Hi S-2-B Lek Lek (*waves*) :-)
Feeling very tired this week. Looking forward to a few days off over Easter next weekend & then another few days off in beautiful Port Mac in a couple of weeks :-)
Tuesday
AM: 45mins bike session on the trainer at cadence 85+. My cadence sensor decided to work today for some reason which was handy.
Met Rags & R after work to attend a presentation by Andrew Lock about his climb of Annapurna 1 last year (the first by an Australian). Fascinating & stunning. The statistics for this mountain are incredible. Only something like 150 people have summited (and 50-something have died trying) since 1950. Everest, in comparison, has had over 3000 summits since 1953. Crazy stuff. What really fascinates me about this are the mental aspects to it. How on earth do people manage, control & direct their fear under those situations...
Wednesday
PM: 1.8k swim at Cook & Phillip. I had to improvise a little towards the end of the session when squads took over most of the pool. Felt a bit flat - it was all a bit of a struggle.
Thursday
AM - spent the night at Chez E & B again which meant I had the absolute luxury of sleeping in until 6am (bliss!) before going out for my first 45min run (6.83k) in 8 long months. Centennial Park was beautiful this morning. Things are going well (touch wood!)
PM - massage
Felt very tired during the course of the day. Despite getting 8 hours sleep (unheard of for me mid-week). I don't think I'd eaten enough food during the first half of the day.
Friday
Rest day :-)
Saturday
AM - another 45mins run (7.12k). Very very happy with this run. A bit more distance than Thursday's run but on a much tougher course. I felt really strong & pushed the pace on some of the hills. Happy happy days :-)
MTD: S - 5.3k + B - 27.55k* + R - 39.19k
* long rides & races only

It's a great feeling to be back doing some reasonable distance runs again isn't it:)
We'll see if we can organise something for this week again.
He spoke in Canberra - I couldn't make it. Good radio interview though. He said they did a 'practice' high altitude mountain just before, to acclimatise, so they could ascend quickly. He also said he wouldn't do it again - too dangerous.
Nice 7.12k :)
ohhh i would've loved to hear AL speak.
jealous.
again ;)
