Cycle - Track - Cycle

Met Tim after work and we both cycled to Track together. Left the city a little late and so we had to push the pace through Kirribilli and Neutral Bay, arriving just in time for the warm up.

Track consisted of the Fartlek look plus 3 laps of the track for a warm up, then some stride throughs. The main set then involved 10 x 1 laps with 30 second recoveries in between. Formed a group with Duncan, Tim x 2 and I with the aim of hitting sub 80 second laps which is 4 min/km pace.

Laps went 1.19/1.18/1.16/1.17/1.14/1.17/1.14/1.17/1.22/1.15 Not sure what happened with the penultimate one…maybe a missed timing issue.

Finished off with a couple of warm down laps inside the oval followed by some core and stretching.

Cycled back home with Tim after all that for a total cycle of about 18km with the running adding another 10km. All up a couple of hours which is good considering the endurance that will be needed for the triathlon.

Good crowd there tonight and it was nice to catch up with Duncan, Tim and Andrew.

Legs feel pretty smashed though so the Striders 10km on Saturday could be interesting....
