Training Log Archive: Mounty

Cruisy MTB ride with Damon and Fleur from Bateman's Bay, finishing at Mogo zoo. Tag teamed with Katrin who then rode back to apartment.

Very nice evening paddle in Bateman's Bay. Great spot between one of the islands and mainland where the swells sit up but dont dump.

Tried 211 paddle. Good for accelerating on to runs.

Rode to work, but it seems a long time ago. No idea what I did.

Absolutely f*cked after work. Felt like I was hunger flatting, so stopped at 7-11 to fuel up. Plodded home.

Learned 2 things
1) In hindsight decided I was just worn out rather than hunger bonking
2) Summer Rolls are yummy. Need to add to the race food repetoire

Pipeline. Bewdiful morning, glassy water. Cruised upstream, then a set of 10*30s on/off return. Translates to 43strokes/35 rec to a suprising degree of consistency - stopped looking at watch and just counted instead.

Glad that next event requries some paddle training. Reminded again that getting out on the water is plain old fun.

Have pulled the plug on Japan run. Bit disappointed about that, but New Cal is looking like fun.

C • shame about japan 5

Im not sure about the Google add on AP offering to increase my EPO levels 90%.

Dashed home via the shortcuts to make a school concert.

Then sat in said concert for 2 hours wishing Id grabbed a drink and some food in transition.

Gym. Experimenting with some variations to the routine. 10min jogging on the treadie, and some stretching mixed in today. Decided that recent knee niggle has been the result of laziness on the stretching front lately - tight buns (in the bad sense).

Decent clip home, feeling not too bad.

Someone put detergent in the Martin Place fountain again. Suspect that joke was first done in about 1834, but still amusing. A bit like fart jokes.

Suprisingly chylly wynd.

Focus on core - decided not paddling for a few months has affected core form. Very poor set of chins.
