about 6k on the bike my back was starting to feel good. I thought this was the moment, time to take it up a notch. So i clicked up the gears, got out of the seat and started to go for it when it happened again<br /><br />My back........Was almost gone<br /><br />So what to do 6k's out? I put it into a low gear and tried to spin it out. It was a long course when your spinning like i was!<br /><br />After the slowest bike...ever....i rolled into transition. It was then i saw my wife who was worried (i was doing this tri with a first timer Ben...who did awesome...but she was worried when i was so far behind him!)<br /><br />It was make or break time. Should i stop or just try and shuffle my way through?<br /><br />Of course i went for it. I battled through the run to finish in around 1:28 or so<br /><br />I was slow on the bike and my run was nothing that great but......i was pretty proud of my effort. This was the first time that i had finished a race not wondering "what if"<br /><br />And it has given me motivation for the next one!<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />GregGreghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06373325128105968375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809466330700915926.post-80872461783850933972010-01-11T19:35:00.002+11:002010-01-11T19:38:01.159+11:00Brick = BadSo i thought i would do a lazy brick session on Sunday<br /><br />A nice ride followed by a run. The ride was great, felt strong and smooth<br /><br />As for the run about 2k's away from my place my back went. Out of no where...a long way from home...with no phone....outside a KFC (i is not a good look to be bent over groaning outside the dirty bird)<br /><br />Here is oping it comes good for Sunday....it is not looking good at this stage<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />GregGreghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06373325128105968375noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809466330700915926.post-43958500827939524152010-01-09T22:57:00.000+11:002010-01-09T22:58:08.996+11:00One week to goUntil my first race in a long time<br /><br />Have i done enough?

Did I mention that I left my only working watch at work? There went any chance of a race plan<br /><br />After one of those nights where you wake up every hour (and no it was not my son...it was me) I was up at 5:30 ready to go. <br /><br />Pity we were leaving at 7:30<br /><br />As my wife and son were doing the same course as part of a walk I decided to get creative with my timing chip. Yes I was going to run as my wife.<br /><br />After the trek to the Olympic stadium...about a 45 minute drive from our place....then another journey from the car park to start line....another 30 minutes...we had about 3 minutes to find our friends before the race started! No real stretch or warm up, it was going to be ready set go....<br /><br />As we got to the start line it started to drizzle then really rain. I said goodbye to my wife and son and meet up with Ben (my running mate) to head for the start line.<br /><br />There were around 6,000 runners – it was pretty weird running with all those people! At the 7k mark or so Ben decided to slow down...feeling good I decided to kick on. Before I knew it was running into the Olympic stadium and through the finish. As with every race I have ever done the real issue was the pacing i.e. I felt fine at the end and could have pushed much harder. I guess this will only ever get better with experience<br /><br />I had my time somewhere around the 48 minute mark but it turned out to be 52.11. <br /><br />The good news is that I finished 1,290 overall and as the 92nd woman in my age group.....<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />GregGreghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06373325128105968375noreply@blogger.com0
