Running 1:07:10 10.05 km (6:41 / km) +12m 6:39 / km
ahr:115 max:157 shoes: Solar Glide Blue
Thought I would try to head out with Rachel for 2 or 3 km and then walk back. It was a real struggle to get moving but felt alright after a couple of km so I kept going. Got a bit sore after the turn but didn't get any worse so made it back ok.

Tennis 1:00:00 [1]
Hit with Liam. Had some good forehand rallies but I still can't learn to prepare early enough to deal with anything hit hard to my backhand.
Mitch was running his fitness testing sessions and they had the radar out measuring groundstroke speeds which made me curious about Liam's so I got my radar out and tried to measure some of his. Measured one forehand at 126km/h but I'm sure he hits it a fair bit harder than that at times.
Liam also wanted to try some serves as it had been a while since we have measured that. After a few warm ups the first serve we measured properly was 150km/h which is a fair step up from his previous best. He didn't manage to better that but was consistently in the 140s. Not bad considering he hasn't been able to serve for the last couple of months due to injury.

Start Swamp Metro.
Route wasn't too bad but Hadrien went mostly the same way and I couldn't quite match his pace. Got a little gap early with a better choice of second control but he caught up and edged away. Made different choices for an out and back control (126 for me, 108 for him) but not much in it. I was starting to pull back a second or two each leg towards the end but didn't get close enough to be worth sprinting so came in 24 seconds behind.

Training at Christmas tree creek.
Started with a few hill reps to warm up followed by a traffic lights course. Course was quite easy so I was sometimes struggling to work out when to slow down and never really got into a good routine of reading descriptions and working out exactly what the control was on. I think I must have looked at the circle for 1 when heading into 2.

Snapped the crank axle on my bike on the way back to work after lunch. So much power.

O training at Perry Lakes. 45min score event with a focus on planning exit before getting to each control. Sarah said it was about 8km to get them all which I thought should be just manageable for me. Decided to start around the flat so I could warm up a bit before hitting the hills. Started quite slowly, took a while to get going and never felt good so I wasn't surprised I had to push hard to make it back in time. I was a bit surprised when I checked the distance and found I had done over 9km at under 5 min/km.
WAMC intervals were on at the same time so I went over and had a brief chat to JK who is still doing the coaching after more than 20 years.
