Nearly forgot to take my GPS this morning, got just down the road before I remembered and went back for it, which was fortunate since I found I'd also left my lunch on the kitchen bench, had a quick search and eventually recalled where I'd left the GPS, on my MTB ready for Fridays BUOS (bike unprepare of shame).
Had remembered to put my HR strap in, but wasn't diligent enough to put in one which actually works.
Temp at Swanbourne before I left work was 39 degrees. Very small group of O types at Sticky's, eventually Andre turned up and eventually we got going on a slow warm up.
I was feeling a bit off at the end of the warm up, I think some throat lurgys had worked their way down to some stomach lurgys.
Plan for the session was 2 x 2.6km (double loops) with 90 sec recoveries.
First lap in 6:03 - pace 4:30/k
2nd lap 6:05 - pace 4:28/k (yeah slight variation in dist. makes things go funny).
Andre kept up. Pretty much the same pace as last week when I was pretty useless. Was pretty close to puking at the end of the first rep and with the recovery (drink/cool off) approaching 5 minutes I called a pike and we just did one more loop as a cool down.
I was contemplating today that I think I've been sick during or leading into just about every rogaine I've done in the last year or so, starting with NZ. .... and when I got home tonight I found .... my old lost wedding ring had reappeared out of nowhere, Belinda had found it on our bedroom floor. Now I'd lost the ring before going to NZ and I had presumed it was somewhere around Guildford where I'd done a practice run with Ann on the 6hr rogaine course.
So I'm starting myself a new superstition, that finding and having ,my old wedding ring will bring me some good luck.
