Pyrmont hill with Mounty, then broke my fast with a beer. nice.
efforts are definately harder without a carb-store, but i already knew that, and took it pretty easy.

Cycling 31:52 [3] 10.49 km (19.8 kph) +169m
Standing commuter.
I think this is a good one to bring back. legs definately get a better workout, especially if i put a bit of effort in in a bigger gear (which i didn't this morning haha)

Note
slept:3.5
Sleeping has been getting really wierd lately. Last night i went to bed at 8:30, but didn't get to sleep until 2am. Was up and down reading a book, or writing storyboards for work stuff, or app-ideas... was actually quite productive.
Then Oscar woke up around 5:30 so was up from then.
Never really had a problem with insomnia, but been quite restless at night really since Tarawera.
Surprisingly this morning i probably feel better energy/concentration-wise than i have in a long time... might have to do with a steak i had on Monday, or going half a week without coffee last week...

Note
(sick)
Crazy DOMS from sixfoot which is to be expected given my legstrength and the amount of downhill. Think it will all be good apart from L knee which might need a bit longer. Will probably spend some time on the bike until it feels better, and put off jumping on UTA100 entries until then.
Learnings
- like every race, legstrength. If i'm going to keep doing ultras, especially a miler, i need to do at least 1 strength session a week focussing on squats, lunges, high steps, calfraises, deadlifts if possible.
- cadence. I think the cadence work i started doing 6 months ago should be used again in prep for any races with reasonable amounts of up & down to help increase cadence on the climbs without fatigue.
