Training Log Archive: Vaala

On the tandem out to Sumner via the valley then up Evans Pass, along the tops and down Dyers to home. Warmer than I expected. Feeling okay I guess. Trying my best to function like a normal human being. It's hard.

Looking forward to and dreading Le Race at the same time. I think we're as ready as we can in the circumstances so if you're around and bored next Saturday morning please come and cheer us on.

Struggling up the valley then on to Rapaki where some older guy stopped me to tell me that I was running fast and looked like an athlete (hahaha!!!) and spent ages trying to convince me to enter running races. I was too polite to tell him I was getting cold and was keen to get going again. Oh well. Then onwards and round Witch Hill and along the tops a bit that way before heading back and up and over Mt Vernon then round the mtb track and down Farm Track. Feeling absolutely crap. Super gunky and a bit nauseous then my back started hurting on the way down the hill. My ankle doesn't seem so bad today. Perhaps having a couple of days off it a bit helped.

Walking round in the super cold and windy morning putting up posters. So tired. Then worked late, got home, cried and ate chocolate. This week sucks.

Molly has gone missing. We have walked up and down and up and down and up and down and I am extremely tired. I want my cat back.

Headwind hell from work out to the rogaine. I came so close to giving up on the causeway.

Fun times gossiping with Lara. Not the most exciting course but still pretty fun. It was pretty clear from early on that we'd be able to get them all which was a bit sad but I was feel pretty good and strong considering how bad I'd felt on Saturday.

Lovely cruise home again with a very pleasant tailwind!

Unsurprisingly the TT was cancelled but we never checked so ride out there anyway and got drenched. Then just cruised the course with one of the other regulars (okay, so it wasn't actually a cruise at all) before making the cold trip home. I was completely frozen and miserable by the time we got home! Felt quite good riding. Seem to be feeling reasonably recovered...

So many interruptions it's amazing I actually got through!
