It has again been way too long since I last posted something and I'm not going to go into the boring and uneventful details of why I haven't been very active, instead I'll just jump straight back in to it and with the domestic racing already getting underway for another season, now is as good a time as any.
While several DAT athletes started their season with the first race of the Bribie Island Triathlon Series on Sunday I'll be waiting until this weekend for my first hit-out at the first race of the Queensland Triathlon Series at Raby Bay. With so many athletes racing at Bribie Island I took the opportunity to be a spectator for the day but still needing to get my training done for the day, riding there and back and including a run up there was a great way to do it. Plenty of data was collected from my Bryton Rider 50T for the rides from the outing that is all posted below.
It was a very early start to the morning with Dan and myself rolling out the door at 4:30am for the ride up there and having not done the ride before I wasn't sure what to expect but thankfully it was a really nice ride and with some solid time trial efforts that unbeknown to me were recorded at some points. We covered the 56km trip in just over 90min averaging close to 36km/hr.
Once up there I enjoyed a solid 5km run building up to race pace for the last km before making the most of the somewhat chilly 20 degree water temperature to cool off.
It's very rare that I get to spectate at any of the local races because I'm usually either competing or off training somewhere else so it was a nice change to be able to watch a lot of the people I train with and get to cheer for them for once. There were plenty of great performances from all of the athletes from DAT and doing my part as the spectator I got plenty of photos of all of them.
All in all a very solid days training that should set me up nicely for the short 400/15/4 distances on the cards for this coming weekend but more importantly, Noosa which is sure to be a cracker of a race with some big names taking the start line on October 30th.
