| Kayak from Oneroa to Onetangi and back. Might have started a bit fast, Heart rate dropped down until I was struggling to maintain 110 bpm. Sea also rough in places makes things hard, especially in my tippy boat. |

Thursday Aug 31 |
| Mountain Biking 1:59:55 [3] +835m | |
| ahr:130 max:160 slept:9.0 weight:77kg (injured) |
| MTB through Whakanaphu then around the street to make up 2 hours. Felt good fair bit of puffing on the hills though.
Went to the Physio today and my ankle is getting better, have me a wobble board and some more exercises to do. Didn't feel it on my ride and only a little on my run.
My sore Achilles is apparently not my Achilles, but some sort of lubricating fluid capsule that is aggravated. The capsule is between the tendon and the skin. Bit of a strange one because I don't feel it at all when I have bare feet but hurts bad when I put shoes on, especially running shoes. I think it was aggravated during the race when I was wearing tramping boots (at the time it felt like a blister). Apparently Justin Marshal had the same thing when the All Blacks changed their boot sponsor. He took to the boots with a knife and cut out part of the upper heal area. So guess what I've just done, cut up an old pair of trainers, and bingo no more pain. So now I can train at least until it fixes itself. |
| Running 9:52 [3] +60m | |
| ahr:136 max:149 slept:9.0 weight:77kg (injured) |
| Short run immediately after cycling to practice getting the legs moving after a transition. Felt good, but was a pretty easy ride and run. Should probably do this after a hard session to get the most benefit. |
