2... (Game on!)

Well after last week's blog post which resembled War & Peace, this one will be (very) short.

It has been a big week of rest (and even more excess) after tri camp last week. Caught up on lots of sleep and family time whilst hanging out with my family at Port Stephens for a couple of days. I have felt (very) flat all week. I'm not fighting off a cold but I haven't felt 100% either..

So in absolute contrast to last week, this week I have only done a couple of short (10-15min) recovery & regen sessions and on Wednesday a coffee ride from our apartment at Soldiers Point around the coastal (ie, scenic) road to Nelson Bay before returning via the main road & finishing with a leisurely detour via the cafe. Lovely morning for the ride. Legs felt good on the flat but had little, if anything, going uphill. 30.1km. 83mins.

I was due to race today (Sunday) at the Panther's club race. But given the Alpine Classic is only 2 weeks away, getting rid of my sore throat and going into the next 2 weeks fully recovered is the main priority.

Of course it is also 16 weeks today until the Port Mac Half Ironman - sorry 70.3 - but I'm trying not to think about that right now....

Bike: 129.29km

OMG Jen, my stomach just did a back flip when you mentioned only 16weeks to go.

That was short. Thought I'd opened the wrong blog ;) 16 weeks! You're in more of a panic than Ruth, who has 90 days until the marathon.
