Cycling 4:15:00 [2] 85.0 km (3:00 / km)
My parent's house to Morgan's Road, east of Newcastle. Biked along the lake...spectacular. The waterfront trail is kind of sketchy in places, but still, a great ride.

We won 1 of 3 games. We're still not doing too bad this year. I am still a horrible v-ball player, though.

Note
slept:5.0 (rest day)
Warmed up by working late, then did some heavy fork lifting, followed by 2 hours of intensive play watching. The Dream in High Park is fantastic this year. What an opening sequence! Phenomenal juxtaposition!

Elliptical (X-trainer Elliptical) 1:00:00 [4]
slept:6.5 weight:91.6kg
Legs felt a little bit shakey at the end. I good sign, I guess, but I also feel like I am out of conditioning. Wait, don't I always feel like that?
The scale at my gym gives different weights, depending on how I stand on it. I'm not convinced at the accuracy of it.

Cycling 30:00 [2]
Finished off my cardio with some time on the bike. I had thought about going for an hour, but I didn't think I could do it.
Swimming 30:00 [2] 0.45 km (1:06:40 / km)
I tried to focus a lot on what Mick told me about technique...esp. arm positioning and turning my torso to reduce my horizontal water column.
I found that these changes made it easier to breath.
Also, not doing an upper body workout beforehand also helped.

Tennis 10:00 [1]
Played tennis with Sparkes until the lights went out. My power serve continues to develop (I'm able to deliver almost complete power through most of my rotation), but my volleys are still hurting my game.

Note
slept:6.5
Worked late, and didn't have time to do something active. The past few weeks have been not very athletically oriented, despite the fact that I've recovered (mostly) from my knee pain and it is summer. I need to refocus.
