Another week of ups and downs

Well another week another late blog, this will be short and sweet.

A full week of swimming, finally and i'm really getting some good speed and technique back. Problem with swimming is it takes so bloody long tp progress! blergh but i am getting there! :)

Riding during the week suffered a little bit but i made up for it on the weekend. Killer killer road race on Saturday, back into B grade and it was a bloody tough! Ended up 4th overall chasing down the pack of three solo-er's to the line, was a really tough but a really good training set :). Sunday i had a 20k tt, down at Wandi. Seano and i met up rode there and hit it out. I wanted to average over 40kph, but just missed out 39 point something. Had to be happy though considering the effort i had put in on Saturday.

I had a couple of nice runs including and absolute smash-fest with seano on thurs midday, 10 x 1k repeats, i ended up doing them on 3.40's with seano hitting them up on 3.50's was toughhhh but so awesome. Unfortunately foot pain returned on Friday - in my fricken opposite foot, exact same spot and pain as the previous pain i was having. So i haven't been running since :/ just gotta be patient but the GC is getting closer and closer. I am confident though

Monday was back into the pool and a couple of beers in the arvo with one of my best mates Nips in the arvo, so good. Tuesday was a nice river ride in the morning, and some hill work on the bike in the arvo, so getting there gettingggg there.

Time to really start building and I'm pretty happy where i am headed :)

Keep smiling, keep happy, keep training, keep positive, keep it up right, keep doing what you want to do, keep it real

Oh and i have a new girlfriend, she's very pretty and she keeps me smiling :P

See you out there
