(post 25) Keeping Hydrated In The Heat Of OZ

I took out my Focus Izalco bike today and it was great, you can get so much more Power in the forward position and I took minutes of my PB for the 1hr effort when last year I just used my road bike and that didn’t give me the same performance.

Most Wednesday I do a long ride with Brad K (2006 Commonwealth Champion ). Sometimes we go into the hills but usually we ride flat and very easy as he recovering from motor pacing and I’m usually recovering from my TT effort.

Every Saturday I do Crit bike race with Brad and some other strong guys like Amos to see what sort of shape we are in.

The heat and humidity has really starting to pick up here so I have to make sure I keep well hydrated, last year I got bad cramps during one of my sessions and had to take a couple of days off, so I’m not going to make that mistake again.

There has been bush fires in Melbourne which is a long way from here but because of the heat there it has started fires and they are burning out of control.

I am doing a 5k fun run in two weeks time so that will give me some idea on were my running is.
