Mountain Biking hills 1:05:53 [2] 17.95 km (16.3 kph)
shoes: Specialized Epic Comp 2006
1700 - Did an easy session around the hills of Northcliff just to loosen up. Muscles are a bit sore from water skiing, and I've got a heavy sunburn on the only place I didn't think to put sunscreen... the top of my feet! Av 16.3 Mx 59.3

Alpine Skiing (Vaal River) 30:00 [3]
Had a fun day down at the Vaal. Spent about 3 hours on the water, first on jetskis and then tried the water-skiing thing. Got up first time and only had a couple of falls. Legs took a bit of strain until I learnt posture. Had to learn very quickly as Mac also started having 'fun' steering the boat after a while. Great fun, especially trying to get over the wake for a bit of slalom, but the jetskiing was still #1.

(rest day)
The evening paddle at Dabs didn't happen. I got there, then chickened out when I saw the approaching clouds.

Gym 1:00:00 [3]
1200 - back in the gym for biokinetics. Felt totally hopeless after 2 months off, and the temp was extra hot and humid to make it feel so much worse.
Mountain Biking 3:30:13 [4] 64.7 km (18.5 kph)
shoes: Specialized Epic Comp 2006
1400 - Epic training has started. Rode to Mac's estate and we then went out for a speedy ride to Protea Ridge. Beautiful tracks, but still tough and technical. Bombed it back to Allen's Nek on the way back. Av 18.4 Mx 72.1

Road Running (Pirates TT) 38:05 [4] 8.0 km (4:46 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus 2007
1745 - Its been years since I last ran the Pirates time trial. Still quite enjoyable, although traffic is not too nice. Started off feeling totally out of form and hit the wall after 4.5km... ouch. Somehow managed to recover to put in a good last km.
Even short training sessions are leaving me tired. Still got some way to go before I'm totally over Portugal.

Mountain Biking (D&D) 2:15:06 [2] 34.94 km (15.5 kph)
shoes: Specialized Epic Comp 2006
1400 - Went out to Centurion for a social ride with Hardy. Cruised to a local park to see if it is suitable for O' (very). Then out onto the single tracks (very alert to ensure we come back with bikes) in the Irene area. Lots of technical riding and a few places where we gunned the single tracks. Great fun. Av 15.5 Mx 37.0
