Training Log Archive: Bomb

Dan dragged me out for a night mtb ride at Gap Creek. Was quite fun, but took a while to get into the groove of night riding again. I always seem to start off looking straight down at my front wheel, and get surprised whenever I encounter a corner etc, but eventually let go of my death grip on the brakes and had some fun. Track was a bit washed out after all the rain last weekend which made a few spots quite interesting. and nearly ran over a little red-belly black snake (it was a bit of a warm day, but wtf was it doing out on a winter night?)
hit the wall big time on the climb back over mt coottha... lunch was at 11.30 so the tank had run very empty.

River loop with trolls. Felt pretty good riding this morning. kinda strange out, really foggy, but also really warm - didn't need any winter gear at all!
yummy breakfast at 16th.

yoga. took helen along, and was hoping for a good laugh, but she was actually pretty ok and got the hang of it really easily. feeling very sore after yesterday, so it was good to stretch out, and I'm glad todays session didn't have too many quad-burning poses!

smashfest this week. felt pretty good (but now know I won't tomorrow), but I guess thats what having a week of not training will do.
yuck moment when my finger started bleeding when I was doing chin-ups and dripped on me - ew!
