Heartbreak and Recovery – Week 10 of Maratraining

This week was a bit surreal.  I was back at the corporate big top in Sydney from Monday through Thursday.  The TRR coaches gave us the week off to recover from the Ross Half.   I was a bit at a loss but honestly I needed the rest this week.   Work was pretty full on and I put in some long hours.  I’d get to the office before 8AM most days and left pretty late most nights and continued to work from my hotel.   Not really loving...

This was certainly the biggest event we have ever participated in since taking up running 3 years ago and the first time we’ve raced outside Tasmania. Sydney certainly puts on a show for this run. The scenery itself is...
