Head down and just getting on with it. That’s my story over the last couple of weeks. I’ve not been so active on social media as just don’t have the time for it.

I’ve been running pretty regularly and starting to get out on the bike. But I’ve not swam in a couple weeks. Starting to miss it, until I feel the water temps! 🥶

Have almost fully unpacked from the move. There’s light at the end of the tunnel!

Handicap race. Try as I might I couldn’t quite catchup before the finish line!

Indie has being kind and stayed with me until near the end 😆 Josh pipped me to the line and Tayla on the other hand took the win and is still flying well after the finish! 🏁

Does closing the eyes block the discomfort? 😆Lots of running today. Starting off with some km before parkrun as part of a long run. Then this afternoon a 8km cross country scratch race.

Ended up running into second overall (my handicap was a little lenient), with 3:40/km avg pace.

Hammy is feel a bit of niggle. Need to keep being diligent with my S&C to stay on top of it!

There are many benefits of just getting outdoors without any specific training goals. For one it’s a great stress reliever, two aids in mental clarity, three is good for your health, four helps create good habits.. and the list can go on.

In short try to find some time every day to do something active, even 10mins is better than nothing. Even if you are busy it will help you be more productive 👍

Can’t wipe the smile off my face running. 😅🏃‍♂️

With still unpacking from my move, I’ve just found it easiest to just go for a run. It’s so simple to throw on some runners and get out the door. Testing running with a pack on my long run.. fits like a 2nd skin 👌

35 days till #uta100

Packing and moving.. a monumental task. I’ve got my bikes.. not sure where the families bikes are going 🤔😂

I’ve not been training so much during the move. I need to remember that it’s all stress/load on the body. Trying to push myself with training at present is fairly unproductive or possibly result in getting injured. So it’s a matter of keeping everything easy at the moment!

Was nice to finally get out to exercise since the move.. unpacking is still ongoing!

First time doing the Shellharbour parkrun and it didn’t disappoint. There was a big turnout!

It’s a full on cross country course starting at an outlook and descending downhill to run along the beach. Then it’s a grind back up the 50m elevation to the start point. 😅 was fortunate to get the win, in a touch over 19mins. Effort was like a low/flat 17min at the parkrun I used to attend!

We came, we tried, and we’ll have to try again!

Was hoping to put together a sub 17min parkrun with @indiethesuperbeagle but I should have known while waiting for Indie to 💩(she’s very particular and it took almost 10mins!) that the odds were against us.

While I waited for Indie we missed the start. This made the first km quite tricky as we negotiated the crowds. Indie is a follower not a leader, which makes the effort more challenging. About 2-2.5km in I blew up in fairly spectacular fashion dropping way off pace. I think my focus on strength this last week probably wasn’t ideal for getting Indie a PB 😂

There’s next time though, but I don’t know when. My new local parkrun is on state park and dogs are not allowed.

Who’s excited that it’s Friday? The suns out and it feels good.

Always good getting to the end of a solid week. Any exciting plans for the weekend? @indiethesuperbeagle and I are going to have a crack at going sub 17 at parkrun.. not sure if my legs have it in them currently, but can only try!

Bike position is a constant work in progress. At times I feel I’m pretty good, but when it gets tough (as I fatigue or riding up hill like pictured) I often find myself shortening/ hunching up.

Something to think about working on over the off season.

On another note, how long (time) am I into this bike leg? 😁

Popped into Balmain Sports Medicine this week to get some guidance on addressing my weaknesses for uta100.

If you say 100km really fast it doesn’t seem that bad, and I realise I’ve really no idea what I’ve got myself into. But my chances of success (finishing) are greatly improved not trying to do it all alone.

You can’t control everything (like the weather), but this is a good thing. Just focus on the few things that are in your control.

No black lines..

Looking forward to getting more comfortable in the open water soon. Settlement has finally been called for our new place which is much closer to the water 💦

I love the smell of rain.. but can’t say I love being caught in it.

It’s basically been raining all day here in Sydney. Id hoped to go for a swim but was really unmotivated as I’m a wimp when it’s cold. What’s the best way to warm up though? Go for a run thats what!

So I decided to run to the pool, do my swim and run home. My own mini aquathon with the slowest transitions ever. Still took all the motivation I could muster. However even though I got really wet.. like I couldn’t tell whether I was still swimming or not, I enjoyed the break from work and getting out!
