1hr 50 minutes riding the beautiful single-track and fire road trails of the Kinross Forest (mainly open pine with some eucalyptus...minimal undergrowth, would be a good area for a bike/ terrain run combo), and 1hr 10 minutes return from Orange
Orange Botanical Gardens test loop, perfect sprint training, rolling hills, variety of terrain, lots of changes of direction. Just came up with the loop last week, plan to do 3 laps every Wednesday. Only did 2 today though, easing back into training.
No I didn't die. However, after O-Ringen/COCs my life was crazy busy with trying to get my Masters thesis complete, which was down to the wire (handed it in the day before leaving Montreal...and a week later got on a plane to Australia). Now that I have moved continents it took me a while to settle in and I have been working a lot of 10-12 hour days on the new job (get picked up at 6:30 to 7AM, get dropped off at 6PM). In summary, my life has been crazy, but I hope to get some routine back including regular training.
