Chloe’s first birthday party out in the 37° heat (not as bad as it sounds) and then back to Mick and Jo’s for tea.

I really didn’t want to do this one but shut down the mind, walked out the back door, climbed on the trainer and got started anyway.
Turned out to be a big bunch of fun.

Really, really not feelin’ it.

Workout
50 Bastards @ 12.5 kg DBs
25 Jumping Squats @ 35 kg
2 x 30 Jumping Squats @ 35 kg
Notes
Bastards = 22:10
Seems like a lot of extra time for only 2.5 kg more (per DB).
Ok so, 5 kg more, total.
Ok, 25% more.
There, I feel better now.

Workout
50 x “The Bastard” @ 10 kg DBs
= 14:32 PR!
3 x 20 Jumping squats @ 35 kg
Notes
The task is 50 reps. My initial time was 17:55 with 10kg DBs, and I decided then that if I ever made it under 15 minutes I’d put the weight up, thinking that it’d take a pretty mighty effort [...]

Up early and out to the Youyangs with one simple goal in mind: climb at least one third of the vertical gain I’ll encounter at the Odyssey — 1,000m.
The numbers are here, but the summary info is basically this:
About 33% of the climbing, over about 40% of the distance, in about 40% of the target time. [...]
