Event: Kewdale MetrO
 

Elite Racing Cycles Group, seemed a bit easier today until we got to Nedlands, when the fast group passed us and it was on. Still, I managed to stay in the group until we passed the Brewery where the fast group always has a sprint. Binnsey joined us at Tiger Tiger afterwards for fruit toast and good coffee.

During the ride I noticed one of the older guys in the group had a jersey from Pujols, a small town in the Lot, which I had been coincidentally reading about a few weeks ago. He is 68, a pretty fit guy, actually lives in Pujols but originally from the West Country like me. So we had a bit of a chat - he spends European winters over here staying with his daughter's family.

Kewdale Metro Series event, very warm - max was 37C, still around 30 at 5pm. Not a great route choice, but only 250m more than tRicky's optimum. 4th - better than last week and gained MV points on all but K Post.

Bridges and Heirisson run, didn't have either watch or gps, so had to take the time by my mobile (check time, lock glovebox, lock car, unlcok car, unlock glove box, check finish time). Probably was 48.30 or thereabouts. Saw 2 kangaroos right by the gate talking German with some tourists (well, the tourists were talking German to the roos).

Kings Park run, felt lousy for the first 500-600m, but gradually improved.

Rest day - my body couldn't take 3 hard sessions in 24hrs for the third week in a row.

Tennis elbow progress - exercise regime having little effect to date. Now icing afterwards and hopefully will improve.
