MTB 2:45:00 [3] 45.0 km (3:40 / km)
slept:6.0 shoes: Yeti ASR

Meant to be doing a run/MTB in jarrahdale this morning. Unfortunately I forgot (no, seriously) my sneakers so couldn't do any sneaking but could only ride my bike. Lap 1 was a fun one on my own except at the start when i rode with the runners for a bit. I didn't want to admit that our paces were frighteningly similar, so i went a different way to them after a while. Lap 2 was a 5min lap of the carpark to avoid some really bad humour from john and boltboi. Lap 3 started off with 7 people but quickly dwindled to 5, then 3, then back to 5. John and Pete fell off the back then took a wrong turn, so after some random riding the rest of us did the 12h track backwards, thinking we were so clever and were bound to find them. Unfortunately john and pete are clever too, and were also riding the track backwards. So we all saw all of the other 30 riders out there but not each other. Lap 4, after we finally recongealed, was a fun fast lap of the bits we hadn't already done. All in all good fun. Stew riding very strongly, Boltboi too. John and Pete on a mission to smash each other.
Yeti riding really well :)

Roadie (commute) 47:00 22.0 km (2:08 / km)
shoes: Mongoose Roadie

To grandma's and back with john, who was on his orange creaking bike again. John was worried i would slow him down so i rode really hard to avoid disappointing him. I must have failed though cos i could never even see him up ahead.
We ate some lunch and my small nephew tried to eat john. Then we came home, which took longer.

Run (dog jog) 30:00 [2]
shoes: Metallic blue Asics

Another hour-ish trotting around mapping with haggles. He was really naughty today, and not nearly as interested in standing around looking at vegetation boundaries as you would expect an energetic dog to be.

Roadie (commute) 7:30 [1] 4.0 km (1:53 / km)
shoes: Mongoose Roadie

Rolled down the hill to Lynn's place. Called home for a lift back up the hill later!

Paddle (play) 45:00 [2]
slept:8.0 shoes: Fenn XT

Matilda Bay. Not sure how long i was out there for- had a potter on my ski and then a quick play on fletch's new one. Fletch didn't need his ski cos he was doing some last minute swim training for the anaconda. Wil was on his first and last anaconda training session and did very well.

Run (dog-map-run) 45:00 [3]
shoes: Metallic blue Asics

Not sure exactly how much was running but out of 2hours i think 45min running is about right. Haggles and i spent the afternoon mapping, just for old times sake. We got swooped by lots of stupid birds, made friends with some border collies and had a lot of suspicious looks from old ladies. Haggles managed to rip the lead out of my hand and make a desperate break for a nearby local fair but i was too quick for him.
Oh and bring on Nav Dash! Map 1 part 1 chapters 1.1-1.4 looking good so far. 4 maps shouldn't take long at all...

Roadie (commute) 37:00 [2] 16.0 km (2:19 / km)
slept:6.0 shoes: Mongoose Roadie

Slept horribly. Dragged myself out of bed to ride to UWA to meet Vera. Who had not dragged herself out of bed. With typical motivation i immediately bailed on the run as well and had coffee and raisin rolls with parents instead.

Roadie (commute) 34:00 [3] 13.0 km (2:37 / km)
shoes: Mongoose Roadie

Evil stonking head wind... I planned to ride all the way to the beach but stopped at home instead and got a lift

Run intervals (beach) 40:00
shoes: Feet

I guessed all of the times above. Longish warmup - a few hard efforts - a few harder efforts - usual beach session plodding - short cool down. Jess ran well in the sprints then had to leave. Ian was strong and fast throughout. John toyed with the Hamster and the Hamster chased his own tail. I plodded. Plod, plod. Do hamsters have tails?

Strength/Core (beach session) 20:00 [2]
shoes: Feet

Usual stuff. We forgot to do the plank and did it at the end instead, and it was the hardest plank i've ever done. Everything hurt. John and Ian got all wet when an overenthusiastic wave came up the beach. I ran away like a girl (and got an incidental 5 sec break!)

Roadie (commute) 1:16:00 [3] 33.5 km (2:16 / km)
slept:7.0 shoes: Mongoose Roadie

I rode the long way to work today, to avoid the swans. In the absence of any real training this week, i pushed the hills, so feeling a bit tired now. Got smacked in the head three times, twice by magpies and once by a rogue galah. Had a VERY close call with a flock of cockatoos as well, and i saw some dolphins but they didn't get too close to my head. Perhaps the swans are the lesser evil.
Didn't see many roadies going my way so instead i entertained myself Top Gear style, by seeing how close i could get to pedestrians who stepped out in front of me.

To work the short way

Roadie (commute) 37:00 [3] 15.0 km (2:28 / km)
shoes: Mongoose Roadie

Slow pootle towards running, zigzagging through bits of Herdsman which i thought had bike paths which in fact do not. Which makes riding slower.

Run 47:40 [4] 9.2 km (5:11 / km) +353m 4:21 / km
shoes: Metallic blue Asics

Hard run, for me, it was very hilly and john was on a mission. Up and down we went. Urgh. I was determined to stay at the front though to show up the tall curly bloke who said "oh, are YOU running tonight..." when we started.
