Back into it
After a couple of lazy/recovery days ...
After Sunday's round of the BSSS, I was pretty trashed, I think the Saturday's kayak trip didn't help much either (6 hours in a boat!). I got a good swim in on Monday night (2km, 500m w/up, 10 x 25m sprint,25m cruise on the minute, 200m tempo, 6 x 25m sprint,25m cruise on the minute, 500m w/down), but when I got into the PowerHaus on Tuesday night to do heavy squats I could only do one set of 3 at 160kg. Still pretty fatigued I expect ...
Took an easy Wednesday, with just a doddle-ride to the LBS and back. This morning we were back at Blackburn doing efforts though. Dino, Pat, John Lewis and I had a good session. The sprinters (Dino, Pat & I) did 3 x standing 150's in big gears for strength work, I used 105" (51x13), not sure what the others were on. I was getting up to ~48km/h from a standing start over the 150m. John has turned to the dark side and is pursuiting, so we did a couple of pursuit-specific things for him, a 3 lap 'settle in' start effort and then a couple of 2 laps on/2 laps paced for 8 laps efforts to get his pacing underway. The sprinters finished off with 5 lap revouts - chase the motorbike in a little gear for 5 laps as it goes from 35km/h to around 55km/h.
Tonight Dino & Em are coming over to join me in a session in the 'haus, then I might see if I can go for an MTB ride with Vanders for fun. Saturday's forecast is 43 degrees, so Blackburn's track racing will most likely be cancelled (good!). On Sunday I might be kayaking again, it's good fun and good cross-training!
