Training Log Archive: Mounty

Ran with Katrin from Cotter campsite back to the MTB (kiddie tag team with Guenter). Figured there would be a way to make it back, but wasnt expecting a firetrail that went the whole way.

Chased by a herd of cows (Kim taught me not to worry, but Katrin not convinced), got belted by an electric fence & by chance ended up at the head of the MTB worlds downhill course.

Other than that, pretty quiet.

Watching MTB worlds in Canberra. Camped at Cotter crossing. Didn't see any cyclists with cinnamon toast go by in the morning.

Rode in from Malga with Katrin. Lucky to avoid some parking cop nastiness at school. Dude in plain clothes, was at the door of his car in the last spot before the No Stopping zone starts looking like he was about to get in and drive off.

Katrin pulled up to wait so she could roll in to the spot. Instead dude turns out to be a council ranger & pulls out a camera to start shooting photos of being stopped in a no stopping zone. Talked her way out of it, impressively resisting the urge to tell the guy to just f*ck off.

Snappyish ride to collect the kids. Got halfway across Roseville bridge before remembering car was back at Malga, and turned for a bonus pinch climb.

Noticed while carrying Annika to bed that she is starting to get rather heavy - up in to the low 30kgs. Going to need to increase the weight training.

Pfaffed around in the gym.

Suffering from a mild case of the cbf's.

Blades of Glory is a very funny movie.
