am: Raging easterly again this morning so I opted to do my round the river circuit through Vic Park, Curtin, Shelley, AppleX, Freo etc, rather than struggle out to Guildford with a headwind most of the way. The wind was whipping up some nice waves on the river near the Old Brewery, with bit of spray over the river wall, so I was glad I decided give Guildford a miss. Same story as last time I did this ride though - was stuffed by the time I got to the 60k mark from pushing into the wind. If anything the wind was stronger this time. Struggled a bit in the last few km and was really glad to get home :-)

am: Wembley Downs ride with an extension to the north as far as Brighton Rd. Not too bad, might make this the standard for this ride. Just depends on how much traffic there is on a week day.
Slow as a snail up Lemnos St into the raging easterly on the way home. bah.

pm: Pootling around in Kings Pk

.... then straight to the gym. Did a full session. The first for a while! Up to 7kg dumbells on the single-leg squats.

pm: Managed to squeeze in an evening ride. Down to Tawarri and back. Into a gale on the way out and hammering it with the wind on the way back!

am: Usual Tues ride down to Tawarri and back.

pm: Usual shite at SportsMed Subi. Actually didn't feel too bad tonight, just for a change.

am: In Kings Pk. Right groin started to become disagreeable after about 18 min. Ntb at the end but ntg either.
