| the knee really isnt 100% yet but i needed to do something and its been ages since some ints. if im going to do the amount of running in NZ im planning to i at least need to get my arse off the bike and into some running shoes!
1/2/3/2/3/2/1 on 50% recovery. survived the session pretty well. did start out more conservatively than i normally would tho. gorgeous evening. and pizzas at debacle with the canberra-kozzie crew from last weekend to top it off. | ||

| Cycling 1:55:00 [3] | |
| couldnt handle a saturday night cycling for most of it so i thought id cruise over to majura and check out other people doing just that. round lake, war memorial, campbell park, hackett hill then rode last bit of the course.
saw some of the girls team waiting for shannon to come in and fel to go out. on the way back i saw fel tearing up the single track so rode with her for a wee bit then ducked off home. nice to get out for a night ride. time for a movie and steak on the couch! | ||

| Cycling 55:00 [4] | |
| Well, had my last undergraduate lecture yesterday. bit emotional, so i gave my lecturer a hug. my friends reckon i boxed her into it but i maintain it was mutual. had a ripper arvo in the uni beer garden and then dinner to celebrate my bro's 18th, what a busy day!
pretty frustrated with myself about how lazy ive been this week, even with my knee not being 100%. found an old civic pool pass with a few swims left so thought id go for a dip. jumped on the bike and pumped it round the lake taking all the dirt options i know. ive got a pretty good loop where you can mostly avoid the bike paths. speaking of bike paths, those two wooden poles missing between the road and bike path coming off the north side of comm bridge have been replaced by freshies. bastards! getting through that gap was a key part of my (and many others) commute. anyone got a spare chainsaw? | ||
| swimming 40:00 [3] | |
| geez, been a while since ive swam. Dont think ive even busted out a decent session since getting back from Swe. it showed.
felt like a less than elegant beached whale flapping around. probably wasnt quite that bad but musceles were defo hurting i didnt know existed. did a 500m time trial in the middle. a 9:30 when i used to swim comfortably under 8mins was a pretty reasonable indication of my form today. still enjoyed it and cant wait to get our pool in action. bring on summer! | ||
Wednesday Oct 24 | ||
| Cycling 1:15:00 [3] | |
| was planning on doing tour de gus but knee and legs felt so schizer once i got riding that not even a gus's espresso would have got me round. instead grabbed the ipod and rode round the lake plus up pleasant hill.
feel like i need some down time. will prob be a quite couple o weeks with exams coming up soon. then summer holidays!! | ||
Sunday Oct 21 | ||
| Cycling 9:30:00 [3]95 km (6:00 / km) | |
| bloody hell, what an epic. started at about 830pm from kiandra with barto and mostly followed the alpine walking trail. the night rider light did us proud yet again and made riding heaps easier. lots of sections were pretty physical with corrogations, worn trails and constant up and downs taking their toll.
Organisers had 15hrs down for this stage but i defo didnt think it would take that long nor did i want to be out for that long. About 1am i started bonking massively and had a few really miserable hours trying to drag myself along. down towards Mt Jagungal the track was getting tough to ride and we were both fatiguing. there were lots of uphill bits aftermidnight we were walking cos the track was too shit/steep. creek crossings began about 2am. tried keeping feet dry but resigned ourselves to wet feet and rode straight across most of them. light ran out just after 3am when i was really in the hurt box. put the back up on and begged for sunrise. after valentines hut at about 6am things got much better. just had to cruise up to schlink pass (1800m) and then it was 90mins mostly solid downhill to island bend. planned to run up to koszi in the arvo but id taken a stack and rooted my knee. still pretty painful, hopefully comes good 2moro. pretty tough weekend, happy to get through. | ||

Saturday Oct 20 | ||
| Cycling 2:45:00 [3]55 km (3:00 / km) | |
| A mate from ANU mountaineering club organised a canberra -koszi 'race' this weekend. tried to get other unis to get involved but they all pulled out at the last minute. stages were ANU to orroral 65km ride, orroral-pocket saddle 28km trek, pocket saddle-kiandra 55km mtb, kiandra-guthega 95km mtb, guthega -charlottes pass ride and run to the top.
I did the 55km mtb to kiandra and the epic ride to guthega back to back. spent most of saturday bum scratching waiting for the first dudes to come in who took heaps longer than we expected. the first ride was cruisey as. nice tracks round across coolomine plains before a boring 19km sealed section along snowy mtns highway. the dude i was with wanted to admire the brumbies and scenery the whole time but i just wanted to get the thing done before dark and get going on the long ride which was gonna talk all night, so i kept the pace pretty solid. | ||

| (rest day) | ||

Saturday Oct 13 | ||
| Cycling 5:12:00 [3] | |
| Scott 24hr with kez, jules, shep, fel and mace.
was originally riding 5th (about 3pm) so decided to do ride the blue lap before the start. good to see the lap but ended up riding 2nd instead so prolly the legs could have done without it. jules had a blinder and put me out 2nd. nice clear track and could just go apeshit for a lap, the beauty of being in a 6. did 38 on the red, fastest was 32, so not too bad. next lap was a night double about 730. was riding real bad on the first lap. lights werent quite adjusted right and i just didnt have it together. mainly just wanted to get through ok and save something for the later laps. 2nd night lap was a bit better. jules and i got the 2:30-5:30 dog shift. this was my best lap of the race i reckon. rode 41 on the red, felt great and pushed really hard. seeing so many stuffed riders made me go even harder. had 40 mins off while jules did a lap then i did a 42mins just on dusk. quick shower and got a bit of much needed rest and breaky. last lap was a bluey at about 10am. the legs felt pretty good but arms were struggling. got round OK tho in about 45 maybe. cracker race and we had came 4th in the mixed 6 category! no mean feat. | ||
Friday Oct 12 | ||
| Cycling 44:00 [3] | |
| thought i better do a lap of the 24 course for the weekend. wass gonna do both but wasnt a fantastic arvo so chose the hillier and more technical red loop.
rode solidly without working too hard. no traffic defo helps, wont be so easy 2moro. the descent down the mtn is wild, so smooth, so fast, there are gonna be so many stacks! haha gave the bike a good polish after to have it raring to go. Go team SUB ZERO! | ||

| Event: Yellow Sub POP Party | ||
| Orienteering 2:20:00 [3] | |
| classic, another rubbish run. hooked up with tom at towards the end and we stumbled round like drunken old men rambling every bit of swedish we knew at each other. good times! | ||
| Cycling (andy hill ride) 25:00 [3] | |
Friday Oct 5 | ||
| Orienteering race 16:20 [4] | |
| oceania sprint.
pretty happy with run except for a big mistake at 12. basically just had a brain implosion and lost the plot, 2:05 on about a 25second leg, not good. I blame my 1 minute man devil for not correcting this mistake sooner! great area and fun courses by frogga. had a relaxed arvo BBQ with a wad of people at uni. | ||
| Orienteering warm up/down 15:00 [3] | |
Wednesday Oct 3 | ||
| Event: Oceania Beer-O champs 2007 | ||
| Cycling 2:30:00 [3] | |
| tour de gus. made my debut, cant believe ive had so many excuses its taken me this long do this ride.
knew i was gonna get dropped like 3rd period french coming out of cotter (even at a moderate pace) so just found a rhythm and cruised up the hill. felt rather flat overall but great start to the day. | ||
| Orienteering race 15:00 [3] | |
| a rather disappointing performance in the oceania beer-o champs.
just didnt happend from the get go. drank the first one WAY to fast, ran the wrong way to the first control and then really struggled drinking. had a cheeky chunder during the 3rd beer and a decent tussle with smithie over the last few loops. good fun though and a good night out. | ||
Tuesday Oct 2 | ||
| Note | |
| (rest day) | ||
| felt pretty rubbish today and had a big assignment to start and finish so just had a quiet one.
even commuting to uni was a struggle, hope i feel better for the beer-O 2moro. | ||
Monday Oct 1 | ||
| Orienteering race 52:00 [3] | |
| another day....another crappy run. nuff said | ||
| Cycling 1:40:00 [3] | |
| rode back from honeysuckle with BJ. wind was blowing all over the show.
im not too proud to admit i was shitting myself descending from honeysuckle. riding at 60-75km/h with crosswinds blowing you across the road isnt the recipe for a relaxing descent. nice enough ride apart from that. | ||
