(rest day)
Followed my better senses and decided not to go to the gym
So left leg is feeling a little better but there is the occasional feeling of a sharp object being stuck into it every now and again and associated pain.
Also managed to locate spot for foot issues now it's not the ankle definitely foot - area is slightly in front of ankle, inner side of foot, in line with arch, not quite top or side. (If you follow that well done)

ahr:133 max:156 shoes: Giro Privateer
First few pedal strokes my right foot was very painful - some serious concern there. Decided would go via the park to let Tash know I wasnt coming anymore - however by the time I got to May drive foot was feeling fine decided to see how I felt by the time I was home.
Took it easy the rest of the way.

Orienteering (Foot-O training) 44:22 [3] 5.86 km (7:34 / km) +84m 7:04 / km
ahr:147 max:160 shoes: ASICS GEL - Nimbus 17
So clearly decided to go to the foot-o training
Really wanted to test foot at a jog pace before rogaine next weekend. Expected to go slow the whole way. Right foot was twinging for first 5 minutes then it became fine.
However at about the 15 minute mark I had a twinge in my left calve Instantly stopped and tried to walk it out and stretch it. Wasnt sure if ti was a cramp coming or something more significant. almost opted to call ti a day but really didnt want to so went to a shuffle pace and walking for most of the rest of the course.
Really enjoyed being out there so thanks to Tash for setting.
Poor lady at the end had a busted radiator felt sorry for her.
By the time I came home and got out of car my left calf was quite bad and as was my right foot - starting to regret having gone for run now. Not quite sure which is wrong with either. Im going to compress and elevate these and hope it helps.
Hoping all will be better soon - might consider rest day tomorrow too.

Legs day was good
good session - had to change order because of machine availability - 3rd superset went 1st. that made a few things harder. otherwise good just slow. foot was fine for everything except end of squats when I felt it a tiny bit. only negative was that it took a little while to get my head in the zone this morning.
Post gym / start of ride found my right lower back/upper glute was not great - and thinking back might associate this to some sloppy form rushing about.
Thinking I might change it to either remove the cable work or put them in a super set by themselves just for speed.
Felt the session was slow even though it was 5 mins faster than last week.

A few spots pulling and causing some grief so resulted in me just taking it easy #plodpace
Gave it a little down aberdare to see if I could stretch it out and that seemed to help a bit but lack of energy = that spurt was short lived.
Otherwise pretty slow uneventful ride.

Traffic lights galore - annoying...
interestingly and sadly my right side seems to be systematically failing - right foot, right shin and right lower back/glute all feeling the straight at the start of this ride.
I think I might also take to the river getting sick of starting on mount when im tired!

good session - probably 5 mins wasted.
missing weights are annoying need more between 10-20kg dbs. they have 3 x every weight below 10kg then jump to 2.5kg increments and 1 db of each. so if 12.5 is being used your going to 15 or 10. feel like they should have 1kg increments to 20.
light on tripple press early (missing weights) but good from mid sets onwards. definite gains much more comfortable this week.

Was feeling pretty good so went hard on a few segments.
Had a crack at may drive but apparently not as good as I thought I was and imploded shortly after starting - decided to push all the way even though ti was a lost cause - but more for training benefit.
Clearly muscles a tad fatigued - I would guess its not going to be until low/rest week in a few weeks time that they level out again.

Note
Also think right foot/ankle issue is caused by decleating and agrovated by gym - possibly the other way around but given it tweaked the exact spot twice on way home So I'm blaming the cleat

Gym (Back / Tri / Core) 1:14:08 [3]
ahr:119 max:158 shoes: ASICS GEL - Nimbus 17
Really good session - increased weights in the appropriate areas to level it out nicely - probably hold steady next week.
Moved pretty efficiently through the equipment - gym wasnt overly busy - so back doing it at pace - would be nice to bring it down another 5 mins if possible.
Something certainly wrong with right foot from last week - not sure what yet - will monitor through this week and hopefully it gets better rather than worse. Only calve raises and 45deg bench press is the ones I could think would cause issues.

Paddling (Shelley Bridge Upstream) 1:40:25 [3] 9.98 km (10:04 / km) +5m 10:02 / km
ahr:129 max:155
Paul came over for a paddle - surprised me as I thought he was coming at 10 and was there at 930 - he thought he was running late ha!
Quickly sorted myself post gym and got car loaded and headed to shelley bridge.
Conditions were ideal - was so nice paddling in this section of rover - was all protected and felt like there was not even in Perth. was really very nice - thought it would be nice for kayak orienteering/rogaining too. I needed to wait a bit at kent st weir to get blood into legs and then we pushed on up stream a bit further.
Gave Paul a small race before the turnaround point but he kicked my ass hard - no massive surprise there.
Came back to kent st - almost took a dip because I underestimated my legs when i got out. nose handle broke - annoying but we managed. Nice cruise downstream - felt it went a lot quicker but apparently it was exactly the same. surprising!
Shelley bridge ramp is like a gross swamp of sludge - will remember this for next time. Loaded up and home bound.
Was a nice cruisey paddle with Paul - followed by a BBQ where I managed to fuck up two of the elements and one fo those was the steaks / #bugga.

Forgot to add - feet sunburnt damn it also a bit sore during paddle post the gym but I think tomorrow's session will be significantly harder because of it
