KAKODA CHALLENGE MELBOURNE TRAINING


This morning i feel from the effort of yesterdays training. On the 28th of October a group of 4 of us our participating in the 30ks kakoda Challenge Over Mount Dandenong, So yesterday we did our first big training session or it.  We did 20ks of the 30k walk. During the challenge they give you  9 hours to compete the challenge and yesterday our fantastic team completed 20ks in just under 5 hours. Got to be happy with that.   Leg burn like i have never felt leg burn before. The hills were a killer but the weather was kind and this morning my legs are definately letting me now they are alive and didnt agree with the torture i pervailed on them yesterday.


But in the Kakoda spirit the 4 of us completed our mission for the day. I bit confused though lol helen and I wore our polars and she burnt 500 cal more than I what is that. All in all a great day with great friends.












A BIT ABOUT KAKODA CHALLENGE MELBOURNE
On sunday 28th of October 4 of us from Intensity Helen, Lisa, Mr Grey and myself are going to do the Kakoda Challenge in Mount Dandenong. In the Kokoda Spirit we will trek the tough 30km course through the Dandenong Ranges. Anybody wanting to join us please feel free to register.

Starting in Ferntree Gully National Park, the route encompasses the Kokoda Memorial Walk and tests your stamina on the 1000 steps.

To compete each team must raise $400. So with the help of Intensity and Julie we are hoping to raise beyond this amount. Any $$$ amount above $400 that we raise we will be donating to Heart Kids. So if you want to get on board you can sponsor us via julie.

The $400 funds raised go to supporting the Melbourne Kokoda Challenge Youth Program – assisting young people to reach their full potential.

So if you want to get onboard and help us raise money for Melbourne Youth Program and Heart Kids please do so. You can hop online and go to

  3. OMG Heidi you're doing Stampede the day before you are a machine...
    It was one of the reasons I didn't look into this further due to already signing up to Stampede when I discovered it. Good Luck not that you will need it as you train hard and have shown us again and again you are definitely capable of everything :)

Rond 2 2012 Finale Pics Had a Ball

Last weekend i ventured over to perth for Round 2 Finale and had an absolute ball.  Its a chance for us all to get glamed up and treat ourselves after all the hard work we have put in over the 12 weeks.  First id like to thank Tania de Rossi for organising the group hair and makeup even on Saturday Afternoon it was great sitting there drinking champaign and catching up with other 12weekers.  Then back to my hotel with my lovely daughter to get frocked up and of we go. From there its history. Danced and drank the night away. Presentation was one of the proudest moments of my life.  My daughter baby tough mudder not only won by changing her life this round but she took out the overall transformation title. My husband and i stood there crying a moment i will never forget. ( actually brings tears to my eyes everytime i think of it) You just have to watch the video below and you will know what i mean
