Road Bike (Floreat Renegades - short) 1:21:25 [4] 37.94 km (28.0 kph)
ahr:161 max:184
Meah, useless effort today.
Just as we were about to push off I realised I'd left my water bottle in the ute, so I had to race off and grab it no doubt to everyones annoyance.
Was already struggling to stay in contact along West Coast, and when Danger joined the group I went out the back (there seems to be a pattern forming here).
Took the shortcut over the bridge at Leighton and had time for a stretch at the top of McCabe St. Tried leading off as the rest of the group approached to try to rejoin a bit more smoothly, but just ended up feeling like a rabbit at the greyhounds.
Not sure exactly what Jake meant when he said don't worry everyone's tired now, as everyone caught up and dropped me again.
Don't really think I'm improving at the moment i.e. I can't see myself keeping up with the group anytime soon, let alone being able contribute to the groups workload. So do I put up with it, or put it on hold till I can have a month of concentrated effort on the bike? (right after paddling this month, then swimming, then probably running, should put riding nicely into the winter darkness and wetness.

Quick ride back to my ute in Floreat, nice and fast but avoiding effort.
5 PM
Running (Bold Park Terrain Loops) 39:56 [5] 6.3 km (6:20 / km)
Instructions were .. double loop with second faster than first, 3mins rest, single loop even faster, 4 mins rest, another double loop, 5 mins rest, another single loop (each loop about 1.8km)
10:18 10:12
10:09 - calf stiffened up near the end of the first single, finished the loop then called it quits. Jogged back some of the way back to the carpark, but mostly walked as the leg was too sore.
I blame the morning ride, since the same thing happened 2 weeks ago for the GCTT, so won't be doing the Tues morning ride next week.
Forgot to stop the GPS when I finished, oops.
