Training - Sunday 9th Aug - Sat 15th Aug 09

Sunday- Still skiing


Monday - Felt a bit tired today from weekend but got a good 1hr/1hr10 kayaking session on Avon. Very windy at times and a bit of chop which made it more interesting. Felt quite smooth.

View of Cave route. 200m+ of climbing in 5.5km run!





Tuesday - Run at night up cave route in dark with Fly. Found it hard as ever on way up but ok. Slow on way down as headlight fading a bit.

Followed this by 3*400m at 90% with 100m jog in between

Wednesday - Cycle ride to Cashmere>Dyers Pass>Summit Rd>home. About 31km with 650m+ of climbing

To give some idea of the climbing here's a profile of the ride:

Thursday - Rest

Friday - 1:10 kayaking on Brass Monkey course on Waimak. River up a bit. Less wobbly than last visit but still long way to go. Went with Marty

Saturday - Ride out to Lincoln with John McKie- 75kms at about 30kmh(18.5mph). Pretty flat ride (only a couple of short climbs). The rest involved hanging on to John's back wheel and then for about 10% of the time setting the pace. Bit fast and furious for me but good to have someone push me on bike.
