Wind. I HATE wind. To say I was petrified for a lot of the ride would be an understatement, and I vowed NEVER to ride my road bike again. But then when I hit Brindabella Rd, the wind was behind me and/or didn't seem to be as strong, the road became more interesting, I was flying and I thought road cycling was the best.

Macquarie, Coppins Crossing Rd, Uriarra Rd, someother rd, Brindabella Rd, Cotter Rd, Yarralumla creek, Macquarie.

Anyway, I cracked 7hrs for the week which is the first 7hr week since being on attackpoint, look out! Nothin like a long ride to pad out the training....

Black Mt/Bruce's Ridge with Simon, Vanessa and Anna. Nice run and on a new area for me... although Anna made us run up a massively steep track to the Telstra Tower! I've got used to simply running around the hills here and avoiding any climb.

Mt Ainslie with Anna Q. Feeling somewhat dehydrated, I skulled a litre of water about 2 seconds before I started running, then felt ill for most of the run. Still, nice day and good company.

Straight from work to the Australia Day concert... couldn't miss Guy Sebastian live now could I? Then we hit Mooseheads, absolute class.

Started well, tried to maintain tempo, but, I got lazy. Nav was all right, lost some seconds here are there (route choice) because I was too lazy to read the map. Great course though! It was lots of fun.

Mt Ainslie anticlockwise. So frikin hot!
