Brisbane Running Festival 2011

Half-marathon run.

Brisbane this year suffered some of its worst flooding ever. And to repeat myself, the spirit and character of Queenslanders is typified by their resilience. They get knocked down but they get up again, and run around the river again.

The camera, like the runner, is still sleepy.

On 7 August 2011, I arrived to an almost deserted Brisbane about 0515h. The city’s streets of course were well lit and also well occupied by cars. I have no idea whose cars are parked in the CBD at this early time, but I am certain many of these cars are driven by early-bird runners. After doing a couple of laps around I found a spot on Edward Street about 300m from the botanic gardens, venue for the start and finish line. The gardens was still dark at 0530h but already the place was milling with runners, volunteers, and a couple of mobile coffee stalls. There is a newly installed flood marker  at the entrance to the gardens. This showed the flood levels of the 1974 and 2011 floods. The 2011 flood line was about waist height but not as high as the 1974 marker at about head height. I only saw this marker after the race. It quickly roused me from feeling totally buggered, to thinking of how truly frightening and devastating, are the forces wreaked by the fury of nature.  The high and mighty floodwaters have swamped these gardens only seven months ago. One could not imagine that, on that morning of the 20^th running of the Brisbane running festival.

The annual Brisbane running festival is a major running event. Many bemoan the fact that Brisbane does not have a proper marathon event but that may change. The run was staged around the botanical gardens and then along the southern banks of the beautiful Brisbane river.

The venue of the festival has shifted from southbank to the northbank at the Riverstage in the city botanical gardens.

The Brisbane river was at its roaring worst in January. I have mentioned the floods a few times now and will do so again, for the 1 in 100 year flood event, is just that – a 1:100 year occurrence. I may not see one again in my lifetime, but then again I may. The Brisbane river winds around about 50 kilometres of the City that bears its name. From Wivenhoe dam west of the D’Aguilar range to the sea on Moreton Bay, I have traversed much of the length of the river.

I ran the 10km run in this event last year. But this year I thought to have a go at the half-M. I got back from the gasfields 12 days before the runfest. In those 12 days I managed to sneak in a 10km run in the park2park, as well as a couple of 7km Wednesday runs with the bunyavilletrailrunners. I rounded off my 12-day preparation with a few short runs.

The start and finish lines were moved to the riverstage in the city botanical gardens.  The route of the Brisbane running festival includes a loop though the botanic gardens and across the river on Goodwill bridge. It then follows a good stretch of the southern banks of the river from West End through South Brisbane to Kangaroo Point. Along the section of the run route, there are seven bridges across the river. Four of these are for vehicles (The Go-between bridge, Captain Cook bridge, Victoria Bridge and Grey Street bridge), two for pedestrians (Kurilpa bridge and Goodwill bridge), and one for trains only (Grey Street bridge). I think the organisers are considering calling the Brisbane marathon ‘the seven bridges’ run. We can include Story bridge in place of the railway bridge.

Along the run route are many of the iconic spots in Brisbane. The start line is right next to the City Gardens café. The loop around inside City Gardens is about 2.11 km.

The course heads south through the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Gardens Point campus courtyard before going towards Goodwill Bridge. These places seem vaguely familiar. And I have a feeling of deja vu, like I may have been here before, one cool night in the past.

Once across the 700m bridge it enters the South Bank Grand Arbour (3.8km) and then joins the Clem Jones Promenade in Southbank Parklands going upstream. At Victoria Bridge it gets onto River Boardwalk through Kurilpa Park and on towards Riverside Drive. It then goes under the Go-Between Bridge and continues along through suburban streets and Davies park (7km) in West End, to a turning point in Orleigh Park in Hill End (9.6km).

From this upstream most point of the run, the route turns and goes all the way back to and past the Goodwill Bridge to Lower River Terrace (15km), then continues downstream towards Kangaroo Point. It goes past and under Captain Cook Bridge to the Kangaroo Point cliffs (16km) and on to Captain Burke park (17.7) under the Story Bridge. Again it turns around and heads back towards the Goodwill Bridge (20.5km). It turns right for one final little incline at the  Goodwill Bridge and then back towards the finish line at the lower section of Riverstage. The marathoners do two laps with a slight variation.

The race started at 0600h on the dot. Some 21.1km and 2:11 later I crossed the finish. I actually finished in a net time of 2^h08^m49^s, exactly 2’11” under 2^h11^m. I was feeling okay up to about 15 or 16km, when the lack of training told and I faded away from a 2-hour finish time.

Having said that, after two half-marathons, this is my second best time ever J (and I did a PB on my first half-marathon).

Thanks to the army of volunteers, race marshalls, and the secondary school students who make it possible for those of us to serve our penance, but that’s just speaking for myself.

And the winners are: All the runners.

a kenyan safari

This is a video blog of a safari to Kenya.
Yes I went to Kenya last month. I needed to do a lot of work - on my running, and I wanted to find out what made these great Kenyans run so fast. Maybe it's to do with chasing wildlife.

Maybe not. Maybe I lost my way. Maybe it's all the gas around. The gas-bagging...

Park2park 2011

Park2park fun run. Ipswich, Qld. 31 July  2011.

Parts of Ipswich suffered the worst effects of the devastating floods back in January this year. But the resilience of Queenslanders is typified by the attitude of the people of Ipswich. They get knocked down but they get up again. They run the park2park again.

The annual park2park fun run is a major running event in Ipswich. The last Sunday on the last day of July was the 7th running of the park2park. The run is staged around Limestone Park and Queens Park, up on the heights of Ipswich.

First, a big thank you to all race officials, SES volunteers and emergency service personnel. Also the water station masters and the secondary school students who chanted and cheered the runners on.

I come a few times each year to Ipswich mainly for work. On previous assignments here, I ventured to Emerald Hill heeding the call of Brassal; checked out Woodend with a friend; sauntered up the hills of the well-heeled in Springfield; strolled along the creeks of Brookwater golf course with no driver; glimpsed the river and leas of Karalee; lunched off a dam near Bundamba; drove the heights and downs of Karana; laughed to the banks of redbank; and saw many of the surrounding picturesque riches of Ipswich. The place has grown from a small provincial city to a bustling and growing centre with industrial and residential growth areas sprouting up all around. The nearby areas in Swanbank, and satellite precincts in Springfield and soon Ripley, all contribute to sustaining the future economic growth of Ipswich.  In 2007 Ipswich was voted the most liveable mid-size city (populations between 75,000 - 200,000) in the world.

On the last day of July 2011, runners arrived to a bright though quite cold and sleepy winter morning at the Bill Paterson Oval, venue for the start and finish line. The hardier half-marathoners started a lot earlier, in the still dark hour of 6 o’clock but they’re the serious runners. The 10km and 5km runners are the real funrunners, well most of us are, but that’s speaking strictly for myself. Earlier I looked around for a place to park for the 2011 park2park. This is my first time to run here. I quickly registered, collected a race bib, tied on the timing chip, and just as quickly rugged up again. Soon announcements for the countdown to the 10km run blared over the airwaves. Some runners warmed up with some fun zumba exercise.

We started off at 0800h. From the oval we raced out of the turfed grounds, to the southern bounds of the park. The course went anti-clockwise and uphill on Salisbury Street. Soon we got to the ridges on the lengthy Chermside Road. A couple of crossings intersected the rolling pathways on this eastern bound of the park.  Great views of Ipswich and its surroundings flitted in and out of the tree-lined route as we headed north. The route turned left, westerly and downhill at the northern bounds of the park on Brisbane Street. At the intersection of Limestone Street on Milford Street, the fun had all but gone as we turned south to a twisting turning and hilly obstacle course. The uphill stretch on Griffith Road between Queens Park and Limestone Park was painful. A drinks stop was set up along the way between a couple of testing hills. Then we came back to the start line completing a 5km loop. 

I stopped for a drink and a rest before I rejoined the 10km runners and ran around the course again. My split time at the 5km was not flash. I tried to keep up the same pace for the second lap, but barely managed a sub-30 min. My total race time (sub-60 minutes) for the 10km park2park, is on the slow side of my average over the past two years. I blame it on the hills, but realistically you can’t run a good run on a mere 5 days of training prior. Maybe I should run to and from the gasfields. It's only 300 km one way.

My time was just better than the average. Cold comfort indeed, but I had some warm breath left. I heard that the local member took part. Good onya Mr Parliamentarian. I hope you will work towards more healthy lifestyle initiatives in parliament. Such as legislating for prizes for everyone joining and finishing a fun run. A vote-getter right there. And a good incentive towards building healthy communities.

The festivities of the park2park came to life in the 5km run where 1000 people lined up to take part. The run is a family affair, but friends and work colleagues make up a great number of runners. Good to see.

And we'll do it again next year.

I was going to Injune in June, no July

But that got thwarted too. (Injune is a town in central Queensland, north of Roma).

A bit quiet on the western front...

To escape the chill of winter, put on some music. But keep your ears open, especially to sounds outside your taste or room - such as the music in nature.

Dvd

Leonard Cohen - Bird On A Wire (Tony Palmer, 2010) is a revelation of Cohen’s popularity in the 1970s. Rated as one of the better music documentaries, the music is good and the film an insightful portrait of the artist as a young man. In the final concert Cohen suffered a meltdown but returned to the stage to sing ‘So Long, Marianne’ in a performance which reduced everyone to tears. A great film. 40 years on, Cohen’s still out there touring.

CDs

Backed by his band, “The Hurtin' Albertans,” this album marks another step in the Canadian's career: an introduction to a wider audience.  In “A game in town like this.” He sings "Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win". The best way to win is not to lose. And if you don't gamble, you don't lose - you win. Well, as 'the crickets' say: just keep learning the game.

Feast of Wire is the fourth studio album by indie-rock band Calexico.

Old American Songs performed by Opera Australia soprano Taryn Fiebig and tenor Juan Jackson, showcases a variety of composers, including Stephen Foster, Aaron Copland, Kurt Weill and others.

Robert Shelton. No direction home. Updated edition.

JUST KIDS. Patti Smith remembers hanging out with Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Kristofferson and meeting Ginsberg and Dylan and other stars and poets of her day, and feeling “an inexplicable sense of kinship with these people.” She has now well and truly joined and transcended some of their ranks, fame and more. In dreams...

Magazines

Rolling Stone features Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu a musician from Elcho Island in the Northern Territory. Apparently Gurrumul kept playing the Dr Hook classic "Cover of the Rolling Stone" throughout the photo shoot. I bet he bought five (at least) copies for his mother. Good on you Gurru.

Uncut. Features the Allman brothers, and Paul Simon in another.

Mojo. Examines the works of Neil young.

June reading guide (for July)

If you're going to Injune in July.

Alex Ross. Listen to this. A book on music. Not the pop kind. Alex Ross is a music critic who can write about Mozart and Radiohead in the same breath. In his essays here he writes on classical music in China, Schubert, Sonic Youth, Verdi, Bob Dylan, Brahms, Bjork, etc.

Robert Shelton. No direction home. Updated edition. Published to coincide with Dylan's 70th birthday last May. Robert Shelton was a friend, champion, and critic of Bob Dylan. 20 years in the writing, this book, first published in 1986, was hailed as the definitive biography of Dylan. This is the only book, of more than a thousand, that has Dylan’s cooperation.

Simon Schama. The American future is American history from a different perspective. British-born Schama has spent time in the United States teaching at Harvard and Columbia. But his is still an outsider’s view, hence more detached and more objective.

Fred Pearce. Confessions of an eco sinner. Pearce confesses that his globe-trotting (including visits to brothels in Manila – check your thoughts) is not good for his carbon footprint. He should be forgiven for that though because – I agree with him - you don’t lighten your carbon footprint by sitting at home, reading his book. But after reading it, you may find yourself either more enlightened or more cynical like Pearce did, finding and questioning more accepted ethical truths. The book won the 2008 IVCA Clarion Award for Literature.

Scott Atran. Talking to the enemy. Atran attempts to answer the question, “Why do people believe in a cause, and why do some die and kill for it?”  He argues that the answer is that people don’t simply kill and die for a cause. They kill and die for each other. Atran, an anthropologist who studies, empathizes with, and analyses human behaviours, sets his book against the backdrop of human evolution and throughout the history of humanity.

Kinky Friedman. Meanwhile back at the ranch. Light entertainment. Shnay. 

Philip Roth. Nemesis. Life in the time of a polio epidemic.

Nelson DeMille. Night fall. A fiction about the 1996 TWA flight 800 plane crash being filmed on a supposed to be sex home-video. It climaxes (or anticlimaxes) with 9/11.

Rail Trail Fun Run 2011

Lowood-Fernvale Rail Trail Fun Run, Sunday 10 July 2011.
The annual rail trail fun run has become a major event. Last Sunday 10th July was the ninth running of the rail trail. The run went from Lowood to Fernvale this year. Much of the rail trail near Lowood is alongside the road to Fernvale right next to the Brisbane river. The rail trail is open for horse riding, cycling, walking and running. The gravel trail is compacted and maintained for the purpose. Cars are not allowed.

Back in January this year during the floods (January 2011 Floods), virtually all the rail trail went underwater. Keef, a fellow coolrunner, posted photos of the river:

And from today, 6 months on from the floods in January.

Lowood and Fernvale are in the Somerset region in southeast Queensland, within 45-90 minutes from Brisbane.  Many lakes and towns of this valley of lakes are visible from the air on the flight line to Chinchilla. One cannot miss the sprawling Lake Wivenhoe and the rivers and creeks winding towards it from all directions. This lake/dam and other lakes/dams are great places for recreational activities such as fishing and water sports.

Prior to European settlement, the landscape and resources of the Fernvale-Lowood district were used and protected by the indigenous Jagera, Yuggera and Ugarapul peoples. Much of the sustainable balance between land and humans is owed to the stewardship by the traditional owners. This Aboriginal principle of land management is hopefully practised in present times.

Heading westerly, past the towns of Esk and Toogoolawah, the rolling hills and state forests come into view, followed by the green forests and Blackbutt hills of the great dividing range.

I have traipsed these parts before, sometimes for work, other times for recreation. In recent times, I worked in Fernvale, Tarampa, Toogoolawah and Blackbutt (yearning for home) in the South Burnett just on the northwest of somerset. And whenever I get the chance, I would drive past Wivenhoe dam and zigzag west-to-east up the D’Aguilar national park to Mt Glorious and then Mt Nebo or down to Samford valley.

Aside from the lakes, somerset region boasts of vineyards national parks, and country homesteads, that offer something different to city lifestyles. A feature of this area is the rail trails joining many small country towns. These rail trails provide a unique thrill and travelling experience which road travel does not.

The rail trail is a remnant of the original railway line that used to transport stock and farm and timber products to markets in Brisbane. The railway line ceased in 1989 and the corridor is now a recreational trail. The 8km section between Lowood and Fernvale is just a short segment of the 148km Brisbane valley rail trail (the longest in Australia) set for completion in 2012.

A bright and not too cold (but cold enough) winter morning greeted runners arriving in the Lowood high school. Earlier I had driven to Fernvale where the race finishes, and caught a bus here to Lowood, venue for the race start.

The landmark of the high school building looked familiar to me. It reminded me that I did run last year’s run rail trail fun run 2010.

I reconnoitered around to the oval at the back of the stadium where some beautiful gum trees offered shade and protection. 

 The crowd slowly grew in number as buses kept bringing more and more runners every few minutes. 

I believe the total topped 900 this year which is again a new record.

We started off at about 0900h. From the school oval we raced across 300m of the grassed athletic grounds, where our running balance was tested by grooves criss-crossing the turf. I almost rolled an ankle once or twice. We then got on 200m or so of bitumen before we hit the rail trail. From the trail we get great views of the Brisbane river on our left hand side as we ran east to Fernvale.

We ran the rail trail for about 2.5kms along the base of the Lowood hills. And for 15 long minutes I was literally eating the dust stirred and churned up by the many runners ahead of me. I was thinking if only i can turn the tables on these hare-like humans. Suddenly the dust wasn’t there. I looked up and around thinking a miracle occurred and that I had got to the front of the race.  We had deviated from the dusty gravel of the trail and had got back on the tar of old fernvale road. The dust may have dissipated but now the hard slog had come. This stretch of testing bitumen is about 3kms. I was surprised by the change in the route, perhaps caused by repairs to flood-damaged sections of the rail trail. The bitumen was starting to heat up in the mid-morning and a slight but lengthy incline started to take toll on the legs.

We rejoined the dirt trail for the final 2km of the race. I dutifully laboured the hard yards, in my place at the tail end of the run rubber band, in the final quarter of the race all the way to the finish.

Soon as I crossed the line I went straight down to the ground in a dizzy fit. A few seconds later I was breathing again, and managed to feel delight at finishing. 

Keef sidled up and I shook his hand. He hardly raised a sweat. He started from the back of the pack with his lovely wife, but quickly made it to the front end within the first kilometre. Keef kindly paced me for a bit, before I told him to go for it. He did and showed some of the young guns how it’s done.

The rail trail run is a family affair. There is a shorter 3km race part of the fun run. And at the finish line, kids have various fun and games activities to participate in.
