Mount Panorama - Take 2!

If your a regular reader of my blog - you'll of read this . It was the first time i climbed Mother Mountain, and last Sunday i climbed it again.  Hot Lap of Mt Pan Take 2!


It feels as long as it looks!!






It was the Mini milestone for 12WBT week 4 round 4 and i smashed that mountain i beat my previous time of 1 hour 31 Min's 39 seconds  by 14 Min's and 15 seconds! So much more than i hoped! i would of been  happy with 30 seconds better cause it just means I've improved my fitness!


 

A PB and a new Time to beat ! YAY!




  
Stats for this time round were :-
6km in 1:17:24 burning  780 Calories!


I had a fabulous weekend at Bathurst sharing the mountain with old friends and making new ones.  There was 20 of us that walked together in total, and for most of them it was the first time they'd walked the hot lap.  i think each and every one of them plan to do it again! i can't wait...
I'm biting at the bit to get to the 1 hour time !!

Staying at the Rydges on the Track for the first time was a bit hoot! the hotel was amazing, and the staff so accommodating having a big group drinking cocktails on a Saturday night, so many laughs, and so much fun!







The start Line! and we're off!!  Me and My shoes can do anything!             




















Dianna was such an inspiration- she's lost 55Kg on 12WBT, and she ran and walked the mountain carrying 30Kg in weights!!




     I made it to the top!                        Running down- the end is in sight!     JUMPING over the finish line!

 
Those of us officially doing the 4th Round of 12WBT, posed for a photo to summit an entry for the 4 week mini milestone. we didn't win, but we don't care! we had such a great day!
 




On my drive back to Sydney I stopped in at a cute boutique in Bathurst- lets be honest i could of bought everything in the shop! But one little ring caught my eye and had to be mine- it was my gift to me for smashing that mountain!

It seeked me out, and spoke to me-
"paradise is where i am",  "passion", "peace", "magic", "joy", "create", "imagination", "life", "love", and most importantly "infinite courage".




 




 Counting down the days till the next hot lap :)

22.09.12 Walking Mount Panorama - Week 4 Mini Milestone

For Week 4 of Round 3 Michelle Bridges asked us to get together with other 12WBT'ers and stretch your limits, go that bit extra & to try something you've not done before.

So with an invite from some fabulous girls for the 30+ Crew i was off to Mount Panorama- for a "Hot Lap"

What a ball we had! it was hard i won't lie- the first 3KM of uphill walking was H.A.R.D -but it made the 1km jog down the hill that i did worth every step going up worth it! I LOVE TO JOG!

I DID IT!! and i really did love all of it in hindsight- and yes i will do it again :)

We entered in the weekly comp. so fingers cross our group effort will see us as winners :)

I walked just under 7km, and burnt 1000 Cals (my first SSS) in 1 hour 30 Mins - i now have a time to beat!!

I did this for me, for saving my life - and i did it for Dad- for old times sake, for memories & for the hell of it. My mind told me i couldn't do it- but i didn't listen to it and i achieved far beyond my expectations!

It was an amazing feeling!

At the start line and we're off!!
What awaiting me around the first bend- it was scarier than it looks!
And around the next corner!! Errghhh
Looking back for just a second!

I tried to concentrate on pretty flowers!
Almost at the top -the Mount Panorama sign in in sight!
And i made it!!
The View for the top is sweet!
Brock's Skyline -awesome !
I can see the Building that we started our walk from!
