Training Log Archive: Eon

just a quick recovery run i tried to fit in the morning.

in ballarat for this day.
i was getting sick of the gloating back at home about g-fry's record time on the terrain loop - 6.57
so i set out to completely shatter this weak time with a sub 5min time.
i was feeling kinda bad on the big hill in the warm up.
did a bit of streching when i arrived at the big start archway with all the cheering fans.
went for another little jog with a few surges to get the speed going, then i was called up for my start time at 7.00.
the count down starts.... beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beeeeep.
im off!
anyway.. end of the story is i absolutly demolished geoffrey's time with a 6.13 of my own.
of cause, upon me telling bun, she now insists that i cheated and that the 40 metres i missed (as the garmin tells me) makes up for the 1.5min difference between me and her.

back in lorne for this one.
ive decided i really like the forest in lorne. its just so much better than treeless stromlo.
anyway this ride was a bit of a mish.
went out onto the back fire trails of lorne with g-fry
the way out had soooo many hills it dropped at least 6-7 degrees before we dicided to call it quits and head home.
knowing i had only gone half the distance i would ride that day, i wasnt very happy.
but, as the trail turned downhill, i started to enjoy it.
what took us about over one hour on the way out took about 20 minutes too ride back, seriously..
oh and of cause, i won the mountain stage over g-fry

putting out tapes for a neve terrain loop with max, todd, and mort
we drove up to macedon.
we each had to tape out a loop about 1.5k's in length.
my loop wasnt too good.
i got really disoriented in the forest and taped a long way off where i was meant to.
we didnt have time to run it because i had to go a catch a train.
so im not too sure if they like my section of loop...

out with max and tood this time.
we didnt leave our run super late today as me and todd had learnt our lesson.
just an easy recovery run..
did a loop out the back of their house in some pretty sweet forest

was going to go with mary and todd in the morning except she left real early without waking me and todd..
scopion woman!!

really early morning session with todd at his house.
this run was actually on tomorow, but it was meant for today so im going to log it as todays run.
me and todd set out at about 1am with high hopes for a good night session.
our excitement only lasted untill we walked out the front door into the freezing night.
but that wasnt going to stop us.
the lack of headlights didnt dampen our spirits though - the moon provided enough light.

and thats about where my good story telling ends... not much happened after that though
