8 AM
Swim (Swim!!) 35:00 [3] 1.6 km (21:52 / km)
shoes: Feet
I went for a swim! Met Vera and her rotto swim mates for breakfast, but first they made me swim from Cott to North Cott and back. Just secretly it was quite fun. I saw a million herring (I counted them) and a little sting ray, and a HUGE jellyfish which I got all wrapped up in but it turned out to be a person, who squeaked.

I am getting slower and slower. Plodded to my parents, then around East Perth to TTAC with John, then up Alexander dr/Gnangara/Ocean Reef rd and to work. Not looking forward much to riding home later!
Still like my bike though :-)
Howling Easterly today, which turned a bit Southerly later on just in time for my ride home.

Home again. I forgot to check my watch but that is conservatively about how long it felt - at least 3 hours of that was riding up Hale Rd at the end.

Rockingham seemed further away today. Or maybe there was more south in that crazy easterly than I had hoped! I was really enjoying the ride, so much so that after 40km in a straight line I missed my turn-off from the freeway. Then I looked at my watch for the first time and had a bit of a scare, had to pick up the pace a bit after that.

Oooh that hurt. It was hot, and hot, and windy. But nice riding and I'm glad I did even if I had to stop and push on the hills.
Run warm up/down 15:00 [2]
Just the warmup and run throughs, I was a bit tired for some reason. Then I did a heap of stretching and lay on the grass watching all the overmuscled athlete types running in circles wearing little more than heart rate monitor straps. mmm....
And then we ate pizza which was tasty too.

Got reminded at the last minute that I could not smash those pesky triathletes because I had already promised to ride Jess to work.
Gallop-a-gallop-a-gallop-a-gallop.
She was a bit slower than usual today.
On the way back I rode my bicycle, and went the longer way since I had heaps and heaps of spare time before the dentist appointment. So I ended up late for it.

Keeping Alive (John) 20:00 [2]
shoes: Feet
Spent a nice evening practicing my yoga breathing while watering the organic veggie patch, and harvested some spinach and parsley for John's dinner.

Note
Oops I fell back off the training wagon. I really really meant to today - woke up for the 5.15 ride and decided that was silly and I would ride to work at 10.30 instead. Then I went to Ikea (silly!) and got very flustered and confused and lost and waited in a queue for ages and by that time I didn't even have time to drive home and drive to work! So I had to stop at Target to buy a top to match the skirt I hoped was still in my office.
So no riding. I will call it a taper for John's triathlete smash-fest tomorrow morning.

From the car place in East Perth to work. Lovely morning to be riding a bike but legs were a bit weary from yesterday and I had a nearly-head-wind which was just all too much. I saw Jacko on the freeway north path which spurred me on for about 4 seconds, then I went back to my tired pootle.
Note
Interesting that the cost of getting my radiator fixed (again) is almost exactly my 1/3 of the rat race prize money. Serves me right for gloating perhaps...

Back into the wind to East Perth with no energy and tired pathetic legs.
