Gnomes Abduct The Plan

Training is resuming. With some semblance of consistency in relation to the plan starting to take hold again. Having said all this it was immediately that the Gnomes took their hold in dragging me from the plan. There insistence that I take them skiing this week putting a dint in the build that was occurn Ness style up to this point.

So having forced myself away to the slopes of the NSW ski fields it was a sparse training week post Saturday. Still we have to do what we have to do I suppose. As such the week has been and shall not be changed at this point:

Saturday 17th July
AM run in the Park with Sleep Train, Shogun, Sarge, Fat Kiwi with addendum  running happening with Rodthehornet and Sailaway from the same location but in divergent paths through the morning. All up a crisp mornings 2hrs logged having peaked bullant ridge to Portal into Euroka up Bennetts and home. Felt great all morning.

Sunday 18th - Wednesday 21st July
As previously stated forced by Gnomes to ski these days. First 2 days fairly relaxed but a solid 3rd day on Wed had the quads smashed up and screaming to stop (which of course would not occur).

Thursday 22nd July
Seems the advertised 11% chance given to not getting up in advertising the standard BMMC Thur run had a stronger influence than anticipated on the Bus heading home the evening before. I am lead to believe those who ran had a great time.

PM the inaugural Gnome instructors bicycle gathering at the Regatta Centre drew a crowd of three plus one. Clocked in 5 laps before the light was deemed insufficient by man in car with flashing lights. Will build this one to a meaningful ride as the holder of the great torch extends their OT working hours.

By the way today is international pie day (work the date, you will get it soon enough)

Friday 23rd July
AM and I must say I just hadn't remember how comfortable the bed was till I returned from the Gnomes go skiing. Just one more morning to remind myself I selected. The woods would have been too crowded this morning anyway.

PM saw the Gnomes on Mt Bikes at the road that is now closed. Up said road and round Knapsack before a descent of previously mentioned closed thorough fair. 1hr 15mins and plenty of of slow mo action found. Speedy transition and coffee at the bakehouse to discuss the plan to get me out of bed tomorrow.
