Lindesfarne bay then south to bellerive and back.

Jon didn't seem to think that 12 degrees and gale force winds were enough of an excuse to not train. Obviously paddling was out so it was back on the bike again. So together we cycled from kingston up to fern-tree (via summer leas road) then towards neika for a bit on the pipeline, then we dropped back down to the bottom of summer leas via Westringia track, which until now I had only heard talk of.

For Jon it was a pretty slow climb but I am stoked I made it up to fern-tree . 47 mins to the junction of summer leas and huon road. It was sleeting from the saddle so we were both freeeeezing by the time we made the top.

Westringia track was steep and rocky at the top but then flattened out into some of the best single trail I've ridden around hobart - it was fun. On the one hand I wanted it to keep going, on the other my hands were numb and my legs were freezing so I was keen to get home!

Going to celebrate my achievements with the footy and ugg boots this afternoon.

incorporated jon's extra hill into my normal route.

Swim at aquatic centre. wondered why i felt so good as I didn't think I had swum for ages but then I remembered my recent swims at lane cove
