Adelaide Classic Pro Cycling Race

The picture this week is me on the Great Ocean Road – one of my favorite from this trip.

The last two weeks of training have been quite good. 57km and 50km running respectively. The key sessions were 4x1km at 3:40 pace in Melbourne and 4x1 mile at 3:40 pace last Saturday in Adelaide. I’ve also had a couple of good swims in Melbourne with my buddy Brendon. It first I struggled to get into it, but after a while I was lapping at just sub-2min/100m LCM, which is not bad considering I’ve not really swam since October. In total 3.1km swimming one week and 4.9 the next week. Starting to feel the water again.

Last Sunday I went down to watch the Adelaide Classic pro cycling race in Glenelg. The race is a warm-up for the Pro Tour Down Under race starting on Tuesday and all the big teams were there. The sprint was won by a German rider from the High Road Team (formerly known as T-Mobile, before the sponsor withdrew support after the drug admissions last year from some of the old riders). Here are some pictures from the race.
