Training Log Archive: Mounty

Tapped out an evening Killarney loop with the ayup after a sailing morning and softball afternoon.

The moon was so stunning, I stopped and sat on a rock with light off for 10min to soak up the serenity.

"Monsta, 3pm tommoz at the Roy, bit of puff. Deano"

Have been looking to get back on the ski after a period of upper body neglect. The above text from Dean to his paddle squad seemed like a good place to start, Puff it certainly did.

Refer to Andy and Brooners log for a writeup of this one.

They say you can learn something from every run if you pay attention. Picked up a few things from this one:-
- Hoegaarden bottles with their narrow neck to keep the froth under control are a good shape for running.
- Lads from Prague run faster the more beer u put in them.
- it is quite feasible to run long without water.
- it is acceptable to enter Bavarian bars In lycra shorts and order pretzls.
- pretzels would be an awesome AR food.
- Friday night long runs free up the weekend
- there are few things more fun than running technical trails at night and talking sh*t with your mates.

Have reverted to riding a re-purposed MTB, as the old commuter has been ridden in to the ground. I really should swap the MTB tyres off the commuting wheels - noticeably slower.

Andy Hill commute. After an unplanned pub stop after work, I realised that my car was in Gladesville for pickup post service and would need it in the morning.

11pm ride thru Darling Harbour and up Victoria Rd. Chilly.

Starting to get the commute going again slowly. Really should ride more often - very pleasant.

Tried to go to ourimbah for a mtb ride on the bank holiday, enjoying a day off while the kids were at school for a change. Sure enough, an hour up the freeway school called aasking to collect a sick Tom. grr.

Made do with a short ride around red hill later in the day.
