Life on the Road in 2010 – Week 10

Aushiker | March 11, 2010 7:46 pm

The purpose of this series of posting is to summarise my week on the bike and exercising in general etc.  My week runs from Thursday to Friday, so Week 10 for me in 2010 is from March 5, 2010 through to March 11, 2010.

Totals for the Week Total Bike Kilometres: 

284.15 km for the week;  
3,326.43 km for the year.

Weight:  

99.2 kg; No movement. 
Total weight loss for 2010: 3.6 kg.

BikeJournal Rankings:

  • Australian Cycling Forums Club – 7th. Gained one place in the rankings.
  • BikeJournal overall ranking – 52nd. Gained back two places.

Okay week on the bike, kilometres down due to being back teaching on two campuses, which means I use a University vehicle instead of commuting on some days. Weekly average is 332.64 km a week. Would like to get back up to 400 km a week by year end.

On the weight front, I started the year in a less than healthy position at 103 kg and I ended the week at 99.2 kg, so no change which is really frustrating. My target for the month end is 98 kg, so 1.2 kg to loose. 

On BikeJournal.com I dropped out of the 50th, so my revised goal is to get back there!

In respect to the Australian Cycling Forums Club at BikeJournal.com my current goal is make the top 5.

Tuesday, March 9, 2010 45 km on the bike
No km running		 Joondalup to Fremantle in the afternoon via the Coast on the Look 555. No commute in the morning due to work commitments.
Wednesday, March 10, 2010 43 km on the bike

 Joondalup to Churchlands commute on the Look 555. It was a very windy ride with headwinds gusting over 50 km/h so took to the Freeway PSP.

Started cross-training, commencing the Couch to 5k in Nine Weeks podcast program. Got my first taste of running today and boy don’t I know it!

Sunday, February 21 34 km on the bike Evening commute to Fremantle via the river. Changed the route slightly, coming out on Canning Highway for the run into Fremantle.

Thursday, February 25 27 km on the bike Joondalup to Churchlands commute on Sir Lancelot. It was a hot hot ride, peaking at just under 40 C.
