Walk 1:20:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Salomon S-Lab Sense 5 Ultra
Little wander in Bowenvale in the misty rain - up the Lava flow and down the valley. Had a few issues with my ankle kind of popping which got quite uncomfortable after a while so had to slow right down. Not sure what it is, like it's full of air in the joint or something but it's right on the outside bit where the knobbly bit is (I know so much about the human anatomy :-P)

Road Bike 1:47:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Shimano WM64
From work to Sumner then up Evans to Mt Pleasant and down to home. Hard work for weak little Katie up Evans Pass especially with a bit of a headwind but M was very nice and supportive and even gave me a bit of a push which was good 'cause the popping in my ankle was getting a bit painful. Taking it slow with lots of breaks on the descent...looking forward to the day my wrist is strong enough to tackle an entire descent in one go. But I love my new bike!!

Checking out the new mtb track on Montgomerey Spur with M. Fun! But had a few ankle niggles on the way up. It is so hard to ride slowly and gently when there are people riding just in front of you like carrots tempting you to want to speed up and pass!! Anyway, the track is fun...a nice change from the usual up-across-down type ride every other ride is.

Walk race (Summer Starter) 1:21:59 [3] 10.0 km (8:12 / km)
(injured) shoes: Salomon S-Lab Sense 5 Ultra
The stupid summer starter with the work crew. Well, not actually with them but you know. Trying to power walk as fast as I could but my limp was causing my right leg to feel uncomfortable after a while. Pretty happy with how fast I got round though but it was hard not to feel frustrated with not being able to run when everyone goes tearing past. The problem with a flat walk is that no matter how fast I walk I just don't feel like I'm going very hard (uphill is another story).
11 AM
Walk 2:36:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Salomon S-Lab Sense 5 Ultra
Home from Redcliffs via the hills. Well, almost home. M picked me up on the tandem at the bottom of the valley track as I had definitely overdone it and my ankle had been screaming for rescuing for the last hour! So windy.

Road Bike 1:50:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Shimano WM64
Fun times in the howling wind with Lara and M up Mt Pleasant and down Evans for delicious treats at Sumner before heading home into the funtimes headwind. Had to keep reminding myself to slow down and stop pushing so hard on the way up to try and keep the ankle happy. Bit of a terrifying descent with walls of wind hitting us after Evans Pass. Had to get off and walk for about 20 metres where it got ridiculous.

Walk 38:00 [2]

Walking round the wedding rogaine with my team. It was quite hard work trying to keep up with them but probably a leisurely pace for everyone else!
2 PM
MTB 1:10:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Shimano WM64
Riding the Geraldine river tracks mostly just with M. Really hard going at times with the unclipping becoming more and more unbearable and the pressure required through the pedals at times but quite exciting!

Walk 1:24:00 [3]
(injured) shoes: Mizuno Wave Inspire 10
From home up Huntsbury to the start of the gravel and back down the tracks to Major Aiken then round to the supermarket and home. It was 'okay' going up but really not good going down.

MTB 1:02:00 [3]

On the tandem up Rapaki and down Huntsbury. Felt good for the first half of the hill and then felt sooooo unfit and uncomfortable after that. But it was Friday date night and I was in the hills so it was all good.

Walk 45 [3]
(injured) shoes: Mizuno Wave Inspire 10
From the supermarket round the park and back home. I totally overdid it - felt like I needed rescuing when I was about as far away as I could get but had to get home by myself. Super swollen but excited to be 'walking' without a moon boot. Strapped up to the nines instead.
