    Totals:
    Dec Cycling Outside: 54.58 km (170 min)
    Dec Cycling Inside: 75 min

    Last weekend was not our usual weekend full of exercise ... my husband and I organised a hilly, long distance cycling event ... mainly him, but I helped with some of the paperwork, sorting out what food needed to be at which rest stops, shopping for things like 80 bananas, five 15-litre jugs of water, more real Coke than I've had in my house in years, etc. etc..

    The event was on Sunday, and my part was to hold down the fort at the finish line. So there I sat for 6 or 7 hours with a massive tray of Subway cookies (and other food) beside me.

    Before I had to be at my post, I was able to get in 75 minutes on my trainer, and while there, I managed to walk a total of 3.8 km. My husband was there with me for the first little while and again at the end, so I took a few brisk walks + a whole lot of pacing!

    We can breathe a sigh of relief that the event went well, and everyone was in good spirits when they crossed the finish line after 4,460 metres of climbing over the 210 km route. :)
    Dec 9 - 16.5 km (52 min) cycling

    Windy, windy day on the 9th (yesterday). That ride was a fight ... I don't have the upper body strength to hang on when 70 km/h gusts take out my front wheel. We were planning to ride further, but decided to call it a day at that point instead.
    Totals:

    Dec 12 - 23.8 km (75 min) cycling
    Dec 13 - 40.67 km (125 min) cycling

    Sunday's ride was a Christmas shopping, errand running sort of ride. Amazing how quickly the kilometres add up!

    Dec Time Total: 1923 min = 32 hours 3 min
    Dec Distance Total: 247.79 km = 153.9 miles

    Plus some time in there spent weightlifting.
    Dec 19 - 41.72 km (130 min) cycling with 510 metres (1673 feet) of climbing!

    And a little bit of good news ... I'm down 26 kg/57 lbs. Making improvements on that power-to-weight ratio. It is certainly easy climbing the hills around here in southern Tasmania without that extra 57 lbs.

    I'll be taking a little break on the weightloss over Christmas, but back at it again in January. Plus weightlifting, stair climbing, and lots of cycling to improve the power side of the ratio. I'd love to be able to go up hills like all the mountain goats around here who go flying past me like I'm standing still.

    @ohhim impressive on the yearly goal. I am a few miles shy of 3,250 and that was a pretty reasonable amount for me. 5k is unfathomable.... hopefully I will make it there someday.

    And a little bit of good news ... I'm down 26 kg/57 lbs. Making improvements on that power-to-weight ratio. It is certainly easy climbing the hills around here in southern Tasmania without that extra 57 lbs.

    I'll be taking a little break on the weightloss over Christmas, but back at it again in January. Plus weightlifting, stair climbing, and lots of cycling to improve the power side of the ratio. I'd love to be able to go up hills like all the mountain goats around here who go flying past me like I'm standing still.

    Last weekend was not our usual weekend full of exercise ... my husband and I organised a hilly, long distance cycling event ... mainly him, but I helped with some of the paperwork, sorting out what food needed to be at which rest stops, shopping for things like 80 bananas, five 15-litre jugs of water, more real Coke than I've had in my house in years, etc. etc..

    The event was on Sunday, and my part was to hold down the fort at the finish line. So there I sat for 6 or 7 hours with a massive tray of Subway cookies (and other food) beside me.

    Before I had to be at my post, I was able to get in 75 minutes on my trainer, and while there, I managed to walk a total of 3.8 km. My husband was there with me for the first little while and again at the end, so I took a few brisk walks + a whole lot of pacing!

    We can breathe a sigh of relief that the event went well, and everyone was in good spirits when they crossed the finish line after 4,460 metres of climbing over the 210 km route. :)
    Dec 9 - 16.5 km (52 min) cycling

    Windy, windy day on the 9th (yesterday). That ride was a fight ... I don't have the upper body strength to hang on when 70 km/h gusts take out my front wheel. We were planning to ride further, but decided to call it a day at that point instead.
