Couple of days in Adelaide has meant I have been really slack on the blog entries. Got a swim session in last Friday, did a lunchtime ride on Sunday (missed out on camping due to the weather, no run on Monday, squeezed in a quick 5kms in Adelaide around the Torrens river and then back to Hurts today for th 4x2km set along Hickson Rd. Not ideal prep for the triathlon on Sunday but best I can do under the circumstances. Stats for the last week's activicties are:

Tuesday Ride, Thursday Hills
Finally Rob C and I got out on Tuesday for a ride and enjoyed a nice wee trip down to La Per and back. Rob certainly kills it on the hills but that seemed to backfire for his lunchtime Hurts session. Stats for the ride are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/275879446
Meetings prevented any run at lunchtime yesterday and could get out in time today for the Rushcutters session, so just made it to the Argyll Hill set - possibly my least favourite set on the program. Only 6 of us out including Jonathan, Dave Casey and Stu. Ran 8 reps with Stu and of them sat around the 2.40 mark except for the 4th where we did a 2.32 and that screwed us for the rest. Felt really tough today and stats are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/275879434.
Meant to be camping at Coledale this weekend but bad weather forecast for tomorrow night and Saturday morning, so may well be able to make the long run. Travelling to Adelaide for the first half of next week, so will miss out on Hurts sessions until Thursday.

Weekend and Monday
Did the Hurts swim session on Friday and got a bit smashed. Very happy to be holding roughly 1.50/1.45 pace for the 100m. Did about 1.5kms all up and felt it. Garmin really doesnt like the water - all over the place and reckons I did 4.5kms in 40mins - http://connect.garmin.com/activity/274819564.
Got out for the the long Saturday run at 7am with MC, Rob C, Jit, Ben and Michael Ho and then had Timmy join us for the second lap. Just did 18kms and felt really weak until about 12kms where it started to come good and had I not had to get home for 8.45, I would have done the full two laps. Stats from Saturday are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/274819546 and the end to a biggish week for me.
Out today for the Monday run and a very easy pace at just over 4.40 and managed to get in 11.25kms for a 12km session all up. Some great results from the track 5km on Saturday night Tom doing a 15.30 and Laura doing a 17.36 among the highlights. Stats for today at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/274819536
Have booked in a ride with Rob C for the morning - 3rd time lucky hopefully!

Wed and Thurs
Didn't get out at all on Tuesday due to rain in the morning and then work prevented getting to Pilates at lunch, so felt pretty good yesterday doing the long run and first one for a while. Had done a morning swim of roughly a km for the first time in a while. Did 15kms on the route out to Centennial, single loop and then back with just 5 of us including MC, Rob C and Russell. Stats for yesterday at
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/273126073. Out to Rushcutters today and a far bigger group with MC, Laura, Rob C, Jit, Rusell and Mike Race making a comeback. 10 x 400s today and tried to do them all hardish and very happy with two new pbs of 3.16 and then 3.13 pace for a lap. Felt knackered afterwards and could impact the ride to La Per with Rob in the morning - weather permitting. Stats for today at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/273126055

Just a quickie
Been slack on the blog with Anna being away for the weekend and having to do a few hours at night to keep on top of work - mind you I''d rather do that than miss my lunch sessions.
Did the Hickson Road reps last Thursday but had forgotten the Garmin so only have a rough idea that we were doing about 3.35 pace for all of them. Jit was flying and stuck with the fast group for the last rep - mind you he trashed all his good work by referring to me as last lap Craig!
Managed a 1km swim on Friday while working from home and the kids were at school and it felt good.
Out today for the Monday run and a hugh crowd. Stayed up the front for most of the session but just came back to CQ due to avo meetings. Happy with just on 4.30 for average pace and was talking most of the way around. Stats for today are at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/272163503.
Going out for a La Per ride with Rob C tomorrow morning - sods law that I find a local Hurts riding partner a month before he heads back to Ireland. Anyway, will see how we go tomorrow - I might be glad he is heading off.

Crap Corp Cup
Not happy with corp cup performance over last two weeks - have felt a lot faster that the 24.20's I have posted and are a lost slower than I should be doing given the speed work put in over the last few months. Getting frustrated.

Friday and Monday
Just did an easy 7/8kms on Friday with MC and couple of others as I had a 1.30. Good easy pace and had planned to do 14/15kms with the squad on Saturday however the very inclement Sydney weather put paid to that when the alarm went off at 6.15. Stats for Friday at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/269571403 and a very lean week.
Got out today for 13kms and a huge group of about 20-25 and stayed on the front pretty much all the way round as I was dropping off at the Opera house. Legs felt fresh and achilles pain seems to have reduced and move towards the base of the calf. Nice pace and felt strong towards the end although quite intrigued where Garmin got my heart rate as I wasn't wearing the monitor! Stats for today at http://connect.garmin.com/activity/269571390 and aiming for a morning swim and pilates at lunch time, with corp cup on Wednesday and a ride later in the week.
