Rain Vs Heat?

A good consistent week of training that will reap benefits next month, more kms of "filling up the glass - without over filling it".

Two weekend long runs this wek as I felt fit enough and light enough to handle backing up. Sat was Glen to Wood - Spring with Dr Phil for the first 45 mins (and a guy called Zac who we stumbled upon on the oaks FT in the dark and rain with his pance down hanging a pee... very sus, but a nice bloke).

After trying to conserve as much energy on this Saturday LSD, and thinking more about the next days planned run, did 4k swim at Springwood pool (15 X 200s on 3 min cycle - with every one on exactly 2mins 46 seconds, accept the first rep on 2mins 45seconds- gotta love consistency!). On this run I felt like a karate student, not thinking about this run, but about getting through Sundays run "focus your punch through your victim, do not focus on hitting his head" - Hey, it made sense when i was running!

Sunday, yep RAIN at 5:38am!!! headed out in the rain to Faulco point, back to mums etc etc, finished in 4hrs 5mins, with the last 40 mins the real test on the legs up Golf Course Hill, then up the final insult up Bednal Avenue....Worked out this run is proably more than 50ks!!!

Interstingly, was chased by a Range Rover at St Columba's at 8am, when it did catch me, I got a 'Oh, its you Sleep Train, keep going we are looking for vandals'....
Swim: 9ks, Bike 30ks, Run 170+ks and 69.8kgs (Monday morning) with a few small niggles in hammies, and above right shoe lace, but no real sawness.
