Training Log Archive: LOST_Richard

Ashfield Metro MTBO set by Sten

Chased after Ricky to #8 and #11 and then lost touch I wonder why!

Missed #7 as it was a bit out on its own then #12, #13, #15, #16, #14, #18 skipped #21, #19, #24, #17 went the long way as got messed up the angles coming out of the park, Skipped #20, #22, #25, #28, left out 26 & 27, then #1, #2 missed read the path so walked own the steps to #2 and then saw that the path was by the water so around the road to #23, then #3, #10, #9, #4 & #5 and left #6 out.

Came 3rd by a few seconds but could have out sprinted for 2nd but was not sure if I had enough controls and was dithering about going to #6

Very good course by Sten

GPS Fail as it started then stopped so restarted again 5 minutes into the course

Friday ride, drizzle through the south side of the river and strong wind in our faces up the coast.

The coffee shop marketing plan to delay the muffins, works for them as a 2nd coffee was required by the muffin munchers to wash them down

DNA Loop - 5mins walk and 5 minutes run off and on

Back a bit sore after 30+ minutes so walked the last segment

Four times up the hill in Kings Park - got blow away by a couple of fast guys on the hill, made me feel very slow as they raced up the slope.

First continuous run since the back started playing up. Manged 3 5 minute sections without any obvious back pain.

Hopefully on the road to recovery,

The breathing was stuffed and legs felt they did not want to do it.

GPS switched off early - not sure if it is playing up after posting on the cheap GPS thread that it works well!

Out to Bayswater on the river bike path very busy morning, 4WD Show, Big Walk plus many people out enjoying the day.

Strong sea breeze back into the city on the railway
