The start of it all, the come back is on

Back in the groove, 2 weeks back and have been getting the body back in the groove of training, first week dropped 1.5kg of the kiwi kai, which was needed.

Up coming races Trex 29/3/09 Geoquest 5/6/09

First Week, 100kg started running 5km each night with a 15min indoor bike training straight after, with swim on Sunday, paddle Friday a lazy 6km.

This week, 98.5kg Body is starting to settle into running each night so joined sleep train and bull ant on a easy run (so I could keep up) on Tuesday morning I hung on until the sun valley climb, they just cruised away out of the mist of the valley. So 45min of the 65min I was happy. The call up came through for Thursday morning the blue mountain marathon clinic, but the body was shot and needed R&R so slept in. After Tuesday's run my knee was doing weird things dam rugby injuries! floating cartilage on the move, but settled down 24hrs later, maybe a reminder to ease back into.
Swim Wed, and Fri this now coming along well, just need to refine the technique now the strength is coming back,
MTB Thurs night through blue gum, bob the builder spanked me up the hills so need more power work for the bike (no real surprise there). First real ride back so I know what lance Armstrong was going through when I first got back on his bike for the comeback.

So my comeback is on.

The Fat is Back


Christmas was good for the fat kiwi, good kia in nz helped the waist line expand, had a 2 week crash course in getting fit before the Kathmandu Blue Mountian Sprint, which we won 2.42hr due to sleep train and bull ant not racing, otherwise it would have been a push.

When more vino and kai at the home land, good for a waist line again, (+3kgs) over the two weeks, to many crackers and cheese.

Returned 12th feb with the trex off road tri in mind, now 6 weeks out and have to learn to swim run and ride, i think i have the ta's sorted, but not quite ready.

100kgs, 186cm,
