Another day in my life... by Tamyka

Mt Beerwah, 09 June 2003

Sat, 12 Aug 2006 02:08:09 -0400

This was my first ever trip to the Glasshouse Mountains and I had no idea what to expect. It was incredibly beautiful... and very cold.

Brisbane River Run, 18 September 2005

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 23:57:29 -0500

Only a week after my first ultra, I found myself a changed woman... "Pain? Sure, it hurts, but it's not Glasshouse!" I was, however, the only runner in costume.

Glasshouse 53km Trail Run, 10 September 2005

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 23:47:57 -0500

I can't think of a better way to recover from Epic than by doing my first ultramarathon.

Kooralbyn 6hr MTB Teams Challenge, 06 November 2005

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 23:38:06 -0500

Look what I bought Kurt for his birthday! I didn't have my camera with me, so I ripped these photos from http://www.sportpixonline.com.au/

Race Photos

Photos of me and my friends at various races.

Cycle Epic 100km MTB Race, 04 September 2005

Wed, 07 Sep 2005 00:40:14 -0400

After a night of enchiladas and sangria, Kurt and I attempted the Cycle Epic with the support of our sole crewman, Mark. It was a day of blue Powerade and peanut butter sangers, of pain and embarrassment, and eventually of beer. (Photos by Mark)

34th Lamington National Classic, Day 1, 27 August 2005

Sun, 28 Aug 2005 04:49:52 -0400

Runners take the Border Track from Binna Burra to O'Reilly's Guesthouse on Saturday. They head off at the respectable time of 10am and the first runner was home well before noon. A lot of the runners head back along the track the next day.

Weddings, Parties... Anything!

Photos of me and my friends doing social and antisocial things. And whatever else I want to put in.

Gear... and Stuff...

Sun, 28 Aug 2005 04:19:19 -0400

Bike gear, running gear, general gear... it's all in here!

City 2 Surf Fun Run, 14 August 2005

Mon, 15 Aug 2005 18:29:45 -0400

I took a team from work and headed down early Friday morning. After hanging out Friday night, I barely saw them until after the race. I had a great time though, hanging out with the rest of the gang, and I even ran in costume.

Gold Coast Half Marathon, 03 July 2005

Fri, 15 Jul 2005 05:34:52 -0400

As a pace runner for this race, I had to run a half marathon in 1h 50min; I got a free singlet and I got to run with big red balloons! I also got free accommodation at the Royal Pines, with great views.

Murarrie Criterium Cat 2 and 3, 02 July 2005

Fri, 15 Jul 2005 05:23:02 -0400

I didn't race that day, because I had to get down the coast for Half Marathon pacing duties. But I managed to get a few photos of Paul winning Cat 3, and Ken and AB placing first and third in Cat 2.

Bushwalking and Camping Trips

Wed, 15 Jun 2005 08:09:38 -0400

Photos of the beautiful scenery that is so abundant when you go bushwalking in Australia, and potentially some ridiculous camping shots.

Lamington National Park, 12 June 2005

Wed, 15 Jun 2005 08:09:38 -0400

Kurt and I spent a quiet day wandering through the misty rainforest, completing the Coomera and Mt Hobwee circuit at Lamington National Park.

Other Sports

Thu, 02 Jun 2005 00:35:54 -0400

It's not just about bikes and running, you know. I've also done boxing, trapeze, and heaps of other sports.

Warwick Pentath-Run, 21-22 May 2005

Mon, 30 May 2005 03:51:46 -0400

This is the best race I've ever done. It's five races in two days that add up to a full marathon, and it hurts.

MTB Half Marathon, 29 May 2005

Mon, 30 May 2005 03:12:11 -0400

Against my better judgement, I entered a race that I was totally unprepared for, and had a great time. I also had a few accidents, which may explain that grease...

Winter Wonderland, 19 May 2005

Thu, 19 May 2005 20:09:59 -0400

At around 1700, sub-tropical Brisbane was turned into a Winter Wonderland, when a hail storm shocked the unsuspecting, unwarned locals. Much damage was done to property, and cars on Coronation Drive were blocked in by the hail drifts. As I drove to uni the next day, these hail drifts were still lining the streets, slowly melting. I got these pictures from my friend Kati, who got them from her friend Val.

Ironman Australia Triathlon, 04 April 2005

Sun, 08 May 2005 02:31:18 -0400

This was the 20th anniversary race, and it was a thrill to be there as a spectator, supporting my friends and generally having a good time.

Adventure Training, Glasshouse Mountains, 17 Jan 2004

Sun, 08 May 2005 01:45:23 -0400

Our coach, Todd, dragged the team up to the Glasshouse Mountains for a 7-hour training session on the hottest, most humid day of the summer. We ran up and down Ngungun, rode to Beerwah, went up and down Beerwah, rode to Tibrogargan, went up and down Tibrogargan, ran to the tower, and then rode to Woodford. And it wasn't until that last bike ride that it finally rained. Todd took these photos as evidence. He also gave us beer and bakery treats at completion!

06 May 2005 - The Bloodfest!

Fri, 06 May 2005 21:33:37 -0400

It was a dark and stormy day. Three BLART riders headed off into the gloom. Little did they know they had invoked the wrath of the Gods of Punctures and Stacks.

BLART Rides

Fri, 06 May 2005 21:33:37 -0400

The Brisbane Lard-Arse Return-to-Training (BLART) Rides began a long, long time ago, when a thread began on aus.bicycle about how the bunch rides are too fast. Next thing, we had a small group doing social rides, with a southside start point!

Mothers Day Classic, 08 May 2005

Fri, 06 May 2005 05:33:06 -0400

Every year, I do the Mothers Day Classic with Mum and Dad.

Family Photos

Wed, 04 May 2005 06:27:32 -0400

Format for the race was 2 km run/ 250 m swim/ 20 km cycle/ 250 m swim/ 4 km run, and I placed second.

Mooloolaba Ride, 01 May 2005

Mon, 02 May 2005 01:51:11 -0400

Matt and I rode up to Mooloolaba to watch the triathlon. We started around 4am. Once up there, we met up with his wife, Tam and my mate, Hamish.
