Jonathon's Racing Attacks and Adventure Packs!

Amazing racing and training adventures on roads and mountainous/hilly TRAILS, freewaybikehike and triathlons. Dreams of a SIX FOOT 45km finish,(DONE 2011,2013,2014,2015!),then ULTRA-TRAIL AUSTRALIA (50km DONE 2016! 100km DONE 2018!!!), memorable Melbourne Marathon and Gold Coast racing. Over a decade dreaming of a SUB 3HR MARATHON, sub 18min 5k, sub 38min 10k, sub 90min Half marathon etc...(shattered? or still realistic?)

As of October 2022; 37 road marathons finished (Perth x14, Melbourne x9,Perth City to Surf x7 Gold Coast x3 Rottnest x3 SunsetCoast x1)
Have also finished 20+ ultra races; 6 inch 47km ultra finished 12 times, six foot 45km ultra 4 times, Ultra Trail Australia ultras 2 times, Truth 50km ultra once within cutoff (and once outside cutoff), Lark Hill 50km ultra, 6hour track race, 24hr track race.
Also completed the Bloated Goat 31km (1500m Vertical gain) 2 times which is similiar effort to a 46km ultra.
DNFs in UTA100km, WTF50miler, WAMC40miler race, Truth 50km, Six foot and 6 inch.
The first 3 DNFs were after covering more than 42km, and with Truth one was a 25km DNF and the first one I finished the full 50km but was 19minutes outside cutoff battling an ankle injury for 36km.
In road marathons 3 DNFs one at 23km in the 2008 Melbourne Marathon due to severe ankle injury in the first 1km, and PC2S @ 30km, also 2022 Perth Marathon at 37km too fat and slow

New week, new month...

Monday 01/05/06; Cycled 10.5km in 34.57 HR-132 (Splits-17.44/17.13) to Bassendean train station and back which is just over 2 minutes faster than what I did on this course on 15/4/06. Felt pretty relaxed physically. Was pretty happy with a relatively relaxed ride I really needed.

Was stressing out mentally a bit trying to figure out what to do about transport options today. Had silly idea of riding into city or to Gozzy (via the train), but that would have been way too time consuming, and I am glad I didn't, because it was a very tight schedule of a day, getting petrol and getting to a job interview which was very promising. I think I may have landed a new position. If so could be that the finances improve to a more realistic fully operational state by mid June. I really hope so, cos its getting all a bit too hard...Thanks God if so. Enjoyed the interview process as it sharpened me mentally a little which is good. need to get a few things on the employment front sorted in the first few days this week before I go after the training again. KL was sick again today, so that also complicated things further. However off to an ok start to the week in many ways despite the challenges.
