Yesterday we did 1.5 laps of the Glasgow road track in the Dandenongs, the really steep and rocky one! It was without a doubt the toughest training session ever! My heart rate averaged 170-180bps over the four hours, even on the way down it was high from fear because it is so steep and rocky. I burnt over 3000 calories so I really worked hard.
But, it was probably the last time I HAVE to do that track, my PT now wants us to focus on distance with a loaded pack rather than steepness. So my instructions for the next 4 weeks are to walk longer and flatter distances with a 15kg pack. I plan on walking 2 laps of Studley park when possible, each lap is 8km and the track is still a little up and down with some rocky patches. So it will be good training.
I am getting a little nervous now....

Yesterday I bought a pair of Keen Sandals for the trip. I am not much of a sandals girl, but we need them for river crossings.
I found the sandals at Mountain Designs last week for $160, but thankfully I was able to get last seasons colour at the factory outlet for $80. You have to love that!
