WEEK IN REVIEW

This week was an excellent training week with all workouts completed and heading in to a recovery week I feel great.

I had 2 swims of 3000m and 3200m. 3 runs for a total of 3 hours including a long run of 1 1/2 hours. One bike of 4 hours 10 minutes (120 km), one bike of 40 km (1 1/2 hours) and taught a spin class for an hour. Also got in 2 weight workouts and 2 shorter yoga sessions. All this while Anaka was sick and planning our ISAC Basketball tournament.

This week is a recovery week, well scheduled as I have 5 teams flying in from outside Egypt to compete in the basketball tournament we are hosting. In the sights after this week is a ride to Ain Soukna (140 km) where Jaz and Anaka will meet me and we will spend a couple nights on the beach. The weekend after we have our annual Taba-Sharm assault. We drive to Taba on the Egypt-Isreal-Jordan border and stay at the Taba Hilton. Bright and early the next day we ride to Dahab along the coast (Gulf of Aqaba). This is a 140km ride with some MASSIVE climbs. We spend the night at the Dahab Hilton then ride to Sharm the next day. This is about 110 kms with several moderate climbs. I will probably try and get in a run after each day's ride.

Cheers for now.
