When I set out on my bike at 5:50 this morning I felt fantastic. By the time I got home at 9pm I was ready to take the tram again tomorrow. I don't know if it was the 50kilometers that I rode today or the biking and swimming combo but I have serious muscle fatigue in both my arms and legs. Either way I guess I need some serious training before the ironman in March.

I know you're dying to hear why I rode so far on a Thursday. Well, I'll tell you! I had a house inspection this afternoon to see a prospective house. I liked it! I think it has the potential to be fantastic if I don't clutter it up too much. It's only 4.5km from uni so it will be a much faster commute and is just up from a bike path that runs to work.

In between my marathon of leg massages at practice tonight I caught a bit of the Olympics just as Australia won the 1000m canoe (yes canoe not rowing). I a fit of embarrassment I realized that I have lived here for 8 months and have no idea what the national anthem sounds like. Incase I'm not the only one, here it is: National Anthem
The really tall building at 2:58 is the one I'll be racing up.
