On Saturday was the last official Training Walk for the Oxfam Trailwalker Challenge. As usual provided and perfectly organised by Tara and Ian from Sydney Coast Walks.
Since I don't get much time on my own these days to do some proper training, I made sure to get babysitters so I could do at least the night session. I joined Ian and the other keen walkers at Davidson Park, later in the afternoon. They've all walked over 20 kilometers at that time, so I thought it would be good to bring some fresh spirit to the tired walkers...
But god, these people are all fit, it actually was quite hard to keep up with them... I think they are all training for something big, like a 100k challenge...
Anyway, about half way through our night walk Ian waited for the group right in front of the Austrian Club of Sydney... really, at the actual Oxfam I might just have to have a Schnaps, or some Stiegl beer there instead of painkillers... it will be at the 85 kilometer mark, so I guess there's nothing wrong with getting some fresh "spirit" for the last few k's...
It was a nice walk, and there will be a complete "Sydney Coast Walks too" - Team training walk coming up soon. In fact, on the 10th of August, the day before City to Surf...
Thanks for all the donations so far, we are just short of 2000, maybe some of you wanted to contribute to hit it! Just go on our OXFAM blogspot if you feel like donating :-)
Thanks.
