| Again a fun ride around the Vegas bike park. Forgot the free shuttle cards Mike gave me damn it. but went up No Brains for lunch. Bloody good track. Was very impressed Karyn rode it no problems. Gabby and Dodds are legends and I'd recommend anybody do the course. I still need to focus on not leaning back when I start to get scared or on sharp down hill breaking, but otherwise really loving getting some down hill speed back. Loved it a little too much on "Be Rude Not Too" When I tried peddaling and hit a root with it. Was on my arse before you could say "13 Hour rogaine". Don't think my hand is broken...just hurts. |

| After bike ride. Legs pretty tired and hammy felt like a big lump. Took a bit of warming up but eventually go into it and felt real good pushing it hard for the twenty min. Muscles sore but apart from that feeling good and running ok. |

| Mountain Biking 2:00:00 [2] | |

| Cruisy ride around Whirinaki Mountain bike loop. Its a Mingin forest and quite a cool track. Karyn taught me some of the skills she learnt on the course last week. Its exactly the tips I needed, I'd turned into a backwards leaning pussy on down hills. So worked on improving my body position and ended up cranking down the last massive big hill. Awesome. Muscles especially hammy still real sore, but went to Kerosene Creek afterwards and got a massage on the offending appendage. |

| Enjoying the nightlife in Rotovegas. Muscles sore and torn still from my first week of speedwork in a while. Particulary right hamstring and archilles but also hip flexors and that little muscle thing on the upper side bottom. As usual the right is worse than left. Cranking along on the run though. |

| Been a while since I did a decent training session by myself from home. Wasn't overly enthusiastic so left it till dark then ran around Rob's Maze. Wholey Moley Angela Joley he has made so many tracks its rediculous. I no longer wonder how long it would take to ride everysingle track in one session. Thats just fantasy talk. Not even Stu and Brent on some wacked out adventure racing training diet would be dumb enough to try riding all them at once.
Also did an uptempo climb from the gumboot gate and 10 accellerations at the top. |

| At work today (well it wasn't really work it was making Mountain bike tracks with Rob) my right hip clicked sideways a couple of times... searing pain, that sort of thing. Need to look after it a bit better...try and maintain some of the bazaire range of motion this joint is supposed to do but I never do. |
