Was runnin late due 2 hangover, so thats all i could fit into 25min i had.

squash and ride

I rode 2 work and back, thats 20k's. The ride home was at 3am. In the rain. Not super fun.

Played 5 games of squash, for about 1 hr. Same person each game. I lost all of them but 2 were very close 10-8 and 9-7.

Gym and Ride

Ok, so ride to work and back about 20k's. Nothing exiting there. Same same car's not giving way etc.

Went to gym after work.

Then i sat around eating chocolate covered almonds. smiley face.

Gym and ride

Went to the gym in the morning, rode to work afterwards.

Ride to work is 20 k's. Lots of traffic on the road. Not pleasant.

Gym was a bit of a fail. Was aiming to go for 2 hours, but only managed 1ish. I was tired from long day yesterday. I suddenly lost it on the second set of incline bench, at the 8th rep i almost couldnt get it back on the rack thing. Then after that i was fair knackered.

8,8,7,8,7@60kg benchpress
5*10@40 assisted chin-ups interspersed with
5*10 decline sit-ups
8,8,5,6,5@50kg inclined bench-press

Bit sad ive lost the upper body tone i had about 5 weeks ago,am going 2 get it back tho. Now i have a the cash from work, im buying a bunch of suppliments, should gain it back fast.

Hockey

Played field hockey. There were no subs so it was a whole hour of game.

It was a semi-final, we were third on the ladder, they were second. We ended with a draw. One all.

My teammates felt we should have won, we spent most of the game in our scoring D. We just didnt convert to goals well. We did k.o. a guy on the other team by accident, he put his head in the way of a shot that would have made a goal, so we got a penalty shot and made a point.

I did some not so good tackles, a few ok passes and scrapped my knee when i sliped over trying to tackle.

We play for remy-finale next week, comp for 3rd.

Pushbike Ride

Rode from my place to uni, stayed at uni for a few hours, then headed to work, then home. So more or less the same path as on the 19th, guess that makes it about 18k's.

Rock Climbing

Went rock climbing with my brother. He is a bit out of shape these days, so i out climbed him. I made it to the top of five of the walls.

I was using any colour to do so. On one wall (think it was a 16) i tried only using the one colour, but i only got about half way until i couldnt find a good hold and resorted to mixing colours again.

Went for about 3 hours, with lots of snack breaks etc. My forearms are a little sore, and a few bruises / scratches from the wall, but otherwise lots of fun. Think I might save up for my own gear and get a 10 pass, then it will only be $12 a visit.

Pushbike Ride

Went for a longer ride, 73k's. My legs were still sore from squats. And the wind was insane between Thomastown and Cragieburn on the way out. By the time I got to Cragieburn, I was like, thats it, game over legs.

Had lunch in Cragieburn, and rested for a while, then headed back. The headwind was now a tailwind, and went really fast, until about Thomastown again, then it was a milder headwind again.

All in all it was a good ride. Did this one with a flatmate of mine, he is much fitter than me though so he seemed a bit miffed at needing to slow down for me. Although at the start of the day, he had skipped breakfast and was heading out a bit slow for me, so swings and roundabouts I suppose.

No sunburn this time, which is good.

Almost got hit by a guy who was exiting a service station. He was screaming at some woman he was fighting with and stopped, waiting for traffic. I was on the edge of the road, riding along. Then pretty much as I was infront of him (he almost clipped my back tyre) he decided it was time to make his dramatic speedy exit, and entered the road without paying attention.

Pushbike ride

Rode to work. Not very far, but good. My legs were sore from the squats the day before.

There and back is about 18k's. Took about 25 min both ways.

Cant say I'm a fan of riding on victoria street between nicholson and rathdowne, there is no bike lane. :(

Gym

Went to the gym. Was planning on doing 2 hours, but was so tired I slept in and only had time for 1 hour. Not too mention i took way too long in breaks between sets, 3-4 minutes or more.

5*6 @ 60kg bench-press
5*5 @ 50kg squats
5*10 @ 22.5kg bar bicep curl

I was just too tired to push myself. Also very unhappy that i can only manage 60kg bench press atm, i was at 5*8 @ 70kg last month before getting sick.

Hockey

Played field hockey. Match lasts for about an hour, I was subbed on the bench for ten-ish minutes. Lots of running, I played as left and then, after halftime, right wing.

Was a good game, we won 3 - 1. Although we had beaten this same team before.

I did two good tackles and managed to get a short-corner awarded against the other team. We didnt convert the short-corner into a goal, but it was still good to know my random swinging at the ball achieved something that our captian wanted us to do.

The first successful tackle wasnt all that memorable, but the second one i found funny. I just ran straight up to the guy as he was moving along with the ball, the next thing i know, i went for the ball and i got it. Both of us were suprised, and i found myself wondering if the ump had blown the whistle or play had stopped, it was the only thing i could thing of as to why such a sloppy tackle worked. Still it was good. Then i did a shit pass and they got control of the ball again... Ups and downs i suppose.

Bike ride

I went for an 80k bike ride today, i mapped out the path above. It took me about 5 hours, so thats ave 16kph (ish). Thats not so good. Also i got sunburned, even though it was overcast and windy for about half of that. But thats to be expected in Australia if you dont wear sunscreen. I know, silly me.
