Quick round the grounds

Well Mooloolaba has come and gone and another great weekend had by all. I'm pretty sure most were happy with the times they finished with. News Flash - Team Cervelo took out the 2 fastest times of the local yokels on the bike leg in trying conditions :) Ironman is only 31 days away now and is all consuming for those involved now. These next couple of weeks are the last of the big distances we will see until the big day on May 1 so they are a must do. More importantly the will see the end to ridiculously early morning training for most. I for one will not miss waking up looking at the clock and the first number starting with a 2!!!!! The Thursday ride continues and lights are a must pretty much from now if you stay for a drink at the club house.

2 Hundy Conviction

Well it wasn't the best weather to be riding on the weekend, in the mornings in any case but it didn't prevent another couple of 2 Hundy rides from being completed. I'll pat myself on the back first as I had to lay down the ride so the pressure was on the G to step up to the plate. Left at 3am, started pissing down, and I mean hammering at 3:02 :( It eased and just when I thought it was passing that's when the storm hit....In the end it was a pretty easy ride given the sun was hiding behind the clouds, unlike others of late where it has come out and cooked me.

The G was given 'no chance' by his peers especially with the rain around. Credit to the big man he came good and provided the all important photo to prove he did it. With only 40 odd days until Ironman now these 2 hundy's will cease to exist shortly, unless there is a physical challenge thrown out there :)
