2P's Big Day Out (Pt 3)

Sorry about the third post but blogger wont let me upload pics to emailed blog entries - so Tesso this is the end of the mini-series - the recovery goes well - I'm pretty sore but no injuries that I can detect. I think I've milked this run enough now :-)

So the stats - I'm not sure if the "missing section" was handled as "the crow flies" (the section across the bottom of the map looks suspiciously straight) or as I was navigating a route (from programmed waypoints) Garmy recorded the whole trip? Anyhoo SportTracks put it at 43.56k. For the diary I'm rounding it up to 44k which I reckon is still pretty conservative.

Total ascent: 1,835m (woohoo)
Total descent: 1,835m (well it was a loop)
16.85kms of ascent
8.89kms of flat
17.83kms of descent (so the ups must have been slightly steeper than the downs)

Also I couldn't get a good image on Google Earth - but here is is anyway.

Whew, lucky the ascent and descent were the same or you'd still be up there somewhere. Or digging your way to China.

I like Hellgate Gorge. Some explorer had a mishap in that place.

Crikey 2P! I'm speechless!! I too love the name Hellgate Gorge, just the sort of thing you want to see on the map of a run you're about to embark on LOL

Lulu said...

I think you need to change your name to the mountain goat or something. Glad you had fun and didn't do any damage.

Vicki said...

I'm exhausted just reading about it!.. Good on ya! :-)

Looks like ski poles will come in handy for those doing the Fat Ass. Put it on the Sunday after 6' - start and finish at the caves ;)

Shane said...

Wow, 2p awesome effort, you should be happy with the way the day went for you. Good to hear that no injuries have come from it just a little soreness as one would expect.

So is this going to be a definent Fatass event coordinated by yourself or is this still undecided??. It certainly looks and sounds as though it would be a popular event.

That was the best read that I've had for a while (and I think that reading about it was the best way to experience it! You do know that you're certifiable, don't you... :-) :-) )

You'll be using 6 foot as a tapering run after that. Great run.

TD said...

This is an absolutely massive one 2P and 'well done' doesn't seem enough for this effort.

Hilda said...

Impressive.

That is some epic run. Good on you 2P

miners said...

oh ho! So THIS is what the world of running has been talking about for the last few days!!

Mate, that is one hugely epic run - and fantastically reported for our benefit. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. Geez - I haven't even set foot on the 6FT course yet, and already you're setting new challenges for me :)

Best of luck in the rest of the lead-up to 6FT mate. Take it easy for a day or two though won't you?

Rachel said...

Great posts. What an amazing effort!
