Training Log Archive: Bomb

Park race at Southbank and City gardens. Really good course and heaps of fun, but a bit scary running through the crowds - kids are so random! I also subconsiously decided that the course was too short and ignored 7 on the map and ran straight to 11 (I think I must have read one 1 as a 7) so added an extra km to the course.

Rode in and from the event from Wendy's place. She saw me battling the Toowong roundabout as she was driving home and picked me up just after - rescuing me from having to ride the hill at the start of Mt Coottha - thanks Wendy!!

Usual ride with the usual group. Didn't feel so great this morning, but at least my headache's gone. Nasty road rage incident made things interesting for a while.

Was planning on going for a run, but had a very bad headache all afternoon :( and yes, I know what chopper would say.

Rode out past Maroon. Very windy and very cold! Can't believe I was wishing I'd worn arm warmers on a midday ride on a sunny day in the middle of November!!

Long run out round sugarloaf. Wasn't as sore when I finishd this week, but I guess I ran a bit slower too. Very hot this afternoon - heaps of storms on the horizon, but only hot wind where I was :-(
Ran with a horse for a while - it seemed to have decided that my pace was a lot friendlier than the pace its rider was suggesting, and trotted along beside me for a km or so.
Also discovered that we have a large population of green tree frogs living in the gutters of our house - I was outside stretching just after sunset, and it started raining frogs! The jump out of the gutters onto the concrete!! and then hop off to chase insects! Crazy stuff!!

Didn't make it out training today, but went swimming at waterfall gully. Quite nice, but I don't think the creek has flowed for a while and it could do with a bit of a flush out. Hope it rains some more!

Slow ride out to Mt Alford with Helen.
