| Event: Victorian Long Distance Championships | ||
| Run long 2:04:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Brooks Trance | ||
| Long run with Damon, Robbie and Andy.
Cruisy at times and solid towards the end. From Preston Palace on Fig Tree loop. Ankle/foot still taped, feels ingood, in fact it feels like I can use my ankle and calf to help run. Think I need to look in to some more long term strategies of supporting my arch. | ||

| Cycling long 3:08:00 [3] | |

| Long ride, by self having not been able to catch up with Dari.
Rode out to West Head and back. Kept effort pretty high the whole way, was smashed by end. | ||
Friday Oct 19 | ||
| Run 1:30:00 [3] | |
| Long night run by self. Wanted to run up to Thornleigh to check out a bikeshop so did a bit of exploring via Pennant Hills Park.
run hurt as it was the first long run i have done in a while, almost first run really. Had my ankle and foot taped up (to support arch - thanks Izzy!). Felt pretty good, ankle didnt really hurt at all although I certainly got tired, as did my ankle after an hour. | ||

| Note | |
| going to run with Robbie but he couldnt wait. So I didnt run at all, which is probably not a bad thing since my ankle is quite sore, even to walk, from yesterday. | ||
Wednesday Oct 17 | ||
| Summer Series race 46:00 [3]** | |
| shoes: Brooks Racer ST | ||
| Meadowbank
Caught up with Robbie at the rego and we started together. Fairly casual effort and apart from the slight ankle pain, and hip pain i felt quite good. We really didnt run too hard though and Robbie was a goose at the end by not following, so i beat him by 20 points - tho a few people beat me on the day. Posted my account of the bike accident (Oct 5th) | ||

| Cycling (commute) 1:20:00 [4] | |
| Commute to and from work.
To work was with Phil, he showed me the way. Its actually quite a good ride into uni, few ups and downs though overall mainly down. Not too much traffic and fairly direct. Phil set a fairly punishing pace for me and up the last road into uni (East St) he dropped me. He was doing over 45ks uphill with a strong hindwind (apparently holding over 450 Watts!). From work was also punishing, though left uni before Phil (rare). Passed this guy on a nice Eddy Mercyx across Ryde pedestrian bridge. Only he didnt like it and passed me back then he punished me up some hills. After hurting me he slowed for a chat, an A grader in good form from South Africa living in Epping commute daily to work in the city. Hope to see him again, nice chap. | ||

| Cycling (Max Test) 35:00 [5] | |
| Submax and Max Test for a uni study I will start in a couple of weeks. Mainly to take ECG for medical clearance.
Managed to hit something like 420 Watts (pretty much protocol determined). More importantly max was a disappointing 67.3 ml/kg.min, power at VO2max was 338 I think. Worst test (though not by too far) I can ever remember. Admittedly bike gives lower results unless thats all you do, but shows how much i've lost last few weeks and this year generally. Time to train. Hip was fine. | ||
