7 AM

Road Bike 2:05:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR

Out to Kumeu and back. Well that was substantially faster than last time!! But then again, I was actually trying on the way there (I cruised part of the way back behind some cyclists slightly slower than me). Awesome morning and feeling great. Why didn't my legs feel like this yesterday?!

9 AM

MTB (mtb) 2:20:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB

At the bike park with Owen. Not feeling too flash today or terribly confident but I survived and felt a bit better nearer the end. Managed a couple of good falls...one in particular that has added to my already impressive collection of bruises. But I really should stop having so many late nights (juxtaposed against so many early mornings to make it even worse!).

Road Bike 30:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR

To and from the gym. Heaps of people hanging around on K'Rd on my way there...Thursday must be a big night in town. Cycling back in heavier traffic than normal but survived.
6 AM

Peloton (Spin) class intervals 45:00 [4]
(injured) shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR

It was SO hot...not helped by being a full class! I sat down the whole time just to make sure I was protecting my foot and it felt fine most of the time except in the sprinting when the shoe pressed on it a bit every time I pulled my foot up. Tried not to take it too hard (which is difficult when you're sitting next to Rick) just in case but it was still a tough class.

Gym (arm weights and core) 30:00 [3]

Note
(injured)

Went to the physio this afternoon and had an xray on my foot. I would be rich for the number of times (which is admittedly only twice now) they've bet a million bucks that it will be a stress fracture and show up on the xray. Okay, official results of the xray still to come but after a quick look apparently nothing is showing up. Go back on Monday. Why is it that I hate the bike when that's all I'm allowed to do?!
6 AM

Road Bike 1:05:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR

Out to the cycleway and along to the inlet just before Lincoln Road and then back again along a slightly different route. Epic headwind heading west across the causeway...it was like biking up a steep hill! Good workout. I found as long as I mostly pressed with the inside of my left foot it was fine.

Note
(injured) (rest day)

Bummed I couldn't go to the night orienteering. We watched cheesy TV all night instead with the heater turned up as high as it would go! I swear if this wind keeps up we're going to loose the roof off our house (and the shed...some of the roof there has already gone!).

6 AM

Run 47:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6

From home with a similar route to Saturday only trying to avoid too much of the mud at Meola Reserve. Got as far as Coxs Bay before I had to stop. Started off just feeling quite stiff all over but at some point my left foot began to hurt a bit. I kept running but then it started hurting heaps so I stopped. Not good.

Walk 23:00 [1]
(injured) shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 6

Hobbling back from Coxs Bay. I'm counting it 'cause it was one hell of an effort! Didn't help that it was cold and raining!

Monday Sep 20, 2010 #

Road Bike 30:00 [2]
shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR

To and from the gym. Cruising and (mostly) getting all the good traffic lights.
6 AM

Peloton (Spin) class intervals 45:00 [5]
shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR

Jeepers I felt unfit today! Was a tough class for a start then everyone around me seemed to be spinning at a thousand miles per hour while I could only manage snail pace and then my stupid bruises from yesterday's crash off my mtb were hurting. Tragic!
6 PM

Climbing (indoor - TR) 2:00:00 [3]
shoes: Red Chili Spirit Lady

At Extreme Edge with Chris. We rocked! But I was absolutely dead by the end.
