76km ride (my second longest)
Cycled 76km in 3hr 53min from Beechboro to Berrigan Drive (South Lakes) and back...but reduced it by 8km...(caught train from mt lawley to Bassendean) cos I had to get home to watch western derby on TV which FREO dominated !!!!!yeaaah...alright.......
My second longest ride ever and would have been 84km (about the same as my longest ride ever ...the one from Joondalup to Cottesloe and back 3/12/2003), if I had ridden all the way back cos my cateye cycle computer said 42km when I stopped at Berrigan drive for a Gatorade...saw someone with an Ironman triathlon top on while coming back alongside the Kwinana freeway....
Also another cyclist on an expensive racer (not like my creaky mountainbike)and UK top? hooning past lots of sights and sounds a little dehydrated by end and used a GU...very nice too I think I like the taste even more than the hammer Gels...
Decided not to run the Perth City to Surf this year although I did enter on Friday 25/8, I felt a bit of a twinge in the achilles while having a bit of a kick to kick of the footy with KL on the evening of 26/8...so decided not to risk achilles, and to ride (the 76km) instead of run the 12km City to Surf...which I am convinced was a better option on the day....
Wednesday 30/8 went for an early morning 2km run (9min 46...HR 168) to Hull Park and back before getting ready for work...
Sunday 3/9;
Been busy being a marshal for WA Marathon Club for the 5km support event (for the Perth Half Marathon) no time to train this weekend as yet busy watchin footy and helpin KL get ready for her hair trial for wedding and Fathers Day things so far today...other big news is I have to get a new job again cos I couldnt hit the KPI targets at work....(Key Performance Indicators...) ....41 days until wedding.....
Kicked the footy with Dad for half an hour at Wungong on Fathers Day, a lot of fun kicking torps,stabs, drop punts, drop kicks, screw kicks and bananas...running a bit and some serious marking..a good sweatsoaked time..First time for awhile I have had a really good solid game of kick to kick...although I did have a bit of a kick to kick with my fiancee KL the other week...also met some yamatji people from mullewa there also...a nice unique afternoon that made me feel like I was half my age again (i.e about 16)...nice....
