Training Log Archive: Vaala

Crusing City 2 Surf with my boss who totally smashed it and I am super proud of her! Was actually really good for my legs to get them moving at a gentle pace on something flat. But the heat was pretty extreme.

And then once the heat really ramped up it was time to run home!! From the work BBQ up the Bridle Path (didn't feel like running this at all but there was a guy doing his second interval up it on a mtb so we chatted and somehow I think it motivated both of us to keep moving!) then along the tops where there was definitely some walking involved before cruising down the valley to home. My road running shoes made running on narrow tracks not particularly fun but I didn't have any speed so it didn't matter too much. I am now super sleepy and my thighs are tired!

Cruising the mean streets of Chch to the startline.

Woozahs! The wind, holy moly! The tops after hilltop had some pretty scary times. Pretty glad to be on a big heavy tandem but even then we were being pushed across the road. Feeling pretty happy with our ride though after both of us being sick, having all the cat drama and such terrifying wind. Didn't really get passed along the tops after hilltop and we were slowly gaining on the people around us. A bit (okay, more than a bit) grumpy with the people in our bunch along the flats. Hardly anyone in a group of 20 or so were prepared to do any work. ARGH!! Don't they realise we could have gone so much faster if we'd all worked together? Right, rant over now!

Oh yeah, I have a QOM on strava now!! For the final sprint into the finish of Le Race! Classic! M is in 4th place overall with that sprint too so we must have been flying! He was determined that none of the guys behind us were going to pass us going into the finish!

Tired. So tired. What a good start.

I did ride out to look at proofs and have to ride back home into a headwind...

Fun times in the Port Hills with Lara! Actually, it was quite a fun course. We just cruised as we were both feeling a bit tired and we both could probably really do with a rest. Somehow I managed to sprain my little finger but I have no memory of doing it. I just remember running down towards the finish thinking my finger hurt a hell of a lot!

Jogging round the neighbourhood in the cold bringing in our distintgrated signs. Yay for Molly Cat being home!

Pretty wet and miserable outside so no time trial again. Instead it was fun times pedalling away inside whilst watching cycling.

Crappy slow morning run along the river and back. Feeling kinda awful and tense. Then went cat hunting afterwards. Only saw 2 cats. They weren't mine.
