that's all pretty standard circuit training stuff... you'd want to be able to do all that and more if your going to make it through the event!

Yeah, If I was serious, I'd be doing this in addition to my normal training regime.

One guy I know said he'd be wearing floaties (for a laugh) because he can't really swim! Go figure!:blink:

How did you go with your run mate? Few more k's and you would have done a marathon. I can bust out maybe 15-18km's at the moment. Thirty is incomprehensible.

What is your target finish time come race day?

There is a suggested training regime. It's pretty challenging.

Lifted from the website:

You can use dumbbells, kettlebells, or anything heavy with a handle for most, if not all, of the exercises below.

heres the vid that goes through all that stuff

intense!

i doing it tomorrow

I tried this last night. It's monumental and from about the mountain climbers onwards I was absolutely spent.

I'm in mega-pain today but it's an awesome workout and you feel fantastic afterwards.

It made them look like piss weak fat f**ks lol, then I lost my shit when I saw the woman on the ground with the row up bar. I'll have to try this and see how hard it is to do pull ups by that stage.

we do this kind of work out on a Sat morning... much harder than a regular weights session but its only as hard as you make it... if you just cheat the movements (like a lot of what I saw in that vid) it makes the whole thing much easier... the Crossfit peeps are experts at cheating, those pull ups are a crime!

Haha especially the guy using his knees to propel himself up. I don't see the point - it's like you're there trying to get through the work out, rather than trying to use the work out.

quoted for truth

yeah its called kipping... a big swing, throw your knees up and ride the momentum... okay if your arms are completely gassed I guess or for a couple of forced reps at the end of a proper set... but probably better to just move onto something else

  • 4 weeks later...

Dose anyone know exactly how long it is. Its says 20km on there site but ive herd on the radio and a few other people saying its only 16km.

I cracked my ribs again on Monday but thinking ill still try give it a go, but I did struggle with a 5km run today.

Ive got a 1.45 start time on Saturday, wish it was a bit earlier but cant do anything about that.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
