GNW Training Long Weekend.
SATURDAY 1/10/05, 12.30PM, 26K, WEEK TO DATE 42K, 6 HOURS SLEEP
SUNDAY 2/10/05, 9AM, 29K, WEEKLY TOTAL 71K, 8 HOURS SLEEP
MONDAY 3/10/05, 9AM, 24K, 8 HOURS SLEEP
Blue Dog and I checked out sections of the GNW 100 course over the long weekend, ably assisted by super crew Mel and Bernie. Some severe navigational issues and tough terrain, summarised by the fact that the 27K on Saturday (start- CP1) took 4.58 (with a 6 hour cutoff for that leg), the 29K on Sunday took 5.57 (CP2 Congewai- CP3 The Basin, 6 hour cutoff) and the 24K on Sunday took 4.00 (Girrakool- finish, 5 hour cutoff). All up, 15 hours of running in three days.
Anyone contemplating the GNW had better think very carefully about it.
I had a tremendous weekend away with friends, getting in some running over new trails, having a few drinks and good food, etc. I was very tired on Monday and had been nursing a sore throat for a few days prior, plus night sweats since the GH 100 miler. Came down quite ill late Monday night/Tuesday morning. I thought I ran all right otherwise, considering recent history.
I'll be writing more detailed thoughts on the GNW course soon.

Huge weekend Mister G. Looks like you are getting back some form since the glasshouse race. Would have been a struggle keeping the Dog in line though.
Mr G : I am waiting anxiously for your longer report of the impressions of the course. It seems from what you have written it is slow going with the cut off times being a a concern. As you know I was considering doing this with Blue Dog and now your caution makes me very concerned about starting it.
Wow, nice post,there are many person searching about that now they will find enough resources by your post.Thank you for sharing to us.Please one more post about that..
