Training Log Archive: Mounty

A cunning car-dance. Annika drove my car home from sailing - she had a hot date to get to, and I hung around for season opening beers on the deck. Sunday morning I then ran to Killarney to collect the car - and Tom - to take him back down to Manly for his sail.

A solid paddle in a big bouncy swell while Tom sailed. the sourtherly had blown in some rollers that were bouncing off Dobroyd for a most enjoyable washing machine riding experience.

Big southerly for my first sail of the year with Annika on the new boat. Technical error cut short the day when we discovered on the water that the spreader end caps hadn't been glued in properly, and a backstay swinging loose in the wind meant for a hasty retreat. Had a blast before that - quite some power in that boat.

Alcohol-free beer stairs with Andy. A fairly lazy cruise around the Pyrmont stair reps and no time for Quarryman's at the end with a meeting audience too senior straight after to dare a pint.

5 * wharfies: 1:59, 1:54, 1:53: 1:52, 1:51 on 90 sec. Surprisingly good splits for the current level of threshold fitness, which I put down to running dynamics feeling rather good (for me).

Cruisy run over to Glebe with Bart via the foreshores. Things started to get intense on the back half with Bart looking increasingly desperate to make it back in time for a toilet visit. Sounds like I dodged a bullet.

Gentle lunch spin around the wharves. Legs stiff from Saturday.
