Sunday 1st - Friday 6th February

Sunday

AM Brick 90/14
Ride 89.42, 3:06, 28.7, 121 HR. This included 3 Bobbo hill reps which I was hurting on with the ride from the day before. The real average would have been a bit faster but generally it was a good solid ride from home with James, turning after Berowra and back via Bobbin Head.
Run 13.79, 1:00:24, 4:22 ave pace, 144 ave HR
I was fairly happy with the run with the further I went the faster I felt, got. I’m still not completely satisfied with the Garmin setup I’m running but will sort that. I didn’t run straight off the bike, there was around 20 minutes lost as I walked the dogs and put on the fuel belt for the run via the Spit to Manly to see the Cole Classic and a few of the guys who swam it! Nice breakfast, hot day, good run in hilly conditions.


PM
Cricket down at Artarmon nets. Was looking forward to a relaxing roll of the arms, Pete quickly extinguished my hopes as his bowling caused me to play some lofted drives aggravating a few of the locals (Kermit), but apart from that it was great to hit the ball again with after many months of not even being near a cricket bat.


Monday
AM
Abs
Slept in (On purpose) woke at 5:45, out of bed around 6:10 and that’s the longest I have stayed in bed for at least a month. Just wanted the break as the next 2 months of training seem relentless and never ending on the one hand, the other so close!
PM
Swim. 4.2km approx
Hopped in early with 1200m. Was trying to stay aerobic, hence the reason I haven’t put up the session. I basically chopped and changed between sets as I tried to keep up, fins on/off etc. I was pretty tired.

27km, 2:03, 4:34 pace, 133HR (Overall)

Feeling sore and tired in the swim holding 1:30'-1:35's for the 100's going on 1:40 which was a bit below what I would like.
Running around in the afternoon getting a new Wetsuit and trying to sort out all my gear for the weekends training.
