Trail running things I have learnt ... so far

After a long haitus from running, I started up again on the 21 March 2012 with a 25min amble around the baseball fields where I am a memeber. Imagine my surprise when I found that ... nothing hurt. You must understand that I had badly damanged my ankle playing squash the year before and had also have some attention to my knees.

Since then I have reaslised a few things that I want to share:

• I love trail running and may I never run on tar or pavement again (unless I am crossing a road from one trail to the next)!
• Ryan Sandes is a machine
• I would love to do an ultra race and/or a multi-day event. If I had the bucks ... adeventure racing
• My goal is do to the Puffer and the Otter or the Retto
• Ryan Snades is an amazing athelete ... and a machine
• I haven't found the online running journal that meets all my wants and needs
• I haven't found a watch that meets all my wants and needs
• Converting a track/workout is a pain ... but I am working on that
• I live in a beautiful part of the world with amazing trail running routes in my backyard
• There isn't any easy to use database of trail running routes to pick from
• Chai seeds
• Salomon and The North Face kit is both very good and very nice
• I love being outdoors and the feeling of freedom you get when trail running

So having said that, I will:

• Try not to training too quickly
• Will build up to my first ultra
• Will blog about my technology experiements with GPS, kit and online journals
• Will try and create a comprehensive source of route data for the Western Cape Area - specifically the deep south and Table Mountain

See you on the mountains...
