This week was an enforced (and very welcome) rest week. I've been in Melbourne and Adelaide for work and fitting in training has led to some unusual runs. I managed a long hilly ride on the Sunday before I left. We headed down the Otago Peninsula to Taiaroa Head and back, using the high road (Highcliff Road) in both directions so it was full on hill work. That was the only ride for the week and Monday (the day before I left for Aussie) was the only swim. I managed a couple of runs in Melbourne, one from the airport to the city. So the week's 6:30 of training included: a 40 min swim, a 3:05 hour ride and two runs totaling 2:45.
Training while away from home, especially as I have work and associated evening engagements while in Adelaide, is proving to be more difficult than I thought. Also finding a local pool to swim at was not as easy as I thought. Nonetheless, I am still managing to get some serious running in (I've managed a 10km, 17km and a 26 km since Tuesday), but next time I am away I will have to do some more advance planning.
