I was dying by the end, but it's different to my normal ride (Freshwater up through Akuna Bay), where I normally get stopped by lights for the first 20k, the M7 was pretty constant with some rolling hills, i'll definitely be back. Backed it up with a 3.4k swim - slept like a baby last night! How did you go with that crazy magpie near the brickworks ? FM Link to post Share on other sites

softy 176 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Third ride since May and still trying to find reasonable routes in Delhi.

Flanman 2,472 Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 1st time since Port HIM that I have done what I would consider training. Last week was 4.6kms swimming; 24kms running and an hour gym. Trying to get on the bike this week however, it is only a short week for me. I am off to Broadbeach on Thursday arvo with a couple of mates to take out a friend who is not 100%. Golf Friday, races Saturday and the casino. Back home Sunday. Hopefully it won't be too painful coming into Nepean and WS HIM. FM 1 Link to post Share on other sites

softy 176 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 No smog at the moment. That will come as it gets cooler and more people burn stuff to stay warm. Like riding in all cities, I'm more worried about breathing in the pollutants you can't see. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

goughy 3,734 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I went for a bit of a cliffy shuffle this morning. 2min/1min shuffle/walk and it felt just friggin great. Don't know that I should have, but I really needed it. Was still really slow, only 8min/K average pace over the whole 3.3k. but it was so good. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
skel 542 Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 (edited) First rains in Cairns is such a long time. Nice chance for a wet cool session. 2km warm up and 2km cool down. Main set was 2x(4 X 500m). Goal was 2:05 to 2:10. Six under 2min and two just over, range 7 seconds. Edited September 19, 2017 by skel 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Ex-Hasbeen 8,122 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I did 1km swim this morning. Shoulders are sore, but it's the first training of anything I've done since early June. My local pool opens next week, so I thought I'd go to another that I've got a 3 year old 10 visit pass with 3 left, just to get a little fitness back before I start Monday. This is what I have waiting for me Monday when they reopen after a virtual complete rebuild of the pool. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ComfortablyNumb 1,123 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Longest ride in over 5yrs, 50kms @ 26kmh in 1:58 with the group training for the Gong MS ride.

Ex-Hasbeen 8,122 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Tried out the refurbished pool at Samford today. The last swim I had in it was 100 x 100 on 1:45. I'd swear they added 5m to the end of it when they rebuilt it over Winter, cause I couldn't even manage 10 on that cycle time today. Feeling very tired at this point, but glad I did it. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

ComfortablyNumb 1,123 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hour on the MTB around the UNE track at lunch. Strava PBs galore (but still crap compared to the fast guys & gals, though I suspect some have gone round on an RM125), due to the guys over on the offroad thread telling me to drop tyre pressure from about 40 to 25psi. "Your tyre's are too hard" is the dirty equivalent of "your seat's too high". Link to post Share on other sites

-H- 1,240 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I'm going to try a swim today and see how it goes. I can bend my leg now, so that should help. Late last week I ruptured a baker's cyst - did not know what that was or that I had one until my left leg blew up and I could hardly walk. Similar symptoms to dvt so they got me to inject myself with anticoagulants until I could get in for a scan. These things always happen on a Saturday afternoon! Hoping I can get back on the bike on the weekend, even if just for a spin. I hate to see good weather go to waste ☀ Link to post Share on other sites
Ex-Hasbeen 8,122 Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 2km swim this morning. Still feeling weak & sore, but getting slightly faster. I managed 5 x 100 on the same cycle as I did 100 x 100 earlier this year, but I was about 3 seconds slower per 100. Ouch! Goal to swim 6 days straight this week, have Sunday off, then slot into squad Monday morning. Link to post Share on other sites

Turts 2,980 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 First real go on my new MTB. Took it for a 25k spin on some easy trails yesterday, and today was 2 laps (22k) of the montainbike club course. Some parts more like trials than trails (even mostly taking the B line for beginners), but a lot of fun. Need to learn when to NOT pedal! Caught a few obstacles with pedals, and even the chainring on a couple of chunkier ones. 3 offs, so a few bumps and bruises. A proper set of knee/shin pads coming my way - but my old volleyball kneepads will be making an appearance for tomorrows go. Quite a lot of fun though!
