| 8hr working week MTB at Yarramundi.
Wasn't really expecting much going into this having been sick recently. Just wanted a good hit out and not to destroy myself and get sick again. Packed and slow start because they chose a stoopid place to start from. Settled in and rode pretty solidly first 2 laps then backed it off a bit. Stuck to about 40mins laps. Course was a lot harder than i expected. Some really technical descents and lots of short punchy climbs which smashed your legs. Lapped Beth on my 5th lap (her 4th) and rode with her for a few kms. Ended up doing 4hrs and was feeling a bit shit with cough coming back. So stopped and spent the arvo drinking coffee watching the race and chatting with a few dudes. Got away before the storm. Good day. | ||

We also chucked Phils bike on the trainer with the SRM cranks and did a max power test. Got it to bout 960 watts but just couldnt crack the 1000. Then sat on 400 to see what it felt like, HR jumped up to 170 so it felt pretty shit. Cold didn't help but. | ||

Sunday Jul 6 | ||
| Cycling 3:30:00 [3] | |
| headed across the bridge, down along rose bay, vaucluse, south head, bondi to meet a mate, got a bit lost, 3 laps of cent. park, then twisted my way home.
Free wheel decided to shit itself 1/2 way through and turn into a fixie. Pulled it apart (well, Phil did) and we figured out what the problem is but are ratehr confused as to how it happened. | ||
Saturday Jul 5 | ||
| Cycling 2:45:00 [3] | |
| 2 laps manlyl dam with steve.
Definately improving technically and can ride more than i used to. The big wheels feel like they help. Can just throw my bike into stuff a bit more and it feels like it does the work for me. Chunky training wheels make it handle like more of a beast but when i chuck the race wheels back on she'll feel like a rocket! | ||
Friday Jul 4 | ||

| nice morning
| ||
| Cycling 45:00 [3] | |
| just cruised home. Took a few new routes too. Looking like bottom of Argyle st is going to be permanently blocked off which really stuffs me up. | ||
| Running 1:20:00 [3] | |
| Fairyland. bumbed into Glenn running down to the weir. Good group with glenn, fatrat, Jose and a guest appearance by stevie todkill.
Took the blue gum track back. Nicer way to get up the hill than the road. Felt pretty hungry and buggered by the end | ||

| Run to Lane cove pool. | ||
| Drills 5:00 [3] | |
| Secret Russian running drills. | ||
| C • What?!?!?! 2 | ||
| swimming 30:00 [3] | |
| Pool session with Ezy, Fatrat and J-Z.
Definately can't swim like i used to. Still good fun though. Did a 250m effort towards the end. Bit of a yarn in the spa before catching the express bus to city. Gotta love the Gore hill express! if it werent for the whole sweat factor it'd almost be quicker to run to lane cove and take the bus than the train. | ||
Tuesday Jul 1 | ||
| Running 1:05:00 [3] | |
| Stairs. ran from work. Didn't see anyone there so had to decide on my own session.
