mtbing in majura. cracker day, cracker company.

6am wasnt an early enough start evidently as most of the cousins were already up and chomping at the bit so could only fit in a quick jog before the carnage began!

morning cruise round stromlo with barto. lots of the trails were rutted as from the rain so pretty bumpy ride at times.

red hill. wanted to do a longer loop but felt all weak and dizzy so struggled home.

mtb in majura pines. left about 12:45 just after the pissing rain had stopped so it was beautiful, filthy and technical riding. only 2 crashes which is good because the rain had left a lot of exposed rocks.

i definately left the cycling legs in NZ. i was struggling riding home.

roadie today. feeling pretty dead and unenthusiastic but some ipod beats and my new cycling jersey were enough to keep the pace solid.

awesome getting back on the bike. mtb from home to blackie round bruce ridge for a while then back home through uni. felt great and really smashed myself. its sad how much i miss my bikes.

cruisey run around Arakoa on the banks peninsula near christchurch. did a day trip here today and stupidly for the 3rd time nearly ran out of fuel on dodgy dirt roads.
looking forward to coming home on wednesday

C • coming back? 1

C • Rain 1

run in queenstown. round the back of ben lomond and then into town over the summit. lots of climb and felt really smashed at the end

kepler track 60km. had to run from te anau which added a boring 5km lake bash at the start. awesome and impressive areas. didnt take enough food and hit the wall something savage on the 16km cruise down a valley towards the end. decided to jag the final 9km back to the control gate in favour of the bus from rainbow beach. great day. not feeling too bad now either. the 4:37 record is pretty damn impressive.

did what any self respecting aussie would do after by having beers and pizza in the spa and practising german pick up lines on some swiss girls. i love being on holiday.
walking the routeburn on the weekend then off to queenstown

have had a horriböle pain in mz foot the last few dazs making it hard to even walk. decided i needed to see how it was and if i had a chance of doing these runs i have planned for the sth island. run on mt victoria, in shitloads of pain, not looking good
