Out to Tai Tapu and back with Phil. Knee was good.

Around and about Mt Albert and its streets. Knee got sore after about 15 mins.

Out for a ride with Phil. Up Rapaki, along Goat track and down through Vic Park by headlight. Fairly dry considering the late morning downpour. ITB started to get sore at about 1:05.

While reading my book. ITB seems a little better after physio manipulation. Won't try and do too much this week.

Captain cooks landing. Run as much as I could till the ITb pain kicked in, then caught up with Fiona and walked the rest. T''was pissing down for most of it but not too cold. Chris Morrisey had a blinder in shit conditions winning in 2:02. Looking forward to plenty of pain from my massuese on Wed, hopefully will sort my ITB.

C • ITB 5

Woodend OY DNF. Got as far as #13 then my ITB got real sore so had to walk home from the southern end of the map! Ran for 43mins, then was walking. Was having a relatively good run in the dunes so a damn shame. Back to stretching and strengthening for me. I blame Greig for breaking me yesterday.

A nice ride in the hills with Greig and our shiny new bikes! Not so shiny by the end as there was still plenty of mud about. Rode up K Bush Rd, along to Worsley's, down to SoK(they've added some great new bits on this section!), thru Vic Pk to Bowenvale, round to Rapaki, up that, along the Goat track and back down via Vic Park and Dyers pass Rd. Back home discovered I've already buckled the back wheel on the second ride so might need to take it back to the shop. The sun's out and it's warm which is unusual based on the last couple of snowfilled Saturdays!

From home to Rapaki, part way up with a dead headtorch, turned around while I could still see. Once on the tarmac the lamp flickered so I figured it was a dodgy connection, fixed that then rode back up to flat middle bit. Enjoyed the ride down on my new bike. Gotta love that full sus!

C • What did you get? We'll ha... 2

Round Hagley with Rob and his training buddies. No stride outs for me, knee felt fine till last 5 min. Happy with that.

Just round and about on the dark streets of barrington testing my knee. Fi warned me not to wear my red tights or I'd get a beating from the yokels! Knee felt fine which is good so let the training commence again.
