Sun 5th Feb. Training for 2017 trips done & dusted...

5/2/2017

So, after more than 5 months of what was at times some tough workouts, we completed our final training this morning on the excellent 1000 Steps. All 5 of us from Melbourne who are on the upcoming EBC trek each completed 5 circuits. Pretty good. We joked about our first trip to the Steps back in Sept, when several of us only completed either a single circuit, or at the most 2 very slow circuits. How things have progressed since that first visit. Several in the EBC team have put in some hard yards since our Razorback hike back in November, and it's now showing. I should concede that I couldn't keep up with one or two of them this morning..!!!! (There you go brian@weeroona....an opportunity to remind me that I'm not getting any younger..!!!).

The boys in Dubai have been smashing the inland hills as well, although looking at the below photo, one can see that they haven't had the place to themselves..!! I am told that Neil was very keen to show off to John, Matt & Dan some new and rather expensive "blister-proof" socks that he purchased recently. Following the completion of their recent training session, he is now nursing the biggest blisters that John has ever seen..!!! Mmmm....Doesn't sound like money well spent mate..!

It's been great chatting to a few of the ABC team members since their return. Some ripper stories and several laughs. Will be good to try and organise a catch up with both teams after the EBC trip returns.

I hear Simi did 5 circuits. Well done.... You're definately on your way to enjoying this incredible adventure. Well done to all, Don't slack off in the last week though as you've still got a couple of weeks before you actually start the trek. Just don't do anything stupid between now and then.

"(There you go brian@weeroona....an opportunity to remind me that I'm not getting any younger..!!!)."

And here's me thinking that you were hanging back to encourage the slower walkers like any good leader would.

Wow Simi, 5 circuits of the 1000 Steps. I remember you telling me that you thought I was awesome when I last did that many circuits. I am thrilled to now call you " awesome" for such great persistence and effort. I have always been confident of your achievements gorgeous girl. Girl power at EBC in 2 weeks.
I look forward to watching your progress.
