On the Bike

First time out on the bike for ages on a cold morning in Centennial. The thing about the bike is that you never seem to warm up  and I was even forced to stop at the cafe toilets at one point to warm my hands under the hot dryer as I’d lost all feeling in them at one stage.
Just cruised around and did the odd faster lap throughout the 40ks for the morning - best I could manage for a full lap was 6.03(and even that felt hard)
Still no running, but will try to get back out this weekend for a slow easy run after taking a whole week off. Getting very frustrating and I’m fearing that time could be running out re; Berlin.

So little done in terms of training but there is still plenty happening on the sporting front,  The Lions continued there winning ways last night albeit against a very lacklustre Western Force team over in Perth, and hopefully QLD can provide us with a sterner test this weekend.
Still one down and only another 8 to go.....
See the Aussies are struggling in the cricket (love it) as they prepare for the upcoming Ashes Tests and was laughing after reading one of my favourite old players and England captain David Gower has stoked the fires already by describing Australia as a country with no culture and their cricketers of having an "animal mentality". And asked if England's long-standing rivalry with Australia was a clash of cultures, Gower said: "I'm tempted to say, how you can have a clash of cultures when you're playing against a country with no culture? That would almost be sledging."
........Bring it on.
In the footy a draw was about as good as it got for the Green & Gold against the Japs, I can see Aussie's having to go into the play off draw against the 3rd place European team if they are to get to Brazil next year.

Back to the physio in the morning for more work on the Achilles and will try to get back to the pool for a lunchtime swim as well.

Cheers
