Sept 4/5 weekend roundup

G is the guest presenter this week. 4 weeks to go until the Gold Coast, things are stating to heat up with a few mega training sessions by a few of the lads.

Weekend started as usual with a Friday night swim. The pain brothers started the weekend as they were going to finish it with a killer pool session on Friday, followed up with a ride on Saturday and a killer brick session on Sunday. 4 hrs riding followed by 8 x 2km repeats. Seems like they are positioning themselves for a super time, or massive implosion at GC.

The new Muz weapon has arrived, a mighty fine looking piece of equipment, no doubt he will terrorise plenty of riders leading up to and including GC.

Myself, Mark, Luke and Tim went for nice leisurely swim out the dam, 5 laps for everyone (a new record for yours truly) except for Luke who sooked out at 2, beautiful night, pity weren’t out there for a BBQ and beers.

Mark R followed Friday night with a mega ride on Saturday, clocked up another 100 mile ride, looked very fresh afterwards, no doubt he will smash the bike at GC, question is will he be able to run the distance?? I think not.

Tim, Luke and myself headed out for a ride over Haddock and up Mt Rollo, a few close encounters with a winged terror on Mt Rollo the only issue. Ended up cruising around Tannum to clock up 100km, we welcomed Luke into the 100km club, not sure if he was to keen to do any more than 100km but a great effort no less. Tim backed this up with a spin session and 8 x 2km repeats on the Sunday, watch out for Tim, he is coming good, don’t be fooled by the dodgy form guide time.

BV ducked down to Bundaberg for the weekend, rumour is he put in a stellar weekend of training, discovered that riding with the fan going is not the same as riding in the elements. 100km knocked over in the wind backed up with a 30min ride x 30 min run x 30min ride x 30 min run brick session on the Sunday. Building nicely for an epic meltdown, I mean race at GC.

Unconfirmed information that DVD has been thrashing himself lately, 350km plus rides, 30km plus runs, 6km plus swimming, the race council is considering adjusting the form guide time based on this latest information. We may have a new fox.

Ironvastava headed up to Airlie Beach for the weekend, not a holiday though.100km plus ride on Saturday followed up with the sprint distance race on Sunday, a very impressive 1:16 time, look out for Ironvastava, the training is obviously starting to pay big time.

The mighty Zuuer was off up to Darwin last week, word is he had a few health issues, came back with a sore head and a mountain of motivation, look out whoever is foolish enough to train with him the next 4 weeks. Rumour has it he did a double crossing at the Dam just to warm up for the next 4 weeks.

Sneaky Stevie apparently spent the weekend cleaning the house. Who believes this? NO ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
