Day 4 - Coramandel to Mata Mata - 150km

Day 4 already, developing a little bit of a routine to the days now, and the body seems to be recovering well for the next new day as well which is great, so looking good as we head into Day 5 tomorrow.

TOday, we had a nice easy 13km ride through Auckland to grab a ferry to Coramandel and the start of an Aquathlon (1km sea swim, 5km run) - I opted out of this one, to save the legs for the riding, although the camera crew spotted me and had me running intervals while carrying a hand-held camera running alongside those taking part in the race (Gordo - any points for 1km of intervals???), hopefully some great footage should come out of those!!

The ride today was 150km along the coast line, with 2 climbs within the first 20km of the ride, legs felt reasonably fresh today, so had a nice push towards the top to see how they felt - pretty good, and then enjoyed the rest of the day in the bunch after everybody re-grouped. some great descending too.

a little tight on time tonight, 8.30pm here now and bedtime is calling, early start tomorrow.

Details on todays ride and tomorrows ride to come.

  2. So... how exactly do they take your core body temp? Do you get extra points for inventiveness?

    Keep it going mate, enjoying reading all about it would much rather be there in the sun.
