Home time!

Sat at San Francisco airport waiting to board.  I've had some pretty serious back problems the past couple of days. Plenty of ibuprofen and paracetamol to relax the muscles.
Hoping the 11 hours on the plane goes quickly...

Local run

Yesterday I returned my bike and ran back to the hotel. Achilles seemed ok but I found it hard to run with the backpack.


I ran tonight with Tri-Valley Triathlon. It was a bike/run session, but I did a run warmup - 4km on a rolling out and back course. Rolling as in ~140m loss out & ~140m gain on the way back! I followed this up with the brick that everyone else was doing.

30 minutes - 3 x (8.5 minutes easy + 1.5m race pace). Unsure what the easy pace was but for the race pace hit ~3:55/km.

After a 10oz rib eye steak at lunch I had a huge sandwich and a slice of cake this evening. Happy days.
