| I haven't missed a Black Mtn effort for a couple of months now, but this one was a PB so deserves a blog. All my times this year have been in the 9.30 to 9.50 range. Nothing really special, but very consistent. Depends what I did the days before in training and how hard I had my tyres pumped up I guess.
I didn't pump the tyres up this morning. I think I had only about 90psi in them. But I got up the mountain in under 9.30 and that's only the second time I have done that.
Beautiful had a screamer today. 11.45 and a big PB. She has been in the 11.55-12.10 range over the last couple of months, so a big leap today. I can remember when my PB was 11.51, not that long ago. She is catching up fast.

| Ouch!! I've had achilles tendonitis for a few weeks now. Started crossy from Acton beach, got about 1.5km in and the elastic band in my ankle bit me. That hurt. Hobbled back to work and rode the bike home. No racing for a couple of months now. Icing and stretching have it back to OK managable again. Will do a jog tonight with Bella and Beautiful to test it. |

Sunday Mar 11 |
| Cycling race (TT debacle) 1:00:00 [5]40 km (1:30 / km) +100m 1:29 / km | |
| |
| Supposed to be a team time trial with beautiful. Plan was me to do down hill sections and swap over uphills 2min on/15sec off (me) 15sec on/2min off (beautiful). Stuffed it from the start. Me out of the saddle, clicking gears, beautiful not there. Watching, thought she was back on, down on the tt bars, starting ripping it. Thought I could see her shadow (it was mine, beautiful yelling to slow down but I couldn't hear). Looked back at 5km...no beautiful. Waited maybe 45 seconds until beautiful caught up, smiled, frown back, beautiful totally lactic. Took another 10km to get rid of lactic acid, then on fire for last lap. Only averaged 33.5kph over 35km. Still quicker than a babble ride, so nothing lost. |
