Up for a great 45min swim at 8am, then home and off for a quick 10km bike ride (on a real bike on real roads! Was great to finally pump up the tyres and get the bike out. Its a fabulous bike and was awesome to ride. Its quite a fast bugger. In fact it really should have better brakes with the speed it can do. Might have to look into that, as neither the front or rear brakes are very good. So long as I don't have to stop in a hurry I'm sweet! I also have a new respect for cyclists and less respect for cars... drivers in Welly really are quite clueless, I had to slow right down on many occasions as cars cut in front of me to turn left when I was carrying on straight ahead.
There are really quite a few elements you don't get to experience on the gym bike. It is also so much faster to complete the 10kms for real, even with the welly wind.
Also for some good news, I got a message back from Scotty of SpecForce, and he says his new gym is going to run training sessions for police and military at 7am 3 days a week as part of their regular programming. That's awesome. So I will make the most of this when I am up in Aucks for the next hols and in the 1st hols in 2012.
Well.....time for a healthy lunch and then off to the library to do a bit more research.
Have a fab Sunday!
