Mon: 3km swim at squad tonight. I felt really strong in the water tonight; my stroke is coming together really well. I just need to work on increasing my stroke rate to increase my speed. Now where did I put those fast twitch fibres.....

Tue: always a hard session at 5am after only getting home from swim squad at 10pm. Anyhoo, I did it. 45mins bike (steady state) on the trainer because I wasn't quite organised enough to do it on the road. 16.8k. Av.C90

Wed: hard weights session this morning. I have absolutely fried my legs thanks to about 150 reps on various exercises. Tomorrow's bike session is going to be fun. Not.

Thur: 58min bike session on the trainer (including single leg drills and 6 x 4mins @ 30k/h). Very tired thanks to working at the gym last night & about a week of not sleeping well. Bring on the long weekend. 23.9k. Av.C88

Fri: nice start to the weekend. Left the office at 4.30pm (I am a public servant after all) & then headed to the pool for a 1.7km swim before later meeting with the wedding co-ordinator at Loxley to finalise the details :-))

Sat: rain this morning meant I resorted to the trainer in the garage (again) for my long ride this week. 2hr ride @ 65%HR (av.123) with 5mins at race pace (av.147). 45.8k. Av.C87.

Enjoyed the rest of the start of the long weekend with some time reading the papers (bliss!) before going to the movies (for the first time ever) to watch Mao's Last Dancer which was brilliant. Nice

Sun: rest day tomorrow (yippee!) which will start with a walk-through at our wedding & reception venue with our celebrant & photographer. It's all happening - can't believe that the wedding is next month!

Wednesday saw the end of September. My overall bike total was a bit low due to 2 weekends without long rides (thank to Emazon & our visit to Qld). But having said that, the last 2 weeks have been my biggest on the bike to date -
Swim: 12.4k
Bike: 254k

Bring on the recovery week !!

MTD:
Swim: 1.7k
Bike: 69.7k
