cycling 50:00 [3]
lovely and calm again.
cycling 15:00 [3]
left work late just as the drizzle was turning into rain. Was underdressed and soaked by the casino so decided to stop in at the St Canice Ave Bike-For-Car exchange centre (mum and dads) and pick up a car to drive the rest of the way home.

DErby Derby Derby!!! v. fun even though I was a bit rusty and had a small meltdown on the big descent due to overly scary berm corners.

Running 40:00 [3]
waterworks. I'd describe it as sluggish, but that would actually be very insulting to slugs in this instance.

uneventful, and nicely calm. A road cyclist did come past me while chatting on his mobile phone.

cycling 50:00 [3]
cycle home. bit of a headwind but that wasn't as annoying as the truck that overtook me in car-door alley in lower sandybay, leaving the width of a toothbrush between us.
then later going up the bonnet, two cyclists ahead of me (the same two Clare shamed the previous week) got beeped by a LEARNER driver who didn't think they should be allowed to ride side by side. tool.

I might have just made it in 50 minutes despite a reasonable headwind. I found the perfect person (big guy) to quietly draft off coming into Taroona but he must have smelt me as he blasted up a little pinch and I couldn't catch him again - dammit! then as I was retelling this incident at work it turns out that he's the husband of someone who works here! ha! AND he apparently has a little mirror on his handlebars so he probably saw me before he smelt me.
cycling 50:00 [3]
bloody headwinds. I knew when the temperature dropped 5 degrees in 5 minutes in the afternoon that I was in for a southerly. Battled it out by myself until taroona then hitched a draft with a road cyclist until the shot tower when the slight change in gradient saw me crash off his tail.
Good to complete the double-double (double commute, two days in a row)

National Ride to Work Day. LOTS of cyclists in every direction. we caught and passed a big slow dude with very muscly legs on a mountain bike. Which caused him such angst he came flying back past and then towed us to the casino. Thank's for the ride Angsty MTB Dude!
cycling 50:00 [3]
straightforward ride home. Have told Clare to take the day off cycling tomorrow to re-align her charkras which are obviously way out of whack.

cycling 2:00 [3]
commute to work, cut short when Clare faceplanted into a park bench . Her face is ok. Brain a bit shaken up.

beautiful morning to ride in. left at 7.10 and it was very quiet on the roads. last day of school holiday riding conditions!

Freezing cold this morning including a frost - brr!! Then a slight headwind. steady pace though.
cycling 50:00 [3]
commute home - turns out clare has a club foot, collapsed lung and dislocated knee (pretty much), so we left the roadies alone today.

cycling 50:00 [3]
windy ride in, luckily I had my windbreaker in place.
cycling 50:00 [3]
commute home. no tail wind but swirly headwind was shielded by Clare so made decent time.
Got overtaken by a pair of road cyclists on a slight downhill before souicide bend. Because Clare drives a hard pace-train we had them in our sights again shortly after the start of the climb. By the top of the bonnet they were crying into their tri-bars as clare was showing them the back of her clunky commuter girl bike.

Orienteering 57:51 [3]
super happy with slow, but technically good race. Don't recon I lost much time at all. Had absolutely nothing left for last 1/3 of race - dragged my arse into the finish but stoked I didn't lose extra time on the navigation which would have easily been possible. Aided by Clare's run (50, including 6 mins mistakes), we would have been 2nd in W20e. good on us. and of course we all punched correctly so we won our class.

Orienteering 1:07:00 [3]
Long Champs. It was hot (but I was early so I didn't suffer nearly as much as the late starters), and I felt weary and slow from the get-go. on the long track leg I daydreamed instead of taking a right hand turn so went the long way around a hill, and near the end I wasted minutes a) finding the track, then b) running on it the wrong way. was just tired. surprised to be 5th!

Orienteering 14:40 [3]
sprint champs - very fun run around St Pats including inside some buildings which had me confused to begin with (although if I'd read the information I would have known). No significant mistakes but kept speed pretty low (be necessity).
