I have been busy getting the ducks aligned ready to start training. I have organised a program with thanks to Andrew Budge at Trysport. 15 weeks of training running as 2 weeks on 1 week off (or Adaptation as it is called). So this week is adaptation for me at present. I have also been busy organising my travel plans.
Not resting
On the weekend I competed again in an event but this one was some fun – 6 hours of fun I might add. I clearly have a strange idea of fun. It was an adventure quest run by boundless adventure. It involved essentially orienteering a course of mountain bike, canoe (inflatable) and run/ trek. I have to say my ability to stay calm and collected under pressure leaves a bit to be desired and my bull at a gate attitude essentially resulted in me having a few cuts on my legs. What was I thinking bush bashing to find the check point – why would they want to put the marker in the middle of the bush!
It was a bit of fun though and we were doing well until that point. I also learnt I am not good at paddling…. Or steering a boat but I am fit and that always counts for something.
This week's plan
So it is back into some exercise this week. Have a couple of massages, go for a few runs and a couple of rides in the hill of Perth. Mont Tremblant (which is pronounced Mon Tremblo) is hilly… essentially it's a ski resort with "choppy" hills. So getting some hill practice in is going to be needed.
Also need to get to fighting weights as although I have always said I aim for fit and fat…. The extra weight is not something you really want to lug up a hill on a bike if you can avoid it.
