STarted off ok until we got close to the turn off onto rocky plain rd. Its at this point Jen and i relaised we were in for a world of hurt with the huge croswind that was about to become a huge headwind.

The headwind was that bad that we had to pedal downhill to hold a speed of 28km/hr downhill.

Orienteering race (ACT Sprint) 21:24 [5] *** 3.1 km (6:54 / km)
spiked:13/16c slept:9.0 shoes: Asics Tribucoo 2008

Wasnt really worried about today's race. Couldnt be bothered even doing a warm up. Took off straight up a hill and i knew i was going to be in trouble. Lost some time near 4 and 9 but apart from that fairly clean.

Had a win in my new class M35A so pretty chuffed about that but the prize was the best. Will have to get it framed when i get back to Perth!!

Oh some how beat Tooms on the same course......

MTB (Majura pines) 1:18:00 [3] 12.3 km (6:20 / km)
ahr:146 max:179 slept:8.0 shoes: Specialized Epic Marathon Car

Went riding with tooms whilst jen did some other training. Felt very sluggish for first half of ride. Picked up a little once we started to ride the trails backwards.

Tooms and I couldn't convince jen to ride the switchbacks up the hill so off we went at normal pace until we saw Aaron dodd below us. I pushed as hard as i could to a: keep the gap from Aaron and b: force tooms into a mistake.

Nearly succeeded with b: with tooms stalling on some sharp corners but we definately achieved a: by putting daylight between Aaron and us.

Tooms and I raced the downhill section causing a school group to scatter except for a. Couple who looked like startled rabbits in the headlights. Woops!

MTB (Mt Stromlo) 1:15:00 [3] 18.0 km (4:10 / km)
ahr:151 max:179 shoes: Specialized Epic Marathon Car

Awesome day on the bike. The Mt Stromlo Loop 4 is a cracker with a full ascent of Stromlo. Plenty of stwitchbacks and technical sections. Thoroughly enjoyed myself out there today. Legs felt fresher than yesterday.

Poor Jen had a flat and Tooms tube was as holy as christ!! but we got Jen on the bike again though!!

Jen and John played ag in keeping me honest up front for most of the ride.

MTB (Majura pines) 1:06:00 [3] 12.0 km (5:30 / km)
ahr:127 max:163 shoes: Specialized Epic Marathon Car

Great area for mountain biking. The pine forest provides nice shelter and the soil allows the tyres to do their job properly not like wa's pea gravel. Struggled to keep up with jen at times but did manage to overtake her on a section of uphill switchbacks. Occasionally stopped to see if tooms hadn't been swallowed by the earth

6 PM

MTB (Physio screening) 1:00:00 [0]

Got roped into some extra training in the evening that Kay wS offering. Cathy the physio came in to check our strength, flexiblity and stability. John and I had a competition to see who was worse but I think we came out even! Prize went to the 6ft junior who had everything going wrong for him
