A swim with a difference...

After 2 weeks of rest and recovery as per Coach TA's instructions, it has been very nice to get moving again this week :-D

Fri: easy 5.5k walk

Sat: rest & volunteering at the Panthers tri club race in the afternoon. Mango & I were on the swim exit which saw me have not one but two refreshing, yet accidental, falls in the lake. How embarrassing!

Sun: headed up to the Blue Mountains to join a couple of Wild Women on a recon of stage 2 of the Wild Endurance 100k course. After a bit of a car shuffle, we set off from near the skyway in Katoomba and made our way to the old hospital at Wentworth Falls. It was very misty and overcast in the morning but it soon cleared to a fine, clear day. A great day though my glutes were reminding me on Monday that I had done nothing for the last 3 weeks except sit! Finished with 21.7k-


Mon: rest

Tue: easy 5.5km walk

Wed: strength / core session in the gym

Thu: rest

Fri: interval bike session (38mins)

Another rest day tomorrow (Sat) which will be spent spectating at the Six Foot Track marathon. I am really excited that the race is on again but sad that I'm not doing it. Oh well, maybe next year (*she says crossing everything*)

MTD:
Walk - 41.2k

And i have no doubt you will be doing SFT next year. It was great to see you on Saturday even if I was a little worse for wear. And i did manage to grab a coffee a bit later - it did help a little! See you next month.

I'm sure you'll soon be flying along and feeling great! I'm looking forward to running with you soon.

Good thing about next year is you'll have to enter before December to make the field :)
