30/5 Been a couple of quite days as Carolyn hasn't been felling the best. Headed out for a fun ride on the MTB & was fine for about 20min then felt S%$t, so called it quits 50min.
PM
2 x 20 deck Squats & still felling really flat, so I just hurt everyone else instead. Usually that makes me fell better.

20/5 Cruise commute 66min

Deck Squats 2 x 20
Single leg Step-ups 3 x 10es 64kg
Box Jumps 3 x 30 + 16kg
Explosive Alt Step-ups 16kg 30es, 20es then 8es & an abrupt stop with pain in left calf. I tore my Achilles where it inserts into the Gastroc's 32years ago & every few years it reminds me about it. So Ice time for me & rest over the next few days.

23/5 Calf still sore, so no running or jumping for me, just 45min of fun with 15m of rope.

24/5 First time at trying the calf out on the bike. So took Riley to Early-learners & commuted on the Single speed. As long as I loaded the calf up slowly it was fine, but I think racing for 5hrs this Sunday is out. Commute 1:40min

19/5 Short commute 65min
45min KB class with more newbies 24 & 16kg
Feeling a little flat this week.

20/5 What a day at the Giro. Big winners Richie Porte, Carlos Sastre & Bradley Wiggins. The big losers Alexandre Vinokourov, Cadel Evans, Vincenzo Nibali, Ivan Basso & Michele Scarponi. If Richie can limit his losses over the next 10 days of racing there may be an very surprising winner.

16/5 Was meant to get up very early to do some extra Km on the mountain Bike, but being woken up at 3am by Riley put a bit of a dent in that. So instead of that extra 1:30hrs I only did an extra 30min. Commute 1:35hr
PM I ended up do some KB 24kg technique work with a couple of people & so made up for it by sending the other 6 across the road with the Sloshballs & rope. Should have sent them down to the park as the complaining was really distracting. Ha, ha.

13/5 Easy 66min Commute

Deck Squats 2 x 20
Test session today with 5min of B/W deadlift. Decide to try & hold 20reps per min which was easy for the first 3min finishing them with 20sec left on the clock each min, then time started slipping away. I made my target just with 2 sec spare.

Stepped back with the weight a little tonight to get better quality & it worked & hurt more.

8/5 Following the success of the first “Ride Like King Day” last May, Giant will once again honor its founder King Liu with a second annual running of the event. On Saturday, May 8, Giant employees from around the world—including staff from Giant Sales Companies to its engineering, product development, and manufacturing facilities—will participate in organized rides. So this was my morning with a roll down to St Kilda & then off to Mordialloc & back with time for second breakfast. Great morning but ended up having to put the jacket back on as the HR only reached 99BPM max on the RIDE LIKE KING ride, but I warmed up again on the way home hitting 176BMP on a couple of the hills 3:15hrs

Neil was trying to stir me up before the session, so when handing out weights I gave him a 28kg & then proceeded to give Gav a 32kg. Neil didn't like to see Gav with a heavier weight & so complained as I hoped & expected. So I swapped his 1 x 28kg for 2 x 24kg. Then Justin complained that Neil was going to get better training than him, so I swapped his 32kg for a 40kg. Spent a bit of time waiting on Neil & Justin tonight. They seemed to have problems keeping up.
So mush fun to watch.

This week back doing more training is starting to take it's toll, Im a bit tired as of now.

2 Days back at work & how quick we get back into a routine. Interesting to read on the feedback boards how some members have been missing me taking some classes, oh well I'll make them regret writing that down real quick.

3/5 Fun commute as I dropped Riley off at early learners on the commuter on my around about ride into work & we did a little extra on some of the Yarra trails to keep off Bulleen Rd. 47 x 18 + 15kg extra over back wheels = 0 steep damp climbs, no matter how hard Riley pushed me.
