Event: Frazzle Rock Easter 2011
 

Light and easy loosener.

Started out going around what is now Belinda's parents block to check out the shiny new fencing. Then over to evil Con's to check out the cotton bush. Down round the edge of the bush towards the river, getting dark, saw a couple of cat/fox like creatures run into the bush. Padded out the rest of the run with more random running around.

Bit behind on logging training this week due to dodgy internet connection and attackpoint being down a bit.

Had to go down the the Landcare Centre at Mundijong to help build some Cockatoo Nests (Cockatubes) but needed to leave the ute at home to get serviced, so rode down. Gusty easterly crosswind was pretty annoying.

Caught sight up a bunch of riders around Bishop Rd and the back streets of Mundijong, passed two of them but the rest went a different way before I caught them.

More dodgy internet connection and more bogus HR data.

Still annoying gusty easterly on the way home, went back along the railway line. Went into overdrive along Abernethy Rd as I turned west and got the tailwind.

Took it easy early on but still had to concentrate not to give myself a gap to make up. Was happy to have the company of Jake and Tooms off the back of the North Freo sprint, nice not to have to catch everyone up for once.

Missed my planned jump to the front at the base of the water tower climb as it seemed everyone else also wanted to get in front. It's nice not being miles off the back by the top of the hill but, since I'm use to having to chase hard to catch up before the start of the devils elbow climb.

Once we got to CCGS I was safe from being dropped, so once we got past the twisty corners I went ahead, almost didn't take the lead as the pace seemed to pickup but didn't have enough space to drop into second wheel so I went on the front. Was almost toast and was looking for someone to came up by the time Tooms saved me from my madness.

Didn't have much left for my favourite hill and I went off the back for a while, to find that Tooms had dropped into an abyss.

Took the short way to work to save the return to Floreat for before running tonight.

Warm up jog from Bold Park pool over to a primary school oval. Then some drills and generally weird stuff. Then 8 x 360m loops with a short rest so each rep started 2:15 after the last started.
Did them all in 1:13 or 1:12, very hard work trying to keep up with Tooms, but just couldn't quite keep up, completely knackered by the end of each rep.

Messy but nothing too diabolical early, happy to be staying in front of ShotRat for a while around 5,6,7.

Headed up the track between 10 and 11 instead of following Kellie who'd just gone past, so I ended up just missing the control and relocating off the fences as Dalto who'd been behind me at 10 came past. Should have just stuck to the fence.

Things went really bad at 13 and 14 took a couple of reloctions to get 13 and then missed 14 and had to try again from 13.

By the time I finished I couldn't be bothered going out again to do the sprint exercise, probably should have just done the H2.
