Thank you to everyone for your comments! Well I pulled up very well after last Sunday's adventure - no DOMs, no niggles. Happy days :-)
I sat down yesterday & worked on my goals for the next few months. It's a rather eclectic mix of trail runs, triathlons, open water swims, "aquathons", adventure races and MTB races. Variety, as they say, is the spice of life !
This week was a recovery week. I love them - especially when they involve 2 long boozy client lunches (one of which ended at 6.30pm!) and 3 dinners with family & friends. Yikes. Let's just say it's probably safe to assume that I've more than made up for the calories I burned through last Sunday ;-)
Monday
PM - easy (scenic) 20min swim with flippers
Wednesday
AM - up at 4.45am for a 45mins walk(!) to stretch out my legs. I don't think the weather has actually any warmer than it was the last time I was outdoors exercising at 5am - in July!
Friday
AM - up early again for an easy 30mins spin on Betty. Had a physio appointment but had to reschedule due to work
Saturday
AM - sleep-in :-)
PM - gym session followed by a 1.4k swim in a rather refreshing pool thanks to all the rain we've had this week !
Sunday
AM - first up was a sleep-in then a (scenic) 20min walk + 5mins run. Then after breakfast, the time had come to dust off Apollo, get off the bitumen & hit the trails again - woohooooooo ! I spent a very enjoyable 75mins working on my non-existent MTB skills along the Oaks Fire Trail & the Nepean Lookout trail in the Glenbrook National Park. And before anyone asks, no I haven't ridden down - then up - the causeway.
Yet ;-)

Aaarrrrhhhh, so even the walks are scenic now!
So, no more teasing, what are the rather eclectic mix of trail runs, triathlons, open water swims, "aquathons", adventure races and MTB races planned?
More detail please!
Yeah, I am with Hamburglar, we need to see the complete list please.
after reading the post my foremost thought was one of excitement ... for apollo getting out on the trail again.
yunno i think all this naming has corrupted my brain!
hope u enjoyed the ride too :)
and what h'burglar said - more detail please!
All that walking practise sounds like sekret 6' training ;)
Aaaah! Now I see where you were heading with the triathlon question!!!! There is certainly some variety in there - you won't get bored!
Looks as if your next season is going to have it's share of challenges and lots of fun! Great that you found an Xterra race in your area! Keep practicing...
can't wait to see what you will be up to!
