Perth is due for a cool change soon. I figure if I keep saying that it has to come true eventually. It certainly didn't come true today with another 36 degree day making being outside unpleasant.
A good solid day of training today, done either side of the hot bits, well as much as possible anyway. I had a bit of a ride/run this morning and then another ride this afternoon.
I had an early engagement this morning, which meant training had to be finished by 7:00am. That unfortunately meant an early start to the day, getting up before 4:00am, which I hate. I have a personal rule about never setting my alarm with a number starting with 3 unless it is for a race (or I have a very good reason like this morning) or the three is followed by a pm. Unfortunately this morning there was no pm.
Despite the early start the session went well. The bike had a slow start but ended up being solid, but the run was really good. I suspect the letters P and B are probably associated with it. It was a tough run and a stubborn one, but I managed the time that I was after in the end and so I was happy with that.
The ride this afternoon was a bit more of a recovery spin. It was still pretty warm and windy when I headed out and so it was a case of get out and make the most of it.
It has been a pretty solid week of riding this week. With my ride tomorrow I will have had about seven training rides this week. I have a fair bit of cycling gear, but seven rides it pushing my supplies. My ride this afternoon I was down to the dregs of my knicks. You know the ones, the ones that you are pretty sure are see through, but are probably okay for one more ride. Yep those ones. I had to get a jersey out of the wash. That wasn't pleasant. I am good for tomorrow though since I have been keeping a set of clean cycling gear aside for just such an occasion.
With the early morning and the solid training I am pretty tired now though. I just had a bit of a nana nap on my daughters bed after finishing her bedtime stories.
Oh yeah, I did manage to get out swimming in the end yesterday. The plan I was contemplating yesterday worked in the end. I got my ride out of the way early and so in the afternoon I managed to head down to the river and grab a swim. This time WITH bathers.
One more ride in the morning. It is a longish one, but I don't have any running or anything to do afterwards. I am hoping to go and collapse into bed soon and then it really is supposed to be cooler tomorrow. Hopefully between the early morning and the cooler weather it will be a nice morning on the bike.
