Video: Things don't always go to plan

A few weeks ago I set a very satisfying new PB on the 1 in 20, the most popular climb in the Melbourne area. While I’d been feeling strong in the lead-up, I certainly didn’t think I could take nearly a minute off my best.

  1. I know exactly how you feel about getting nervous before a PB attempt! I always do too. Head winds definitely don’t help, all my PB’s happen when there’s a tail wind 🙂 I’m sure you’ll get it next time.

  2. You talked yourself out of it before you started. Need to work on the head more than the legs mate! Maybe? I say that with all due respect and I obviously don’t know you very well!

  3. my tip (take it or leave it) – you can’t spend time chatting after your warmup, you gotta keep moving. and hit that final climb before KL hard. but then, some days you just don’t have the legs.. 21 mins isn’t bad!

    1. Also I don’t think warm-ups are meant to “hurt” at all. They are just meant to warm you up.
