Nothing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Put on a load of weight (about 4kgs - up to 68kgs now) on a diet of beer and chocolate. Wouldn...

Ride in in a good time but my garmin stopped tracking after it got too full of info. Swim at lunchtime in 24:33 - first 10 lengths crawl th...

Saw Carl this morning (session 8) and did a load of stretches and core work. No doubt my stomach will be screaming in 2 days time like last ...

39:53 on the way in, 24:01 for the swim and 43:08 on the way home. Getting quicker for each. Feeling quite tired though which is good. If...

Saturday was 1km in Warringah Aquatic Centre. Sunday was a rest, recovering from a hangover after TB's 30th. Today I cycled in (40:50), ...

Thanks Tim and Dave for the offers of bikes, but couldn't turn down the opportunity of heading out to buy a new toy. Bought an Orbea Ane...

Tough session but a fair crowd and towards the start Durante, Clyde and I broke clear with Serg for a while before Serg eased back to Muz, K...

Friday Run home from work at lunchtime with the first section via Cremorne point with Kanser, MC, Durante, Benny St, Dicky H and Clyde. Whe...

Out today with a good crowd of Serg, Kanser, Shandyboy, Durante, Benny Saint, Clyde, Tucks and bumping into Tim C along the way. The usual M...

Yesterday, saw Carl in the morning with my quads still screaming but my heel absolutely fine. Then saw Dr Kuah in the evening. He seems to...
