The sumo wrestlers came and our school and did a wonderful job with the students teching them the art of sumo wrestling and rice pounding.










Plan for the week.
With my achiiles not quite right, I'll start pushing up the volume on the bike and may even start swimming again, if not, I'll definitely be in the pool by next week. The goal is to keep riding 4-5 sessions PW with 2-3 rides being BT sessions focusing on strength work and the other 2-3 rides aerobic/technique sessions.
Need to get my head mentally around riding 180k each week, which will mean riding around 6-7 hrs consistently. No need to push the pace on this ride yet. Just aim for getting good at going the distance first.
