Ride to/from work/school.

Ride to/from school/work. No time for training today. Too much study and work. Got two long runs planned for the weekend as study breaks...

Ride to/from school. Felt a bit tired after this last load of training but very fit too... School leavers dinner tonight should be good.

Boosted up the peak with Tom for a ride. I had two periods off during the day and it suited him well. Was the fastest ride i had done up there in a while and we took tracks most of the way. My usual riding partner needs to do a few hours i think... We examined the fire damage from yesterday and the whole eastern face is burnt! Came down the downhill track then through chambers farm and down through tainui before back along Temata where tom did some motor pacing back to school. Legs felt good and i was finding the speed really good. Tom only really showed his true colours on technical steep climbing sections where he rode the tight switchbacks faster than i could. We rode some tracks i hadn't done in a while too. Bike felt like crap. Toms looked awesome....time for a new one!

Ride to/from school.

Really cruisy run with Chloe. Did a long road loop and got back in time to watch outrageous fortune at her house.

Ran up Mount Erin again. Tom was down from Auckland cause he had his adventure racing trials over the weekend and he came up with me. We went pretty steady the whole way, both of us being slightly tired from our weekends pursuits... There were a couple of sessions where we really pushed it up a little climb and he got the better of me. Overall it was a good run to loosen up my legs and get them going again. Another stinking hot day and big bush fire on the peak!!!

Won a merit award at the Hawkes Bay Secondary School sports awards ceremony. Orienteers in general featured in many of the sections.
