2023 Festive 500


The Ouzo

Recommended Posts

Work from “home” for today, and possibly tomorrow; but first a morning trot, and a coffee. 5km in the morning and again in the afternoon is a little easier on the legs than a 10km once a day.IMG_1908.jpeg.1607523b902af923d16295083407b715.jpeg

Runners run, cyclists ride.

The rest of us stay home finishing leftover puddings and beverages. :rolleyes:

Rest day for me, today.

10.7km left to plod along. Spending the day with the fandamily in the Mother City. Edit: make that 6.6km to go. The V&A and Hout Bay walks are added in.

The De Jonge burger and tjips at the street-food place did a good job for lunch.

I think I didn't read the Versus challenge description properly, and my virtual rides probably don't count...

I will probably get around half way with outdoor rides.

Realising that the run, if you’re not a proper/regular runner, is actually more challenging than expected. 
I normally run once a week, maybe twice. Varying 5-15km. 
But daily/alternating runs within a week obviously increases the load somewhat. Duh. Consequently picked up a few niggles and pains after a few runs, mostly trail, so opted to take the day off.

Basically, underestimated the pitter patter and absolutely overestimated my athletic ability 🫢 ….

I didn't know that virtual rides don't count?

Walking qualifies, but the activity needs to be marked as a run. Walking makes a big difference in being able to run again the next day. Try walking for a few days to alleviate the niggles, while still keeping active (and ticking the metres off). Having a beach to walk to, for me, helps with the motivation.

I'm not sure either, but I saw this morning that the FAQ doesn't specify virtual activities.

"For cycling, road cycling, mountain biking, and e-biking all count."

I will keep adding the "Versus Back to Base" text. Still counts for fitness, if not free* socks 😁

I see people are uploading virtual rides so worth a try anyway, if e-bikes are acceptable then so should indoor I guess.
