Training Log: Wally80

To work, not as cold as I expected so I had to stop and remove layers after 5 mins.

Absoloutely beautiful day for a paddle, high tide, no wind, lovely sun. Couldn't have asked for better.

I could have asked for a paddling shirt since after a fruitless earch of the car I ended up paddling in the cotton shirt I drove down in

Paddled from Mt Henry bridge upstream then return. I was tempted to shoot the weir on the return but there was really only a trickle flowing over, and a lot of bystanders to witness any failures.

The paddle itself was quite nice, I held a steady rythym the whol way with a few slow spots where it got shallow. The last km in the more open water was tough with the aqua bogans out in force.

Tempo-ish run from home. My calf tightened at the 5km mark again which took the edge of the rest of the run.

Headwinds when it is dark are more depressing than in daylight I think.

Speedy ride home with a few attempts to shake a persistent tail. legs felt good after not running all week.

I struggled to keep up in some of the rogher sections of the river due to my normal stability issues, the last time I lost contact I was near my car and figured the session was almost over so I bailed. The boys then continued for another full rep just to make me look bad I think.
