For the month of May I clocked up:
322km running - 307th of 13,400 runners.
1,213km riding - 5,922nd of 65,600 riders.
The 'RUNNING RAW VEGAN' won the run by running 1,333km in 31 days - a marathon everyday for the month of May!!! Someone had to do it.
The ride winner from the UK cycled 6,539km in 21 rides - an average of 311km per ride!!!
This month it's Junedoggle. On Saturday (day 1) I was sitting 2nd out of 8,423 runners. Red Bear messaged saying I'm only 200m off first place and should go out and run it! I was out for dinner, when I get home I'm running 200m. When I got back first place had extended out by 1.2km and I was sitting 3rd. Too cold and wet, he can have it!
The Next 6 week Hawaii program will be out soon. While this week was more an adaption week, Foz said next week will be a tough one. Lots of threshold runs, it's going to hurt.
Tuesday's run at the Tan was changed from a Fartlek to an easier 75min run due to the high performance camp last weekend.
Was still flat on Wednesday's ride. Just an easy 2hrs. Then there was Thursday's ride, a 40km time trial at Hawthorn velodrome - was always going to be nasty! Wanted to average 42km/hr. Managed to clock 40km in 56:42 for an average speed of 42.3km/hr. Really happy with that result at this stage of training. It hurt!

Got the opportunity to Coach both ends of our cycling team spectrum today, with our novice bike session, teaching technique on hill reps with athletes.
Also coached 2 of our Hawaii Ironman team, Dale with a 40km TT, which he did in 56:42mins (42+ average) and Diana Simpson with an FTP test.
Loved it, pic of Dale post smash fest.

Pulled out the foam roller that night and did some stretching and planking. Ouch!
Friday's swim set included butterfly which then included cramps. The type that stop me mid lap, one hand on the lane rope, the other on my calf. Got through the session but it was tiring.
Planned on taking the opportunity on Saturday to go with Stirling to Auskick and train in the afternoon. Then the thunder, lightening and rain came down Friday night. The rain was still still going Saturday morning so no Auskick. Also missed the 'kick-off' time at Kew boulevard with the MTC crew so did the planned solo ride/run mid morning.
Rode out to Montrose...and the rain hammered down! The type that stings you face when you go down hills. Got saturated and got a flat, lucky it was outside a McCafe so I grabbed a coffee while there.
A 2hr 30min run followed the ride. Ran Gardiners Creek Trail then the Yarra Trail to the Swan St bridge then up Swan St / Riversdale Rd. Riversdale Rd added a few hills to the back end. Did 33.8km averaging 4:25min/km.
Went out for dinner Saturday night and smashed down a pasta, dips and chips. Polished off several bottles of table water.
Sunday was a scheduled day off so achieved the most epic sleep-in! Lauren went to yoga so Stirling and I went to Scienceworks. Awesome!
Stirling loved it. Scienceworks is made for 5 year olds...and 5 year olds dads! We were running, riding, stacking blocks, making electricity, having fun. The Planetarium was closed for renovation so another visit will be scheduled real soon.
The day finished with a visit to McDonalds. I highly recommend the Crunchie McFlurry.
Great work by the Aussies in the Hawaii 70.3 today - Craig Alexander and Belinda Granger being 1st male & 1st female over the line. The funny thing is both are in my 40-44 age group!!!
131 days or 19 weeks or 4 months 9 days to Kona!
