The beach was just gorgeous yesterday!!!
Once I started walking south from the carpark I didn’t see another human being for 2 hours. Nice work on my speedo tan and I got some paperwork done.
I noticed this morning that my speedo tan is probably the best it has ever been. I’ve been back for 10 weeks or so and I haven’t had that many days like yesterday just tanning but swimming laps during the day is probably responsible for most of it. It got me thinking about my body changes since I’ve gotten back from Colorado.
I’ve lost 5kgs (10lb) since I’ve been back and I really haven’t been trying. Just being outdoors a bunch and walking the 1km or 2kms to town pretty much every day just to get lunch or milk and bread has had an effect and I suppose I am swimming a bit more than I was when I was living in Breckenridge. The weather is mild enough here during the winter that I hope my schedule/routine won’t change too much otherwise I’m sure those 5kgs will return quick smart.
I’d love to hear anyone else’s body changes over the last few months, those in the northern hemisphere are coming into summer so there will be lots of speedo time for you guys.
Just talking about this and the pic of the guy below has motivated me to get off my arse and go to the pool. Have a good day guys.
Hey guys,
This post is written the day after I went for my hike. I’m not going to share with you the exact details of where it was but it was a 7hr loop (which was supposed to take longer). I got up at 6am, drove over an hour and a half to the trail head. On the way there, the radio said there was a heavy rain and flood warning for the exact area that I was going.
Driving down there – it looked like the weather forecast was spot on.
It was before 8am, I was well awake, had all my gear so I thought I’d take it on. The first 4hrs of the hike was below the tree line on the northern side (wind was coming from the south). I figured as long as I turned around by 3:30pm in the arvo (afternoon) I could find my way back to the car – although that was something I would not have been happy with.
Because of the rain warning I didn’t take my camera – I was afraid it would get wet and I thought that I was racing the clock so I didn’t want to dick about.
I didn’t dick about but I will – the sign said it was a 10hr loop and I had parked my car 5kms away from the end of the loop… I was thinking 11hrs and maybe 13hrs at the worst. I was back at the car after 7hrs…. I was completely shagged, blistered, cold and wet in places I didn’t even know that existed.
Even though I was wet, it wasn’t from being rained on entirely. I was sweating during the climb and being rained on while having some part of me being cold all at the same time. It will take another 2 days to dry out my gear from the trip.
Since I didn’t take the camera and I did promise you guys some scenery photos – here are some that I personally took last year. I have some more New Zealand Hikes lined up in the next couple of weeks so I will get some more recent photos if you guys are keen (you have been quiet on the comments lately – comments are my only gauge that I am interesting).
Here are some New Zealand scenery photos that I took 12 months ago……
As a side note… the objective of my hike was to cross a pass. The first person to name this pass will receive a months subscription to SwimmerBoyz.com and BisexualGuyz.com as well as a pair of the new DESwimwear speedos (secret to be revealed next week).
