Falls Creek Trip #1

As I write this blog from sixteen-hundred metres altitude at the popular Falls Creek Ski Village in the Victorian Highlands, I am chilled out and recovering from my Sunday long run. With my coffee sitting next to the laptop and all my recovery food & drink already consumed, I will now attempt to give you an interesting read.


I have been coming here (to Falls) for ten years now, and I always enjoy coming back here. Out of all the trips I have made, this is only the second time have I gone to Falls in November. The last time I came here in November was in 2009, shortly before my 28:19 Zatopek:10 effort and twelve weeks before my 2:11:00 marathon debut. I am here this year to recapture the form of 2009 and improve upon my 10000m & Marathon PBs over the next couple of months.

Another week down which brings me one week closer to hopping on the plane to Korea. We were blessed with a beautiful week up here, while there was still the usual cool breeze, we had ALOT of sunshine.
We have been in Daegu for just over a week now, more of the Australian team as well as teams from other countries so the atmosphere is growing.
