speedygeese @ Parliament House

rode to Parliament House after work last night for speedygeese…not a bad little warm up…

speedygeese attendees (14): Andrew, Andy, Caroline, Cookie, Craig, Ewen (early plus warm up), Kym, Rae, Ruth, SG, Stewart (new), Tori, Warrick and me

warm up: 2.92k (usual lap + jog to small oval + jog to chin up bars [2 chin ups completed!] + jog around rest of effort loop)

effort loop was roughly 410-420m with a killer hill in the back half, 30mins – alternating between fast/hard loop and slow/easy loop…I managed to complete 7 “fast” (I use that term loosely!) and 6 slow…that hill was getting steeper and steeper…just managed to catch the rabbit (aka Cookie) on my last effort…I think Andrew and Kym both lapped me…

rough times: 1:44/2:31, 2:00/2:31, 2:05/2:43, 2:01/2:47, 2:05/2:48, 2:14/2:37, 1:57

warm down: 1.28k (reverse 3/4 loop back to stairs)

total 9.83k in 71:00...starting temp/humidity: 19.2/43%...avg HR: 140...

surprisingly, the ride home wasn’t too bad…conditions were quite pleasant…although as I was a bit later than normal I had to keep an eye out for kangaroos – there were two sitting right next to the bike path in different spots…I’m never sure which way they are going to go but these ones were content to watch me ride past… this morning my ankle felt good so perhaps doing cycling straight after hills is a good idea…the ride in was zippy…I have the same gym session as last Tuesday planned but hopefully DOMS won’t be so bad tomorrow!
