It may not be as flash as my Cervélo but I'm getting heaps of enjoyment on my Dad's mountain bike! The bloody thing must weight at least 30kg though! LOL
"Trail riding" in Australia... I could get used to this

Hard to believe I've been Down Under for about a month now. It's been a fabulous trip thus far spending quality time with friends and family.
It's even harder to believe that in 2.5 weeks I'm flying home and shortly thereafter I begin
My time Down Under has allowed me to fully rest and let my body recover from over training and crashing so hard in June. I was pretty sick mates let me tell ya.
That was then and right now, I am feeling awesome! Moreover, I have a burning desire to train again!
This time though I am training smarter and am setting realistic expectations with next years racing season and what my body can handle.
I am going to focus on Sprints and Olympic distances.
I am going to do no more then one race a month.
I am going to stick with ONE training program and not change programs every few weeks.
I am going to keep close track of my training logs to ensure I don't overtrain again.
I am going to spend this fall working on building a solid bike and run base. Low and Slow.
Low and Slow
Speaking of which, I've begun the base phase of my training. Considering I haven't done any significant training since the end of May, I guess you could say I've been in my "Transitional" phase now for almost 3 months.
Yay!! The body is finally feeling "normal" and I've started training again!!!... low and slow.
Low and Slow.. good mantra for me.
