After a rather enjoyable weekend of training and paintball (luckily no bad welts, unlike Jimmy D!!), my mind feels alot fresher and am now looking really forward to the upcoming week. Was out running with Princess this afternoon and had a good laugh and yarn about the paint ball proceedings and about the forthcoming race at Jervis Bay. Princess, Komo and Myself are racing whilst Ross is coming up for a weekend away as our official "handler" (would write bitch, but hey, they would not be nice!!).
Princess did ask the question about the course if it was hilly or flat, and myself not really up with gradients, except anything above 8% makes this diesel train battle. The ride course has a profile of:

Whilst the run is as follows:

These two profiles mean very little to myself and working out the gradient means 9 tenths of nothing, just give it to me in words: Flat, Undulating or Hilly!!!
The four of us are making the long road trip on friday and there should be many a funny story to tell. Throw in a few beers for the return trip sunday and I am set for a cracker of a weekend. I hope to be relaxed for the weekend and really enjoy it.
A short note goes out to all those who have suffered during the fires around Victoria and to my good mate Rod, who has the horrible task of removing the deceased. Thoughts are with you mate and you are during agreat job no doubt. I look forward to spinning the legs again when you return.
For now....
X man
X Man, it is relatively flat, only bout 2% gradient on the bike and sweet ph*k all on the run, fast fast fast, should be a blast, giddy up!
ReplyDeleteWhile you well shaven prima donnas are out cruising around up their in Nth NSW, on a hilly 2% gradient bike course think about me and the 1500 others down at Apollo Bay bustin out 100Kms on the MTB with over 650mts of climbing in the first 25kms!!!
