Indoor Bike 95 Minutes

Smoke rolled in from the east last evening, very thick. At 11pm I was having trouble breathing, had to relocate to find somewhere safe to sleep and breathe. Driving on the roads was hazardous, visibility down to 50 metres. Hard to imagine I will venture out at all today. I set the indoor bike up again and cycled for 95 minutes including some long strength intervals (big gear 53/14,low cadence).

Tomorrow is a work day, some businesses and institutions are closed. Mine was on Thursday and Friday, I expect Monday will be the same. Postal items are not currently being delivered. More riding on the bike trainer until conditions are better. I leave for Hobart and the Half Marathon on Saturday. Only five days of exercise to negotiate between now and then.

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
