Time trial (of sorts) from swanwick to friendly beaches via the 4wd track. We were going for a dive so i left 15 minutes prior to the vehicles and pushed hard until they caught up. Was caught just before the water treatment plant on south friendly road. Pushed hard up the next couple of hills and thanks to the big spoon drains they have put accross the road every 400m soon caught back up to them! Was a bit of a cruise from there as the MTB was a lot quicker than the vehicles on that track. The spoon drains were great to hit at high speed - good fun ride. Got a lift back after a couple of hours diving.

Took the GPS to find some geocaches in the freycinet park and to see if i had set it up properly. Spent a great couple of hours rinding trails in and around coles bay.

headed out on paddle from swanwick to coles bay with marms and steve. Thought we might be in for a long time as marms fell off in knee deep water. went out over the sandbar and caught a few good swells in while we waited for marms. Decided to head for coles bay with steve via a lap of the island off muirs beach (not sure of name). Was keeping an eye on marms but when we got to the island couldnt sight him, so steve kept going and i paddled back. Found marms among the swells paddle away - apparntly he had a dips and was having one when i lost sight of him! paddled the rest of the way with him, got easier as we got closer to sure and the wind died down.

Great run from swanwick around the coastline into coles bay, then return via the bush tracks. First 1-2km felt like shit then got better as run went on, great trails to run on around here.

Cruisy paddle in the red machine from swanwick boat ramp into coles bay with Steve, then had great time on the beach, swimming, beach cricket etc.

Nice walk around swanick/black point area. good to do some exercise after couple of days off.

Afternoon swim after big weekend on parks and gardens duty. Struggled to start with but got easier (?) as i went on.

beach run at somerset with a few boys from the hockey club. Pretty easy stroll.

Paddle with AB, steve and marms from the surf club two laps of the cam and return. Had a dip on the second lap good hit out on great morning for paddle.

Beach run from the surf club to cloverlea and return. Big tail wind on the way back made it easier.

200m warm up, 1km swim, 100m recovery.
Been a while since I have done 1km non stop, so swimming must be getting better.
Early starts are still lots of fun!

Enjoyable run along coopers lane. Jo, cameron and nick were on the bikes and i ran with the dog. Good fun and ran a little quicker with the dog dragging me along.

Very nice jog on Sunday morning with Jo around the River track at Wynyard. Started at the cape bridge and ran out to the highway bridge. Beautiful morning with very few people about.

Mountain bike ride at resovoir drive. Did the 17km circuit which included a couple of solid climbs. Felt good and had a new experience - I got to to wait at the top of the hill for others! Also good to ride without a back pack.

First run back from xpd! Gentle undulating run along Coopers Lane. Felt ok just idling along, feet were supriingly good and didnt realy notice them until the last KM.

easy paddle from the surf club up the cam and back along the coast. rolled the arms over and felt ok.

Eased back into some exercise with a 1km swim. First 500m felt very good but had to work a bit on the back end. Nice to do something again
