Lappin the Lake

I woke up this morning with an upset stomach again. I dont know what is going on but I have been feeling yuck when I wake up for a couple of weeks now. My legs were feeling tender as well from the massage yesterday so I thought I would take it easy this morning. I had 2 hard laps of the lake with a 6 minute break and then another lap on the program. Each lap of the lake is around 1.45km. Sean wanted us to do a negative split which I managed finishing the 2 laps in 13.50 (just under 3km) doing the second lap 2 seconds quicker than the first (hey, its still a negative split). The last lap I done in 6.44, so much for taking it easy today. Its almost impossible for me to turn up to a session and not give it everything I have. All up with warm up/warm down, drills and the session I done 8.5km today. A little less than on the plan but I'm sure I will be getting a workout on the weekend at camp.

I forgot to mention that on Tuesday I put a deposit down for a road bike. I dont like my chances for getting ready for Sydney to the Gong in time (entering 2.5 months early without a good bike is a little silly), not that I'm worried about what time I get anyway. Its an Azzurri Uno and is blue and white. I have to wait for them to bring in another size so they can fit me up. I'm really nervous about using cleats, I dont like the thought of being so attached to the bike. The guy at the shop said that your pretty much guaranteed to come off while getting used to them :(

I'm off to the Capital Cook Hotel tonight for dinner with the squad. $7 steak and veg sounds a lot better than cooking to me :)
