- Horrocks Pass...

Today?s run gave a spectacular run down from
Horrocks Pass, which connects Wilmington and the valleys with the main
road between Adelaide andPort Augusta.

But the up-run was a lot less spectacular - a morning-tired battle with
keeping running while pushing 35kg luggage + 5kg baby jogger upwards 400m.
;-)


At Port Augusta the long distance runners had arranged a hotel room
waiting for me - and later an evening barbeque !

I certainly feel that Australian helpfulness is something else :-) only
matched by what I experienced in Finland.

Big thanks to Alan, Mick and the other P.A. runners & family!!


20. December tip:
Frequent food.. or freak food ;-)

Eating many small meals can give you a better energy base by keeping the
blood sugar stabile through the day.

I eat 8 meals + 2 during night!
