****Warning Sport Post*** I went to the gym then had a soy frapacino not really, but I did have an amazing day in the blue mountains yesterday, I lined op at the start of the North Face 100 quite, conservatively in wave 3 so a 6.38 start,. a quick section on the road to sort out the slow runners then straight onto the stairs, which were going to be a big part of the day, I could not count how many stairs we went up and down maybe 10,000 probably more, the course had a total climb of 4500 metres so it was always going to be a tough course, my plan was to go out a a fairly steady pace, I had times I wanted to be at each check point, at the half way mark I was an hour ahead of myself, but I knew things would catch up in the end. the final 22km from CP5 down into the valley was very tough, a steep 9km quad burning decent then a massive climb out up the Furber stairs [933 steps] the finish line was only a few hundred metres from there, I finished around 8.15pm ,13hrs and 34 minutes after I started, I was aiming for 14 hours and had to work hard all day to maintain the pace, it was one of the hardest things ive done, but such an awesome course, that kept me going, I know have a Silver belt buckle to put in the pool room photos to follow, I managed to get the camera out to capture some pretty awesome scenery
