5 Peaks Trail Running Race 2024 @ Goldbar Park

Sunday July 28th, I finished 14th place out of 17 in the Men aged 40-49 category and overall 103 out of 182 Results. It took me 56 minutes to complete 1 lap and a total of 7 km's long. The total Elevation gain was 427 feet. My average heart rate was 178 bpm and max was 193 bpm. 

I’m really happy about my race today. I gave it everything that I had. A couple of weeks ago I had shin splints so I had to overcome that so that I could race today.

The temperature was 23 C. I would like to thank all the volunteers and 5 Peaks for putting on such a great event.

Pups In The Park Running Race 2024 @ Terwillegar Park

Sunday July 7th, I finished 1st place out of 20 overall men Results It took me 32 minutes & 33 seconds for a total of 5 kms. Average heart rate =183 Max =197 The total elevation gain was 72 feet. 

This was a trail race. I had a great start for the first 2.5 kilometres and then there was three times that I had to walk for a little bit. I’m really happy with my race today and I had fun. I went the wrong way three times so I had to back track to get back on the course. 

A huge thanks to The Running Room and all the volunteers for putting on the race. The temperature was 29 deg c.
