Nosh track run before paddling. Quickish with some stretch stops & core drills. Didnt want to just do a blob run.

10*2min intervals. Mixed up paddle length a bit. First effort @ 211cm, then switched to 214. Split pretty much the same, but felt very different.

Cruisy Akuna, Church Point, St Ives with Darvo and Alex.

Trot down to Davo park and back,

Absoutely slaughtered by freezing, windy, heavy rain storm. Usually live by the saying that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes. But without access to the box of wonder clothes, this ride truly sucked.

Longer gym session, but lots of stretching in there.

Amusing anecdote of the day was dropping my gym pass on the treadmill. It went under my foot and shot across the room (presumably at 15kmh), crashing in to the banana butt walking machine of a somewhat startled lass.

Rode back to Castle Cove. Blowing a gale. Combined the strong tailwind with a bus slip stream to cruise up the Miller st hill at 35km/h.

First time taking bus depot route for a while. Got drilled by the karma bird. Avalanche attack technique - 4 fly-bys each with solid hit to the helmet, but no ear biting (nip and tuck technique). Well played.

Dropped the kids at holiday activities, hit the water with Katrin in the new double for a Northbridge loop, transition on to the bike to ride to town just in time for first meeting of the day. Slick!

Note to self: need to put non-skid on the ski's footboards. Super-slippery when wet. Otherwise, ski felt good. Runs better on the flat than the mark 2.

Great ride with Damon and Fluer. Found some very nice Angry Doctor course bits. Did a few reps on one of the downhill sections with the big berms. Raining, but oh so fun.

Thanks again to LazyDave for raking the tracks.
