Long run over Majura, majura Pines, AInslie then round the back. Ran with Waz, Devil, Hoggster & Scotty. Waz's influence made the pace more snappy than ususal. Andy put the foot down over last 20mins round the back of ainslie and I didnt even contemplate going with them. Was a bit hungover from the walders wedding.

warmin up and down.

5*8-900m (2 laps of far aranda oval) with 90s recovery between each. Trying to run them at 5/10k pace which made it fairly comfortable. Probably a bit conservative on 1st few but HRates were about right for session.
3.24(148/161), 3.23(150/167), 3.19(159/170), 3.18(161/171), 3.15(162/175)

C • Did you get to the footy? 4

Slept in, getting up at 6.21 for 6.30 at Cook shops. Breakfast was a power bar while riding. Big bunch of Hoggster, devil, shep, cowie, walders, candyman and sebba. Nice morning although sunrise is getting later and later, will at least need a rear light next week. Pace was cranked along horse park, I think Candyman and cowie moving along at the front but not sure coz i was at the rear of the field. The rest of the pete went to cafe deli marco but i got cranky and stuck true to tradition and went to Sfoglia. I prefer the coffee there and find the food at deli marco rotten. Had a nice quiet read of the paper - is that long-time orienteer John Morris on the front of the Canberra times being arrested at the Dick Cheney protest? I reckon it is.

C • brekkie 5

sweet.

C • Target times? 4

Cycling to work and then to watch Doggies training at AInslie oval (oh and home again). Watched training with Bazorak and belinda. Cracker stuff. Had a chat to Aker, or rather Aker chatted to me about cycling. Pumped. How will I break it to Em & Walders that due to the footy at Manuka on Saturday I can make it to their reception but not the ceremony?

C • Won't find out about free tick... 4

Long slow run in the rain over Painter and round Black Mtn. HR monitor flaky - might have to escalate problem investigation to the next level. I'm thinking battery is going flat but cleaning did seem to help. It seems ok for about 50mins and then starts to swing between reading overly high (eg 230) and then back to not reading at all (i.e. 00). anyone else had these probs? I suppose after 18months of fairly solid use it could just be batteries.

too work, XC & home after a nice picnic with Susie, Patrik, Josh & Mia.

warms ups and downs.

Longer XC race although calling it XC is a bit rich seeing its all on bike path. Felt good heart & lungs wise but quads were a bit weary. I was hopeful after rest week that I would start todays XC feeling fresh but it was not to be - I presume due to sand running (couldnt be anything to do with alcohol consumed and lack of sleep) on weekend. Paced myself fairly well although perhaps left a smidge in the tank and certainly wasnt thrashing myself. Was a little dissapointed with the time as I was hopeful of breaking 28. I think the finish was a bit further down the path than past races. Looked up my old results and did 28.23 in 2004 (i.e. faster!) with times over 30 in the years before that.

C • XC 2

to and from work.

Cook blob with Lorac, Bazorak & Hoggster. ALso Pippa & Bella who were highly entertaining and looked so the same. Felt a bit sluggish at the start but warmed into it nicely.
HR monitor i tihnk a little better after a run through the washing machine.
