Event: Applecross (Perth Metro Series)
 

Metro Series, short course at Applecross.

Yesterday I bought some KT Kinesiology Tape from Rebel Sport (trying to find this or Rock Tape at local pharmacies is impossible!). So put one piece on the calf - bit less than what their Youtube instruction videos show, but thought it would be enough. Jogged around the oval to warm up, and felt a few twinges, so decided against doing the Long. Probably could have though, as once I started the calf gave me no trouble, even when I upped the pace after seeing Jo Anna coming the opposite way about half way round. Turns out she was on Medium, but just as well I went faster because a French girl came in only a few seconds after me.

River/coast ride, with extra 5km around Mt Henry added to make up 200km for the week.

To Dad's in Bull Creek (48 mins into SW headwind) then back to Canning Bridge, then complete the river/coast ride. Tough getting to Freo, but fine after that.

Around the river, bit of an unpleasant change from the past couple of times with a NW headwind up the coast from Port to Swanbourne.

Bassendean ride, nursing PP along.
