#training

Over the last couple of months I really got into tracking my activity using my Apple Watch - especially since I was limited with the amount of exercise I could do (basically, just walking the dogs). I’ve got to admit, after a while ‘closing my rings’ became something of an obsession - Apple has got this gamification thing down pat!

Happy to end out the year with my first perfect month - let’s see if I can keep it up in 2019!

Weather forecasts were threatening rain this morning so ducked out a little earlier to get in my morning ride. Turned out to be great conditions, and gradually increasing my (mostly) daily distance and pace.

Signed up for the 100km @cycleofgiving ride in a few weeks - will be the furthest I’ve ridden in one stretch in well over a year. Following up with Ipswich 100 ‘Imperial’ ride (169km) and the Great Brisbane Bike Ride in April and the three-day @velothonaus in July. My @fnqdash training will be ramping up considerably over the coming months. 🚲🌅 #cycling #cyclist #cyclistlife #everydayathlete #training #earlymorning #dawnrides #greatbrisbanebikeride

"I love hill climbs!” - said no cyclist ever

I like to have targets with my cycling, and since I’m pretty time-poor at the moment, long distance rides aren’t really a possibility. So I’ve decided to combat one of the things I least enjoy about riding (hill climbing) and enter the inaugural @cootthaburn next February - essentially an uphill time-trial that climbs Mount Coot-tha overlooking Brisbane.

As many who know me know, Mount Coot-tha is pretty special to me - it’s where I proposed to my wife, amongst other things - hopefully when all is said and done I won’t hate the place haha.

I'll even try to raise money for charity (watch this space)

Training starts today. #shutuplegs
