Monday, 7:55am - Ride from Yeerongpilly (drop car off) to home, 12.91km in 29:16 @ 26.5km average (including stops). Rode the Giant TCR, had a backpack. Comical drag race with a Hiace crossing Sherwood Road on Oxley Road, the driver and I grinning as we egged our respect mounts onward. Felt better for having turned the legs over, although I pulled up from yesterday pretty well.
Monday, 3:12pm - Run from home to Yeerongpilly (pick car up), 11.08km in 49:22 @ 4:27 per km pace. Ran in red Vibrams Bikilas (Five Fingers), and my small Kathmandu backpack (a very old friend who has done many miles on my back) with a t-shirt, shorts, handtowel, wallet, keys and phone. Felt pretty good early, although it's a little hard to tell in the Vibrams as I suspect the sheer lightness of them masks a lot of things and you simply feel fast! Got a little slappy after about halfway but the pace never really fell away even though I wasn't really feeling particularly fast. Just focussed on making each stride a good one and landing and taking off strongly. Quite warm in the sun.
