Training Log Archive: Bomb

mowed the lawn this arvo, which was epic. crappy old mower is really heavy, and stupid rain has made the grass grow really long.

been feeling a bit off for a few days, so skipped training. might try and do some yoga or pilates today so I've at least done something.

first yoga class in ages. would probably have thought it was really lame, except that I was so bad that it was kinda hard. very tight, especially in the hip flexors. need to do more of this!
logging yoga seems so lame when its your only training. not so bad if you've already done 10hrs, but haven't in this case. oh well.

run from Clare's place, with Thor and Jon. tired, and didn't feel too good running in the heat. swim in Clare's pool after was nice.

river loop with trolls. twas hard. legs were empty. fruit and coffee at merlos was good.

plod to the end of long pocket and back. was slow and shit going out, and slower and shitter coming back. had some over-heating issues for the last 10mins. a bit dehydrated I think, and totally not acclimatised to brissy summer yet.

trolls ride. first one for a while, and the speed changes got me at the end. about 20 in the group today. good to catch up with lance and wendy, and matt groves (from my original AR team) was back in town from quito, so coffee went for quite a while. not sure if its just a christmas thing, but the cafe brought out free fruit platters for us, yum!

Cruisy mtb ride at Daisy hill with Jen, Bec and Denise. Took the tractor, and got a flat :-( need to get tubeless back!
Good breakfast at the rochdale cafe after, and they didn't even lose any orders.

last day at Rotorua. waited for quite a while for it to stop pissing down, and finally it was only light rain, so decided to ride anyway. usual run up the hill - finally rode the drop on tickler, and funnily enough, it was really easy. direct rd, billy tea (had my only decent crash of the week - clipped a tree and ended up about 5m below the track. bit of a hike-a-bike to get back on the track, but only a few bruises). split enz. Dan followed me with the camera for most of pondys and rollercoaster. be rude not too (where helen rode off, and we spent half an hour in the freezing rain looking for her), exit trail, and home to hot pool.

mtb at rotorua. A team ride. pretty much every track on the lower part of the hill.

mtb at craters of the moon. in the front bunch (ie, with the guys) when the group split. good move... apparently hissy fits and faffing were major features of the girls group ride.

mtb rotorua. 2 laps of the hill. billy tea + g-rock run, then back up for the huck tracks, with a few detours on the way up and down. rode the old exit track. wild.
