Rain rain go away…
With just under a month left of my time in Oz, I spent the weekend making the most of the sunshine, but Cyclone Hamish now has other ideas. He’s loitering with intent about 200km up the coast from us here in Noosa and we’re getting the dregs of it, resulting in seriously wet and windy weather.
In fact, I am currently sitting here toying with the idea of doing a 90min-2hr turbo rather than a 2hr ride, which must mean the weather’s bad as I’d usually rather ride in snow, sleet and hail than get on the turbo. I can already hear you crying: “Toughen up, you big softie” and I agree: my aversion to rain and wind must be a sign I’ve become softened by the Aussie sunshine.
The Aussies can’t handle it if they have to so much as pull on arm-warmers, so maybe I should just put on my bike gear, toughen up and get soaked like a proper Pom. At least it’ll be a good way of preparing myself for what’s to come when I return home in April ;-)
Happy training

Hi EK. All at Oxford Tri are enjoying following your progress- it sounds great. You will be sad to hear you have a missed a week of sunshine here in Blighty- I even went for a ride with only shorts on ( still a bit nippy!).
Take care and enjoy the training….. Cassington Lake time is approaching.
Thanks Guy, you’re brave riding in shorts! I’m back home now and think I might be chicken for a bit! Look forward to seeing you all at the lake some time soon (complete with hot water bottle!). The water will be 25c like it was in Australia, right?! ;-)
