Thunderstorm.

Hello all. This week is finally recovery week and i've been recovering really well, maybe too well. I feel like I am undertraining abit because of so many miles over the past weeks and suddenly the volume of training drops. But I think it's good that I get some rest now and chiong again for the next 3 weeks, and i have faith in my boss.

Today's ride was crazy. It was the first time that I experience such heavy rain in Australia and I was suppose to ride 3 hours including some nice climbs. 1.5 hours into the ride, the rain came and it came full on. I could barely see anything and was a bit worried because of many big trucks passing me but I still rode on, just keeping as close to the side as possible. It got worse when I found myself lost and I went 1 big circle, not knowing where I was, and by the time I found my way, my hands and legs were numb and i was really cold. I guess it was a blessing in disguise as I also found a 10min climb in the process of getting lost and rode 5 hours in the end!

Anyway, I will be missing the CNY goodies, and I hope to smell some when I get back! Take care all!
