Cycling 3:49:04 79.55 km (20.8 kph) +974m
ahr:131 max:167 shoes: Willier Izoard
1st sydney ride.
Met Les (from work) in centennial park and rode east to south head, then south past the beaches to botany. I've never been to port botany before, and it was surprisingly nice!
Rode at Les's pace, which was pretty relaxed with a couple of moderate efforts on the hills when i knew where to go.
Very undulating, will be a good regular route when perfected... maybe even a before-work ride if we live in surry hills.
Route ok, need to get some backstreets from newtown to dulwich hill sorted.

ahr:158 max:218 shoes: Salomon SpeedCross
1st Sydney trailrun with Andyhill and Mounty.
Very nice out. Struggled with the terrain a lot (need to get my trail legs in) and struggled with the pace these boys go at. Think i would have been lagging on the pace a lot more had i been out there on my own.
Pretty shattered at the end, but perked up wit some food in me.
Fantastic icypole... fantastic.

Note
slept:8.0
back easing up nicely, legs fine.
A bit of right ankle-spur trouble has been steadily building up since NYC similar to last year pre-valencia mara. may need to sort out some ice-ing for recoveries.

Woke up really late, with a very stiff back all day a sore gut.
slept for 11 hours last night, which is also strange.
Not sure, will monitor over the next few days, but anne feels the same...

My introduction to Andyhill and Brooner was this 17 hillrep octopus around observatory hill & the rocks. This year they decided to do beers every 5 reps.
Tough, but made it through.

Running (HFW) 50:44 [3] 10.63 km (4:46 / km) +161m 4:26 / km
shoes: Gt2000 Black
Beers in Potts Point with a triathlete guy i knew from London.
He's pretty keen to get on the bike and show me around, and was very re-assuring that there is good riding to be had. Ran home from the pub.
As far as the run goes, it was easier than yesterday (it was cooler), but still felt like very very hard going.
Its as if i feel noticeably heavier (i've put on a kg or 2 in NYC), and technique feels very sloppy.

HFW via pyrmont wharfs.
Horrible run. Its unbelievable how much i'm struggling with the heat.
Apparently it was only 25 degrees when i was running, but literally could not do more that 10km at 4:30 pace. I would normally expect 10km at under 4:00 before it would really defeat me.
I guess its understandable given i've come from London winter, via NYC winter, but still didn't think it would be that bad, especially after a rest day.
