Experience whirinaki.
bllody good event, started with trek at midnight through awesome native bush. we took bad route to first cp and lost an hour but spiked the next 4 cps and got to ta1 at just after 7am, then 30min ride to next ta and transistion back to trekking for some day nav that was a little easier. was so drained from concentrating on the nav the night before so me and martin made a 15min cock up on one of the cps but got it and got out. finished that and went tubing down a couple of canyons for an hour before back for the final transistion to mountain bikes, missed the last 2 cps so we could try and get back in time, never really recovered from dropping the hour right at the start. body felt pretty good the whole time, got a bit sore at the end of the second trek but getting onto the bikes was refreshing and i felt mint for the entire mtb section.
Team was working so well together and having a real good time. bring on 24hrs at ARC haha

Event: Kiwi Summer Adventure Race 2
 

teaching people some nav in the bush and doing jamies test to let us do the 18hour. magic bush, and map was pretty good too

ride from home into work, knee felt quite good today, concentrated on controlling its path. only the right one is average now. Headwind pretty much the whole way but nice and sunny so i was happy. went sh16 to westgate then cycleway and up new north road.

ride home from work. 40 minutes then at the bottom of triangle road started interval 1, first 6 sets were big gears and last 4 sets were spinning more. was toast by the end of the last set. real hot. i dont think ive been eating enough lately. knee was much better today, could feel tightness in calves. solid day of training

carrington summer series.
Shins were hurting like hell, so ran it as a steady state run, only a couple of little mistakes, all when i had seen other people. I was aiming to not slow down at all into the circles and try and quickly pick up detail early in the leg. This went pretty well.
Shins are a pain in the arse, I have elanor again on tuesday to do some magic and physio on tuesday to try and fix them.

didnt do my accelerations during the un tonight so sat on the windtrainer when i got home, 5 min warm up the 2x 4 of 30:30 @ 120rpm on resistance 2. Teaching my legs that they can turnover quickly without to much load on. Felt pretty good, holding the cadence nicely. mosquitos in the garage suck, they like biting me on the bum.

C • wear pants 3

C • shot cuz 2

got slack at this last week, and felt it today riding.

surprisingly not a boring session, least boring windtraining ever, having a program that tells me what to do makes such a difference. itbs feel tight again today, but bum muscles not too tight. 2x OS the rest at a resonable cadence in resistance 3 on the windy
