MTB 3:10:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB
Excellent fun with everyone up Rapaki, along Witch Hill, Castle Rock, dodgy rockfall summit Rd, Mt Pleasant, Greenwood Park and down Captain Thomas with a very thirsty, hungry blast round the road back to Fava afterwards. Riding really well today but by the time we got to Captain Thomas I was really struggling to hold the brakes. It was like my hand was giving up. Oh well, still made it down okay :-)

Road Bike 9:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Louis Garneau Revo XR
Tried to go out on the tandem with M and Tane (obviously he wasn't on the tandem too otherwise that could have been amusing!) but we got partway up Hackthorne Rd and got a puncture on the back wheel which is an absolute mission to fix so abandoned that which was very tragic :-(
4 PM
MTB 2:00:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Louis Garneau Monte Rosa MTB
Up the C2 and Kennedy's then down the 4wd in Vic Park with M. Got a good 3/4 of the way up the final steep bit on Kennedy's before bailing early in the rocks. Much better than I expected I'd be (yep, I think I will be able to get all the way up no worries in a couple of months or so) but it was tough work on the wrist getting up over all the bumps so it was very tired on the downhill.

Run 1:37:20 [3]
(injured) shoes: Mizuno Wave Ascend 8
Solved my total price function and another SQL mystery so figured I deserved a break in the sunshine! From Bowenvale up through Vic Park, along the tops and all that jazz including the longer way up Mt Vernon then down through the valley. Legs are feeling jaded funnily enough but otherwise I was fine until fairly horrible 'girl' pain decided to hit just before the descent. Had to stop a few times on the way down and die slowly by the side of the track!

Quick ride up Rapaki and Mt Vernon and down Huntsbury/Major Aiken before heading into class. Feeling kinda unfit uphill riding-wise.

(injured) shoes: Inov-8 Flyroc 310 (grey)
Wednesday night hummus run up Huntsbury and Mt Vernon, partway down the valley then down Montgomery Spur, dodging the grumpy cows. Walked back with Emily from the bottom of Rapaki as her ankle was unhappy.

Tandeming out to Old Tai Tapu Rd and a bit of a warmup before we started.

On the tandem with M. Headwinds on the way out which felt tough but quite speedy on the way back, averaging about 42-44 km/hr. Just 1 second away from breaking into the 24s!! I felt shattered afterwards.

Note
Had my specialist appointment today followed by buying sugary treats to console myself. He's decided on the conservative approach which is do nothing and he'll see me again in 6 months. I got the distinct impression he didn't really know what, if anything could be done. Taking out the plate could quite possibly make it just the same, if not worse. Was about what I suspected. I think basically, if the pain becomes unbearable and I can't deal with it like it is then he might try something but otherwise he will probably just leave it as is. Although I may have misinterpreted the whole thing...? Perhaps I should ask M what he got out of it!
7 PM
Walk 54:00 [2]
(injured) shoes: Mizuno Wave Nirvana 7 (blue)
Good times stomach pain. Did make it out for a walk though which was about the most I could do.
