esqinchi Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Whoa dude 5th place on a 50 mile run, that's awesome! Congrats! Did you hit the pub after??? At the marathons here they always have a giant flatbed truck full of bananas, and kegs of beer set up for the runners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the marathons here they always have a giant flatbed truck full of bananas, and kegs of beer set up for the runners.I didn't have a beer for a few days after the run, not sure why as it's one thing I crave after hard sessions. Maybe I just forgot as I was catching up with friends and just having a good old time I only did the 50km run NOT the 50miles, mine was the 'baby ultra'. 5th place yeah, but there were only 10 people running the 50km lol. I let a guy pass me about 30km in and I didn't realise he and I were in the same group otherwise I would have stuck with him, I let him go after I spent a couple of minutes in the toilet and it was only at prize giving I realised the bugger had got 3rd place. I should have skipped the toilet and stayed on his heels grrrrrrrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But haha that's funny you dropped to 5th because you dropped trou! Still impressive buddy, and a hell of a lot farther than I could ever run. Plenty of time for beers in the future.

Mini Forklift Posted May 3, 2014 Author Share Posted May 3, 2014 What an amazing day today was. We headed over to a little place called Diamond Harbour, found a great little cafe that served top coffee and the best vegan burger I have had in a long time. The girls loved it too, amazing scenery and a short cruise ride to get there and back. This is what life is all about aye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Will write last nights' run up soon but man... it slammed me. It was only about 12km but the first 6km were running into a gale-force headwind and it felt like I was barely moving. Before I turned the corner which put the wind behind me (YAY) I think I had only managed to average a 5.30/km pace and I felt pretty smashed, but the homeward bound tailwind must have really helped me out as I finished up with a sub 5min/km pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Another great little run this morning, wanted to put in one a bit quicker than race pace and my goal was 13km in close to an hour. Will type it up later but managed to knock out 13.5km in 65mins, which I was happy with considering the very hot & windy conditions. 23°C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esqinchi Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Nice work on the PB buddy! I get so jealous of the space you have around there. One could run here (if it ever turns to summertime), but you'd be constantly hurdling potholes in the pavement - not to mention the crazy drivers. Never heard of oat milk. Is that just oats and water? I made some vegan horchata with that once - it was awesome! I think this was the recipe:http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/marcela-valladolid/sweet-cinnamon-flavored-oatmeal-drink-horchata-recipe.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks Chris, I'll have a look on the back of the box. I am presuming that basically it's just oats and water but I bet there's at least another one or two ingredients in it lol. Tastes great though, we can order it from one of our suppliers at work so I order by the box !! Yeah there is lots of space over here, plus NZ is really under-populated anyway That road I run along in the photo (Grays Rd) is about 1.5km long and perfect for fast running as the road is smooth, hardly any cars use it and it's about 4km into the run so I'm nicely warmed up by the time I get there. When you get to the end of the road I normally turn left and there's another 1.5km of dead-straight road and slightly downhill... perfect !!
