Woke up a bit..
Hmmm over the weekend, it suddenly dawned on me that my Mt KK climb is only 3 weeks away and I havent really been training! So dragged myself to the gym over the weekend and did some climbs on the treadmill.
Yup good old treadmill, try this, set the speed to 5.0 km/h, set the incline to 15% (max) and walk for 30 mins. If you are not breathing hard after 5 mins, man you're really good and fit. As for moi....I think a porno movie wouda been quieter.... whew
I managed to get my heartrate up to 170bpm which is 95% of my max HR...not bad...but eventually i had to go slower and slower to make 30 mins.....
The other thing I did was to get me a pair of hiking boots. I was torn between getting a normal pair and a waterproof pair, the price of which was double the regular one, in the end, my memories of Mt Ophir came flooding back and I opted for the waterproof pair, better safe than sorry. So it was Hitec ($20 less) vs Columbia, I got the Columbia ones....
So i wore them awhile yesterday and will be wearing them all day today to break them in. Doing a trek on a hill this weekend too to get a feel....
Looked at some pics on the web of Mt KK....hmmmm.....memories came back again, do I really want to do this???
Yeah... unfinished chapter this is... :D
