WEEK 4 - The Life of a Nomad

As I sit here on the couch listening to a replay of Triple J Hottest 100 countdown, watching the tennis on tv and sweltering in 40 degree heat, I ponder what to blog about for week #4 of my Ultimate Challenge. This week has been a fairly stock-standard week of training and life in general. Life at the moment seems to be a constant revolving wheel composed of the never-ending search for a temporary place to live until I go back overseas, trying to find work that fits in around training AND pays the bills (have discovered that this actually doesn't exist), pondering if I should go back to Uni (one day in the very distant future), and trying to plan for the 2011 US Tri Season. The last point being the very reason of my nomadic lifestyle.

Training on the other hand has been going great guns and all is on track for a good race up at the Falls Creek Long Course in 2 weeks time. This week I completed my longest ever run (28.5km) and managed to pull up well, with even the extra ankle bone behaving! Following the run I managed to consume a copious amount of food at Sam's B'day/Aus Day Celebrations that sufficiently replaced my fuel stores. I also put in some really solid sessions on the bike. So all is on track training wise. Next week is Gatorade #4 at Portarlington which is always a fun race then the taper for Falls begins...woo!

I must apologise for the lack of excitement in this blog, but I feel that my sudden enthusiasm in blogging this past week has really caught up with me and as such I must rest, refuel and re energize in preparation for a rippa entry next week.

Until next time;
stay cool, sit under a tree...
