Bike (super long path) 4:09:51 100.75 km (24.2 kph) +769m
ahr:136 max:166 rhr:59 slept:8.9 weight:66kg shoes: Giant TCR Adv 1 Disc (black)
M7 Cycleway (Parramatta Park<>Camden Valley Way, Prestons). 16°C. TE 3.4.
Longest ever ride. Waited to do my first 100km ride until after I bought my new bike. Perfect opportunity with the latest lockdown cancelling all organised sport in Greater Sydney. Woke up early but Bethany told me that new lockdown rules said I could only exercise within my own LGA (Hornsby). After going back to bed for another hour and then a late breakfast I tried to find the rule without success. Bethany couldn't find the rule anymore either. We think it must have been posted on the government website in error and removed overnight. Started smoothly. Only passed by 2 cyclist on the way out. Took a GU or SIS energy gel every hour. Cycleway quite busy but most people well behaved. General fatigue hit me around the 70km mark. Passed more often on the way back. Got back to my car just on the 4-hour mark but had to do a slow lap around the park again to find another 2.5km to reach the 100km goal.

Headlines: Lockdown for two weeks - Sydney ordered to stay at home - New restrictions for regions / Total Tomination - Unfettered Tommy blitzes them left, right and centre (State of Origin II, league)

Berowra<>Berowra Waters Ferry. Still tentative on the descent, especially where the shadows had kept the sun from drying the road from last night's rain. 30" behind my CR, but a PB on segment 8. 18°C. TE 3.0.

ahr:145 max:160 rhr:71 slept:6.2 weight:66kg shoes: Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 33 (blu)
Foxglove Oval, Mt Colah. 5 x 1km laps with a 500m warm down. Repeat of the session from 19 May. I wanted to average 5:15 but started out a little fast and couldn't maintain my pace on the hill. Having pumpkin soup for lunch may not have helped either. Laps were (5:15, 5:21, 5:28, 5:17, 4:59) so I ended up five seconds over despite the fast closer. New season best for 5km by 4" (27:18). 16°C. TE 2.8.

ahr:139 max:154 rhr:69 slept:5.9 weight:66kg shoes: Giant TCR Adv 1 Disc (black)
First ride with the new rear cassette. The 4 extra teeth on the low gear means I can turn the pedals over more easily when climbing. The 2-teeth spacing of the higher gears is more defined now than the old 1-tooth spacing. It's much more obvious now if I am in the wrong gear. 13°C. TE 3.1.

Trails wet and slippery today after rain on the weekend and this morning. Glad I found a nice window of clear weather to have a hit out. 14°C. TE 2.8.
