So now that Netball is finished I went on a group ride on Saturday morning... It was nice to get on Stella and after my initial nerves settled it felt amazing to be out spinning those wheels. I was doing ok in the first 25kms... the wind was behind us.. on the way back we had head wind the whole way and I really had to work hard to keep up. So we reach town and had maybe 8km left to ride... approach the busiest set of traffic lights in Bunbury on a Saturday morning and I unclick from the pedal put my feet down and just toppled over (in front of the group)... My legs just decided to stop working.. Mortifying.. I picked myself up and finished the ride and am trying very hard to just forget the stack.. Apparently their are two types of cyclists, those that have fallen off and those that are going too.. It seems I am in both categories... Sarah has set a challenge for the next 10 days... To stay on Stella... Yeah right... not likely in my case..
Cross Country was yesterday... I went with the plan of doing a 5km run, and as the course was just around the corner from home I decided to jog there do my run and walk home.. nice in theory... I start the jog and really struggled... I walked/ran the approx 2.5km there and then really struggled to finish 2.5kms of the 5km.. I walked/jog home but have really lost some ground with my training.. With my first Tri in only 4 weeks I have alot of work to do... Man I hadn't realised it was that close... blind panic is setting in....
Rest day today and then will be stepping up the training...

You're doing so well. Your stories about coming off Stella remind me of coming off that really mean little pony I used to have and Mum and Dad putting me back on while still crying and bleeding!
ReplyDeleteAnd Stella, you look after my sister or I'm going to send one of our parents down there to have some stern words with you!
