Bring on daylight savings so we can return to the Time Trial Course! I am shattered today, shattered. http://broughton.id.au/2008/09/02/home-trainer/ Well recovery week has come and gone, and to be honest I don’t feel all that recovered.

I re-packaged my mobile phone service with a new phone, the same call charges and caps, but with the inclusion of wireless broadband.

I’m actually beginning to ... http://broughton.id.au/2008/08/20/things-looking-up/ Our training at the Tridents revolves around a 4 week cycle.

When in the middle of one of these cycles, by the time week 3 commences you know ... http://broughton.id.au/2008/08/19/4-week-cycle/ When ever I start to close in on the 100m freestyle world record that Sullivan fella who broke it off with Stephanie Rice, has to go and lower it again.
