Good training today. Four laps around the lake in Albert Park. Warm but overcast. They are busy setting up for the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix which takes place a week after the Games finish, so most of the park was out of bounds. The road/racetrack is really narrow - it's no wonder there isn't much overtaking.
Blagged our way into the swimming pool. What a facility - it looks amazing empty, so it's bound to be fantastic full. I got cramp climbing the steps to the top row of seats it was so high.
Back on the bus, then a quick lunch (hmm, noodles and swordfish) before tagging along to a bike race with the cycling team. 170 riders raced around a 3km motor-racing circuit for an hour plus three laps. All four Manxies rode well and it was a deemed a succesful outing.
I've entered the 5000m walk at the Telstra Track Meeting on Thursday evening. It looks from the entry list that it will be a fast race, so it will save me doing a rep. session.
