Only One Thing Left To Do
Its with much sadness I write this. The father of a good friend of many of the Brissie running community passed away on Wednesday evening after a battle with cancer. Many of us here had the pleasure of meeting him and spending time with him just five or six weeks ago when he visited Brisbane to see his son.
My 50k will be dedicated to him and the wonderful family and friends he has left behind.

Yesterday at PCRG was the final hit-out before Canberra. While the rest of the troops suffered with some long intervals and hills the six of us there who are doing the marathon/ultra just did 15 minutes of 30/30s.
Once again the Awesome Foursome (Mat, Kelly, Celeste & I) stuck together, with the Dynamic Duo (Wayne & Damien) flying out of sight before too long. It seemed to be the perfect session to round out our campaign. All that's left to do now is run the jolly thing.
Two more (non) sleeps :-)
Good luck to my fellow competitors. It sure won't seem the same without Robert Song though. And thanks to all who've sent good wishes my way.
Gulp!

Best of luck Tesso!! Hope you smash the 50 :)
Good luck Tesso for the 50k. Your training has been excellent for this race. See you saturday.
Somehow you run well when you think about others Tesso ;)
I reckon it suits your personality and style.
Enjoy the race, I'll be thinking of you.
I was so much looking forward to the weekend. Say hello to Vera. I would have enjoyed reliving Womadelaide with her.
And all the best for your run.
"50k
"is a long long way-ay-ay
"but i've got to
"after training every day"
Let's SING that song, tesso.
You'll be great ... let the fun begin.
Have a great experience Tesso and thanks for allof the lovely comments lately!
Hey a qu re 30/30s, I have three sessions that I commonly call 30/30s, 30 sec at 1500m/3000m pace until 1500 pace can no longer be maintained. 2nd version, 30sec, 10% faster each beep. 3rd version 30 sec at pace and the second pace is slower (recovery). What does PC call the 30/30?
Go, Tesso, GO! GO, GO, GO!!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOO, TESSOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I've been practicing. Just wait till you see me perform that one in my miniskirt and pom-poms :-)
Have an awesome weekend, and I'll see you there.

Good luck Tesso.
Do it for the Titans.
The Titans! Bull!
You must be enjoying your second last (non) sleep Tesso. Good luck for a special run.
Good luck Tesso. Have been, will be thinking of you.
Hello from Boston, Tess (you're probably already in Canberra), but you don't need to "gulp". I am sure you will put in a great effort in Canberra and I will really be looking forward to your post-race report. You are always an inspiration.
Best of luck, I'm sure you'll do fabulously! *hugs*
sorry to hear that tesso.

With a dedication like that I'm sure it was a great 50K.
