About Me

My photo
The older I get the better I was... but after many years of idle burrowing the candle of desire is still burning and I have come to realise that running is as much a part of me as my heart and lungs... In Christmas 2008 I was 82kg and was not running a step..This is my journey , the journey of the wombat...Dogged...determined...persistent...and maybe a little grumpy.. but like the wombat my journey is territorial, its about running and I am going to work to protect it...Come along for the ride and see if I can become the wombat warrior. 2009 was a mixed bag for the wombat's journey.A top ten placing in both the Bridges and the City Surf brought a small sense of achievement but also a degree of frustration.... I think I can do better and better I will in 2010. A better run in the Busso Half iron man in support of TV in his swim and bike ride and that was about the extent of my racing. Lets see what happens in 2010 as "My journey Continues". Now in 2011 the wombat will continue his journey, but not alone the wombat has a youngling who knows how to dig. 2015 and its a new beginning , time goes on and the journey to the 2016 World Masters is under way.

OMG


Yes I know , no blogs for months then two in a day.... Just need to share the session. Being on holidays I have the time to put in some additional sessions.... Read some where about this corker bike workout. I do mine riding in the shed on a wind trainer.... Basically it involved me pushing really hard for 12 seconds then backing off for 8 secs.... I made a conscious effort to keep the hard really burning and then only backing off enough to notice I was backing off... Anyway the idea is to go like this for 20 minutes..... The result Legs burning by the 8 minute mark, dry reaching at 12 minutes , threw up at 19 minutes but managed to get through to the 20 minutes.......
My legs are shot , I lost about 30 litres of water in perspiration and I am shattered.... but I really enjoyed pushing to the limit.... Where to from here? Well I though I might go and slam my testicles in the car door for an easy session... Unbelievable "Who though of that session?"
Barrel on Wombats...
