Cronulla/Kurnell Sand Dunes

Summary

Description: Hill training on Cronulla / Kurnell sand dunes.
Pros
- Nice location;
- Sea Breeze;
- Water bubbler at the start/finish; and
- Workout gym at car park.
Cons
- Popular / busy on weekends
Review
A great location for getting those hill runs in and building endurance and strength. There is a car park located out the back and to the north of Wanda surf club ideally situated with an exercise gym set (chin-up bar, sit-up bench etc) and water bubbler near by. Any hill work should be done after a decent warm up to avoid injuries and tears so I have mapped in a 4km warm up out along the access track to the sand mine and back before hitting the sand dunes. As a part 2 to this I’ll map out the Honeymoon track and Audley for some more Shire hill training. Enjoy.

(Tags: Mountain Biking, Running, Swimming)2007 Exercise Stats
As a means to keep me motivated for the year and to try and improve my training I thought it might be interesting to work out some stats (averages). It turns out that in 2007 I ran 536km’s, mountain biked 591km’s and swim 43km’s (or 860laps).
