Yes, believe it or not, the unfathomable psyche of the sleep train has done a switch-a-roo. Tuesdays long-awaited return to the sun valley home run was put off for another week, poor light meant we stayed on the bitumen and headed up to springwood and back, running in opposite direction.
Wednesday had a massage to work on the lower back and ITB, both pretty tight after a couple of runs on the mtn bike. The afternoon, when baby-sitting duties were delegated, allowed me to get on the mtn bike and hit up Blue Gum. This time doing it anti-clockwise, which meant we had to climb Bee's Nest. I think that one is going to become a regular training run to work on my hills.
Thursday morning was a run with Donk, busting out a little under 10km (haven't measured yet). Ran across the Kiwi doing it tough with the Dog. I suspect we ran at a faster pace to my normal morning sessions with MMC, not entirely sure why, but it wasn't a conscious descision.
Friday evening took the mtn bike out after a tune at the shop, just to make sure things were working. Same again Sat morning. Nothing big, just enough to turn the legs over and go through the gears.
Sunday was early start to head out to Wiseman's Ferry for the Tre-X off-road triathlon event. Joined the Fat Kiwi, Deano and the Sister for a bit of an off-road sampler. Enjoyed it thoroughly.
Dr Phil posts his first (age-group) victory in a triathlon. The secret to success, I've discovered, is picking the events that no one else can be bothered to go to.
Swim: 7:34 1st in category, 11th overall - used the kiwi as a bumper to keep me from running aground.
Ride: 1:02:43 1st in category, 9th overall - including a spectacular over-the-bars ditch into a creek on the downhill section.
Run: 25:25 2nd in category, 15th overall
Total: 1:35:43
Got myself a Salomon Hydra-Pack for my troubles.
