Last week was a positive week for me after having troubles with my gut (acid imbalance they claim). It was a solid base week to gauge where the body is up to but strained my calf slightly last Tuesday morning so i backed off a little to allow repair.
Saturday completed the usual hit out mtb up (1hr24) /down (1hr) oaks with a reduction in times then dismounted and trotted around red haves caves track sub 1hr. The body felt great at the lifted intensity. Then had the bubs all arvo as wifey headed out so played hard until he had no more to give.
Sunday caught up with a paddling coach to refine technique which was great and offered much needed guidance
Numbers
Kayak 25km + 90min technical session
Swim 2km (missed Sunday due to repairing kayak hull had gel coat everywhere- gutted)
Mtb 82km
Run 24km
Weight 90kgs (crazy never thought i would get to here)

The weekend cut short!
Saturday was cut short a little but still got in a intense 4hr ride run, Mtb up / down oaks and run around red hand caves. Then ducked off to see the Waratah get a touch by the Force yippee!
Sunday started slow after the late night with the rugby in the city, and i got the "can you put the Ikea furniture together" by wifey, so to keep in the good books i did and lost the morning. Got to the Kayak mid arvo for a 1.5hr dash up river then straight to the pool for a relaxed swim with Sleep train.
Week Totals
Road 70km
Run 20 km
Mtb 82 km
Paddle 15km
Swim 3.5km
Monday rested in morning as we (the geo team) were heading to the boats for a session, 6pm on the water for 25km paddle. should held together until the 20km mark then started to feel the effects of Sunday.
Tuesday - missed BMMC session as i was fatigued from the paddle, but will have to make up for it tonight

Back on track
With the dramas of last weekend behind me i am back on track. But the gut is still not perfect?
Monday committed to bed
Tuesday Nothing very fatigued (40min walk with dog but that does not count)
Wednesday 70km Road ride
Thursday 1hr10min BMMC session (off road run), missed a evening session as the wife sent me to Ikea!
Friday 2km Swim, and will be on the bike trainer tonight,
Tomorrow Bike run paddle session (5+hrs)
Sunday Ride, Paddle (4+hrs) low key swim
All things going to plan i should put a good ding in myself, whilst giving me a gauge on where i am at with 6 weeks of training before Geo.

Planning Wasted
Easter weekend 4 days of training! I wish, Friday started on the trainer in the garage watch crap TV then the drive to Greenwell point (near Nowra). This was to be the base for training, Saturday started 20km paddle up tempo. Got back relaxed, ate, cleaned up and planned the next outing a night Mtb ride, but that never evaluated for me as around 5pm my guts turned upside down, (yes again). After emptying my stomach at both ends, i got tucked into bed to rest while MH went riding.
Sunday the body was no better so we packed up to head home, slept in the car most of the way up, 13hrs that night. and rested all monday and slowly improved. Therefore missed the Club Tri on monday.
It can only get better from here!

Close but no cigar
Firstly last weekend I tried to do as much as possible but with pregnant wife and hormones peaking i could not sneak out of the house, but got in a 30road ride sat and 10km run, and Sunday a recovery MTB.
This week start well with light jog monday as the leg were weary after Saturday effort to run mt portal, and the evening got back into the boat with an intense 10km sub 1 hr, which was a surprise after not being in the boat for a while.
Tuesday came alarm went i was up ready and ran around the house trying to find my phone (which was located in the back of the shirt i had on!!) thus delaying departure and in turn missing Scam and BMCC kick off at 6am sharp, it was a matter of moments, so i punished my self with a dash into euroka.
Wednesday rode to work to give me a 70km day,
And today, running late for BMCC as i left the laptop at home making me back track, could not get the time back so called Scam to wait as i was 5min away, plus i followed Dr Phil down the hill to glenbrook. then we were off down into the gorge and into the park.
This week so far: (big weekend of paddling is planned to wear off choc from easter)
Run 20km
Ride 70km
Kayak 10km
