I was thinking early in the week that I needed to do something fun and exciting so I have something to write on my blog. As my Base training is coming to a near, I thought it would be fun to slaughter the body with a ride to Scottsdale and back. I did this ride about two months ago and it took the wind out of my sails quick smart and in a hurry.
I did the ride about 40 minutes quicker than last time but it felt just as hard (funny that). I am now training with a heart rate monitor on and I was surprised to see how low my heart rate was on this ride. I thought something wasn’t quite right so I thought I should irritate Scotty Hunter about it (he must dread my name coming up on his phone with all my dumb-arse questions).
Luke talked me into riding with the Bike Central bunch Friday morning. It started well when I pulled into the church car park on Margret Street when I ran up the gutter in front of everyone. To make matters worse, I couldn’t for the life of me get my shoe back into the paddle. All the other riders must have been thinking “who is this numb nut”
I went to this lady who did a stretch session with me. She had me in positions I thought would be impossible to get into. My hips and gluts and extremely tight so much of the session was focusing on these areas. I walked out thinking it was worth every cent spent.
Weight management seems to be going along like a yoyo. I weigh myself everyday and when I am really good the weight pours off me but when I get in the chocolate groove (most days), the weight jumps back on. All in all, I lost another 1kg this week bringing my bright white chubby body to 83kg.
Week’s training totalled 12 hours.
