30/1 6:30am, DOM's hasn't gone away, so out for a ride with Gavin along the Yarra Trails out to do Han's Loop a couple of times. As it was going to be very hot wanted to get the ride done early. Great morning ride with the trails in good condition. I just need to spend a bit more time on the bike as the 1 x 9 handle a lot different from the Anthem.

20/1 Nice easy commute today & feeling good 64min

Alley Drag session again for the 5 sets of 4.
Big difference tonight as it was hot, which made the tyre softer and more grippe, so more work.

23/1 Flynn's Birthday so no chance of a ride today.
PM
6 of us hit the alley way for 4 sets of dragging with a lighter weight in the Sled & a smaller tyre tonight
Set 1, 4wd Tyre at 48kg
Set 2, Sled at 70kg
The Tyre was way harder that the sled so we dropped it's weight
Set 3, 4wd tyre 33kg
Set 4, Sled at 70kg
The tyre at about 40kg should be about the same as the sled at 70kg for future reference depending on temp.
Renegade row/push-up 3 x 5es 40kg KB's

Good to see Steve Caddy show up & smash himself for fun.

19/12 Nice commute today as the legs are getting better, can't say the same for the rest of the body with the shoulders tight from yesterdays KB workout. 65min commute.

The 100 straight each hand, was the hardest part of the session, will need to do more of these.

My KB participants have been talking about what they expect & want to do on Wednesdays session, so my spies tell me. They are in for more than they expect or want, but it will keep me happy because I've wanted to try this for a while, I just didn't have an excuse. (as if I really need one)

17/8 Well Sundays session did catch up with me today, not DOM's just legs are exhausted with no real snap, so it's just an easy commute 66min.

16/1 Commuted to work on the MTB today & did some extras on the Yarra trails & was in for quite a few detours due to the rain, 5 in fact. 5 times the trail disappeared into the high flowing Yarra or a newly formed pond. Apart from this excess water in places the trails were in pretty good condition, considering how much rain we have had over the last week. No one else was seen on the trails for the whole ride. 1:50hr

PM Same session as Thursday night dragging the tyre except it was dry, so the tyre gripped heaps, which meant out came the extra 15kg & it still felt 50% harder, which means it was more fun. The sled went from 94kg to 118kg for Gavin's & Helen's enjoyment.

13/1 Felt a lot better on the commute today, but the Humidity is still hard to deal with. 64min
PM
Deck squats 2 x 30
Truck Dragging time. Attached the rings to the truck tyre for fun & add 15kg Bulgarian bag to the tyre to give it a weight of 71kg, then do 20 x 25m ish sprints alt 4 different hand positions.
1 Superman
2 Hands at shoulders
3 Hands stretched out behind
4 Going Backwards (To destroy the Quads)
With the Alleyway wet I managed to run / stagger these. When it's dry this will destroy, as it was by the end I was getting that running on empty feeling.

10/1 Nice commute on the single speed 64min
45min KB class with good rest tonight 16kg

11/1 Another fun commute in the rain 64min
45min KB class, a bit more intense tonight with 4 x 9min work & 1min rest

12/1 High humidity, headwind & rain = slow ride 69min
45min KB class. People should be careful with what the say, was the lesson for today's class.
Barbara asked to do Snatches early, so we did. 2 x 16kg used
Snatches 22 x 5
Was going to be 20sets, but on set 19, Mark goes that's 18 only 2 to go. So if he wanted us to do an extra set I needed to raise him one.
Jerks 5 x 10.

4/1/2011 Cruised into work on the 1 x 9 just getting use to the bike, a nice pleasant ride 65min
First KB class for the year, so we just worked on the basics & i played with the 16kg.

5/1 Put a 33 tooth chain ring on the front that Gavin had lying around, as the 32 I had on was pretty much destroyed & was also ramped, which was causing to to come off now & again. The only problem I found on the ride in with it was that as soon as I put any power down I ended up with chain suck. So after the commute it ground down some of the edges slightly & hope that it will fix this issue. 72min
45min KB class. Decided to drop the reps & go a bit heavier today. 24kg

1A Swings 3 x 10es

Well it's been a lazy week and a half with very little training, just time for the body to catch up on some rest & play with the kids.

3/1 Ran into Gavin yesterday and we decided to head out for a ride. I'd put together an old steel bike that hasn't been used for 6 or so year for some fun. Used bits and pieces & ended up going for a 1 x 9. Was feeling crap after not doing anything much & just couldn't get into the grove, but still had fun heading out to Han's loop. Gavin rode much better than me today, but it was fun to get back onto a hardtail as I haven't ridden one since 2007. My riding definitely been getting lazy just riding on a duallie.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas & New Year. For me it's time to get back on track & suffer.
