On Saturday 19th May 2012 about 850 hearty souls will again test their will on the tough and unforgiving course that is the TNF 100. A 100km run through the tough but beautiful Blue Mountains starting and finishing at the Fairmont resort.
Last year nearly half of the field did not complete this event. I set myself a time of 16hrs 30mins and finished in 19hrs 33mins. My first goal was to simply finish the event, my second was to break 20hrs and third was to break 16hrs. Goals 1 & 2 complete.
I strongly underestimated the course and my training was not consistent enough to complete the third goal.
NOT THIS TIME AROUND.
I have upped to antae I want to break 15hrs next year. Yes that is 4hrs 33mins faster than this year some say it cant be done some say it can, I now know the course and my training is already better. So this is my story of how I am going to get there, you can follow my up’s and downs of training, meeting new friends along the way and hurting lots.
