On tour in Aurora

We have been doing a tour of Auroras finest training venues in the last few days. Saturday saw us riding our legs off for 2 hours at the 8.00am spin class in an unassuming church hall in Kettleby. A great session with nearly 30 riders and highly recommended. We followed up with a caffeine refueling session and chat at Second Cup with a few guys afterwards. Nice to meet a few more new faces. The post session reminded me of when we had our Triathlon Store in Scotland. We always regrouped for coffee & biscuits after the rides and it got to a point where people would turn up for the refreshments even if they hadn't done the session! (You know who you are!!)

With slightly tired legs we then headed out at 7.45am the next morning for a long Sunday run with the group who head out from Edward Street. A great turn out again and nice to run out in the country on the relatively traffic free roads in the snow. We ran about 16km at a pretty good pace and finished off with coffee and a catch up. Again.

Monday saw us swimming up at the Stronach Pool before some bike roller action in the garage then after Tuesdays swim we ventured out for a Strength and Conditioning Session with Paolina at the Aurora Gym. I can safely say I have never completed so many exercises in an hour and a half and we were all pretty whacked afterwards but a great workout and surprisingly we are not in too much pain today and still managed a bike (outdoors!!) and short tempo run.

All good fun but on my recovery week I think I'll need a caffeine detox too!!
