Windy Wednesday...

i thought yesterday was windy but it was nothing compared to today!

first things first, i had another good ride home last night:

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 19.1/44%
start time: 5:27pm
total distance: 15.38k (BC 15.70)
total time: 42:42 (41:48 without stoppages)
avg speed: 21.6
total calories: 424
avg HR: 135
finish temp/humidity: 18.2/46%

today's session was an "easy" 80mins so i elected to run around the Jerrabomberra Wetlands end of the lake for something different...you still can't run a long the edge of the lake at Kingston's foreshore due to the ongoing development...



btw, Virtual Partner obviously doesn't know the road rules as he scooted some 150m ahead while i waited at the lights not long after i started!

it was windy right from the beginning with the wind speed fluctuating between 18-26 knots and gusts between 27-38 knots!

at times, i felt like i was running backwards...i swear i saw sea gulls, swans & ducks getting blown back past me...and you could have surfed on the lake the waves were that big!...so i'm quite happy with this run too as it was quite a struggle...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 22.5/41%
start time: 12:24pm
total distance: 14.68
total time: 1:20:01
avg pace: 5:27
total calories: 1219
avg HR: 154
finish temp/humidity: 22.5/41%

tomorrow, i might ride to/from work, i have an interval session planned for lunchtime then tomorrow night is the volunteers' training session at Canberra Southern Cross Club...

only 4 days to go!!
