Event: Anaconda Geographe Bay
 

Distance approx. Will check it later.

Running in the afternoon heat, starting with a nice dose of hayfever from mowing the lawn. Felt awful the whole way. Felt foot from about 100m in, disappeared for a while, came back more noticeably for the last 5-6 minutes. Crap. Have to think about a plan of attack here...

Just over half on the beach.

Have pulled up ok from the swim. Neck a bit sore, but other than a little arm tiredness, not much to report

Morning and afternoon commutes. Time approx. Afternoon headwind evil.

is it possible... has he gone mad... what is theat weird new colour in his training log???

Penny going swimming 3 times in a week and the fact that anaconda is on this weekend got me thinking that if I'm gonna do a few events like the off road tri and anaconda next year, I will actually need to be able to swim.

300m warm-up
4 x 50m on 1 min (46-58)
5 x 100m on 3 min (1:48-1:55)
500m easy (11:10)

was intending to do 10 x 50 but after barely scraping under a minute on the 4th one, I had to re-assess. Found a bit more rhythm on the hundreds, but will need some technique work to get even slightly competitive.

gonna be sore tomorrow.

Morning and afternoon commute. Horrible afternoon wind.

Run most of the way to school to see if foot can handle running yet. Only 1 week or so off 4 months since I hurt it, so it's about time...
Felt OK. How I pull up the rest of the day and tomorrow will be the real test.
Showed my new 30 year old maturity by stopping and walking the last 2 km to school coz I thought I should just start with a 20 minute run. Sometimes I amaze myself...

C • ...and wiser. 2

Very slow but hard ride into a ridiculous headwind. Time approx. Had to stop toget some keys back fom PCYC and was abused for returning their bus without sweeping it... which I did personally. Perhaps I just don't have great cleanliness standards...

Well - its after dinner now and they jury's still out on my foot. Seems pretty good and I was naughty and played a bit of basketball, but not quite 100%. at some times it feels a little bruised under the ball of the foot, but it isn't hurting on toe-off, which was the main problem before... dunno. Wait and se. If it doesn't get worse I'll have another short bash on Saturday.

Still haven't fixed the Avanti. It was cold. I was tired and slow. Time is approximate (and irrelevant). Haven't really fwlt like doing any training the last couple of days, even though I really need to get back into it.
