Have had a bit of a virus the last 4-5 days. Spent the weekend away with the family as my wife did the Challenge Shepparton 70.3. Watching her standing there waiting for the call into the water for the swim still gives me anxiety thinking about having to swim that far with that many people. She has this virus too and couldn't keep any food down, lost most of her nutrition on the bike and only took in about 400ml of liquid nutrition for the whole thing. Finished in 5:37 so although she's disappointed with the time it's a great achievement.

I'm feeling almost back to normal and will gradually get back to training in the next couple of days.

damn that really sucks for your wife. i remember something like that happening for one of her other races?

regardless, she is a beast.

hope you both kick that virus asap, sucks!!!!!$@

Thanks man. Yeah you've got a good memory. She lost her nutrition in the one marathon that she did and paid for it. Good thing is in her next race if all goes to plan she should be 15-20 mins quicker at least.

Quick leg session at home

Peterson step up- 3 x 10 @ bw

Front foot elevated split squat- 3 x 8 @ 16kg

Single Leg DL- 3 x 8 @ 16kg

J Curl- 2 x 8 @ 6kg

Followed up with a social netball game. I think this is single-handedly the most frustrating game ever played.

Quick update- Have been training every day/second day. No real plan and just getting in a session when I can. I call it pottering and that's going to be the theme for December. I have taken all training responsibility off myself for the time being and it feels good.

On a side note, I've had cold showers everyday about the last two weeks. I started it last year but never actually committed to it. Very easy to get started when it's 30+ degrees though haha. It's funny though the change in responses to the cold water. Even when it was super hot out the shower would be uncomfortably cold and I could only last small periods under the water. Had one yesterday when it was only about 18 degrees outside and I hung out under the cold water for a few minutes with no real level of discomfort. It didn't feel warm but it didn't feel cold either.

cold showers are really good. i do them often, but just moderately cold to finish off a hot shower.

i also do intense ones (hot to very cold) the days leading up to a mile race (or a very fast race). for some reason, it seems to help me with doing something "stupid", like going from a stand still to like 4:30 min/mi pace then trying to hold on to 4:5X pace etc. it's weird but i've noticed it helps. i think it helps temporarily (for a few days) destroy some inhibition. the places I think it helps:
- just starting an insane effort
- battling in a race
- kicking hard at the end of the race

because it's a similar feeling.. it's like, you don't want to do it, but you have to. so, you don't want to turn the knob to make it very cold, but you have to. then you don't want to step into that very cold water, but you force yourself to. and then on the flipside, if you can't actually commit to it, you're not ready to step it up in a race etc. that's something i've noticed, i think it's legit.

lol.

This is actually the reason I started them. I know there's actual health benefits but the sheer challenge of dipping your head straight into a cold shower every morning is an accomplishment in itself.

Had a stomach bug on Tuesday and haven't trained since. Felt pretty good yesterday but just hit an hour of stretching to ease my way back into it.

Will train today though. Feeling pretty good.
