Bikewise!

Activity: cycle
Distance: 18km
Time: 55min

Activity: climb
Time: 1 hour

The Bike Wise Challenge started today, so I've biked to work and to climbing. For some reason the long straight ride down Whiteleigh Ave/Barrington St isn't as bad as going down Hoon Hay Rd, so I'm actually quite enjoying the ride to and from work.

Climbing wasn't so good - enjoyable, but I can notice the backwards slide over the Xmas break. Only one thing for it: keep going!

Needs must

Sunday
Activity: run
Distance: 2.6km
Time: 21min

Tuesday
Activity: cycle
Distance: 13.3km
Time: 40min

Running from the new flat is quite pleasant, through the trees along Deans Ave in Hagley Park. But it's a lot busier than my old routes, so I may end up with a few more running buddies (unofficial) than before! The bike ride's a lot shorter, and doesn't involve the demoralising NW slog up Hoon Hay Rd, though I might have to be a bit quicker about getting past the railway lines - I almost got taken out by the barrier arms for the 5pm train today. Again, it's busier, also involves dodging more car doors :(

New Year's what?

Monday
Activity: gym

Mucho soreness. Must go again

Wednesday
Activity: cycling
Distance: 18km
Time: 51min

Here's hoping I don't get the headwinds on my new commute from next week. I really need to be stepping things up, as February is the Bikewise Battle/Challenge/whatever they're calling it now, and March is the triathlon. Eek. Time to remind T, I think!
