Training Log Archive: Vaala

Felt like crap after virtually no sleep last night with work but was desperate for fresh air. Did Tuesday?s route in reverse except took the earlier track down to Thompson Street. Struggled up the hills with some walking required but it was good to get out.

An afternoon trek up Skyline again and around some random loop track at the top. Good to get out of the ES08 madness for awhile before heading back to work in the evening. Ankle a bit sore by the top.

From the hotel up to One Mile Creek track up to the Skyline road then down along some ridiculously steep track to the bottom of the gondola then back along the road. The bottom of One Mile Creek track was incredibly hazy. Serious landslips have clearly taken place so it was a little hairy (and bloody steep...there was the odd patch of walking 'cause the step was way too high). Met Richard coming the other way. Bumped into several tourists on the gondola track. Entertaining! The ankle felt a lot better but not perfect.

Rest day?? Hahaha! Full on madness at work today and I ended up being there 12 hours...like a horror story! Walked around the gardens for a while afterwards to try and chill.
