Training Log: heyU

Walk/jog 28:00 [1]

am: Grinding it out around Subiaco Palms again. 4x2.5min and 1x3 min.

Cycling 2:26:09 [3] 57.1 km (2:34 / km)

am: Out to Guildford and return. A replay of last weekend's ride, except that this time I managed to score a headwind on the way out, and on the way back, with a very early sea breeze. Luckily the wind wasn't strong.

Learned something new today (obviously my education is incomplete). I was following a guy on a road bike (just briefly) along the path next to Kings Park, when up ahead we spy a woman walking a dog coming towards us. Roadie dings his bell (loudly) and moves over to the left. I follow. All good so far. Except that the foolish woman does a rabbit-in-the-spotlight impersonation and then suddenly steps over on to our side of the path leaving the dog on the opposite side with the leash stretched out across the path. After much hard braking a collision is avoided and roadie says to the woman "You should stay over to the left". To which the woman replies emphatically "No it's to the right. When you have a dog you stay to the right". Obviously I've had it all wrong all these years :-) Some people are just too thick to learn anything new.

Walk/jog 30:00 [1]

am: A replay of Wed's session. 4x2.5 min and 1x3 min. Toe was quite tight in the first few minutes of walking but loosened up OK

Cycling 1:04:56 [3] 26.1 km (2:29 / km)

am: Usual Fri ride out to Claremont via UWA, Hackett Dr, The Avenue, Birdwood, Jutland, Victoria Ave etc. and return, with a lap of Kings Pk at the end. Reasonably warm morning, after possibly the hottest night of the summer, but didn't seem too bad on the bike. Hard work, though, into the wind on the way back on Birdwood Pde.

Gym 51:00 [2]
weight:80.3kg

pm: Usual stuff at SportsMed Subi.

Cycling 44:00 [3]

am: A couple of laps of Kings Pk, pushing the hills a bit.

Walk/jog 29:00 [1]

am: At Subiaco Palms with 4x2.5min and 1x3min. First effort was a bit ordinary, but i felt more co-ordinated with each successive effort. Almost running on the last one.
Left toe was better behaved this morning.
