Training Log Archive: Mounty

Nipped out for a run while the kid's were at a birthday party, but soon realised that my hips were suffering from post-rogaine tightness with some asymmetry appearing. Running like that just leads to injury, so I bailed and went for a walk instead. Fortunately have an appointment with super-Gav this week.

Afternoon spin on the ski to Northbridge. Enjoyed a 15 kt tailwind in the same way that you enjoy a new house, ie. with a nagging realisation that the mortgage will soon need to be repaid, with 5k back up-hill. Pleased to get a slight discount on interest rate when the afternoon seabreeze started to fade as the sun dropped.

Finished with 10-odd 30 second efforts. Weak! Paddling like a runner.

Easy plod to North Sydney - about 5minutes below par. Felt OK, but I think that is because I'd set my expectations so low.

Only real soreness was the big toenail on the gutter jumps.

Spanker of a day.

Recovery session in hotel gym in Adelaide. Mostly on windtrainer. Finished with a couple of minutes on running treadmill at 5m/k - ouch.

Walked from Flat Rock to work. Feeling rather flat. After a great sleep on sunday, was a bit restless last night. I think the resting HR is still up.

Looks like a couple of toe nails could fall victim to the weekend's hills.
