Training Log Archive: Vaala

With Michael up the hill in the hail. Feeling decidedly weird...

With Michael on the tandem over to Diamond Harbour (via Governers Bay) for a hot drink and back again (via Gebbies and the Basdrat). Good times...well, mostly (apart from the panic attack...sigh)!

Got my mtb back from the shop today. No clue as to what had happened to the back brake even though they took everything apart. Once it was back together again it seemed to work again. Hmmmm...
Anyway, then I rode it down to the park and back...all of about 200 metres! Felt kinda awful but should be able to manage a very gentle ride round Macleans Island as long as there are lots of stops and I do the wrist strapping thing.

Also, why does the weather forecast have to be so crappy for this weekend? We had such wonderful plans and now they have to be postponed :-(

Up the lava flow and down the zig zag into the hidden valley. Was okay and did help my head space.

From home over to Bowenvale and up through Vic Park, along the tops then down the zig zag and hidden valley to home. Had to cut out the last bush track and resort to the mtb track as the sun was setting and I knew I would be slow and useless on the descent. Made it down with just enough light. Everything was so slippery and scary so I'm glad I went in the daylight otherwise I'd have been even more wimpy!

Home from school with the big backpack then into the kitchen to cook. I need more time!!!!!

Home from school with the big backpack. Far too many lights to have to wait for which was annoying because you have to get into the flow again each time. Knocked 30 seconds off my last time and I was cruising today so perhaps I'm slowly getting back to this running thing.
