Maroochydore then Home
Thursday 30/3: 3x5min Tempo Run with 3 min Rec
On flying to Maroochydore last night I got an early start on the end of daylight savings. As such it was easy to get up at 5am for a run. I haven’t been here before so it’s good that we did a quick orientation last night while finding somewhere to eat. Wasn’t much of a problem though as we’re staying on the river in town and I just headed along the river and down the beaches for about 7km all up.
We had a very busy and long day on Thursday.
After my run and breakfast we were working on some of the final preparations to set up our new customer. We then a full day in the office having a look around their offices and production facilities, setting them up and running them through the system and making modifications based on their specific requirements. We then headed out to the hinterland for dinner with the family of a friend and business associate of my boss. This guy has a beautiful residence on top of one of the ridges high in the sky, and to say he has expansive views would be an understatement. It was very spectacular, and a lovely night. So it was late back to the apartment for some well deserved sleep…saying goodbye to daylight savings is good for getting up but you pay for it at the end of the day!
Friday 31/3: 6km Recovery Run
I contemplated heading the other direction up the river but ended up taking a more direct route to the beaches and got to a couple of the ones I missed yesterday.
Just an easy cruise around which was good for rubber necking. It was a bit cloudy and the sunrise was spectacular…purple/pink/orange blazing through the clouds as the sun made its way over the horizon.
Another full on day of setting up and training flew by. Then off to the airport for a late flight back to Sydney just before the curfew.
Saturday 1/4
Drive back to Port mid morning, with a stop at Rebel Tuggerah for a couple of running supplies! Then a visit to the Ironman expo at Port for a few more running supplies – finally got some bodyglide and a couple of GUs to test out on some longer runs.
