Well done walkers and runners !


There were some great performances last weekend in the Sara Killey Memorial Walk as well as in the Flora Marathon. Well done to all the athletes !
Myself had some good training today and had planned a distance of about 50 K. When I arrived at Baarn, a village very close to media place Hilversum, I noticed that my aunt and uncle were not at home. So my planned pitstop was not a succes.
I decided to go backwards after the 25 k and had choosen a different route and walked in places I've never been before. Especially the parts through the woods were very nice and enjoyed it very much.
The way back was a bit longer and the total distance was about 54 K if I can trust the GPS system. Time was 6 hours and 24 minutes, not very quick, but it was a training and no race. Walking did go well but I was not so comfortable due to hay fever and as a result of this my eyes looked like if I came straight out of an Amsterdam Coffee Shop ;-)
I hope to increase the distance soon and will probably do some speed training.
Cheers,
Martijn
