Training 2024 Preseason training reports and discussion

[briztoon]

Have you done the river loop much? I expanded from the half loop to the full loop for the first time on Saturday and it nearly broke me. Got to the top of Dutton Park and almost vomited!

2:02:26 which I'm hardly proud of but means I can aim for sub 2hrs next time.

Not as often as I used to. Most of our rides are out Wynnum, Wellington Point down to Victoria Point way, or up to Redcliffe and back.

Our group sometimes does an extended riverloop, where we head out through Kenmore, Jindalee and back through Darra, Oxley and Corinda.

Cycling is all about repetition. It gets easier the more often you ride, and then you extend your rides.


p.s. My first ride was 25km with a work colleague who did triathlons. That almost killed me.

I have a fitness hobby that's also good for my mental health.

I sail, but I need another 10-15kgs for the dinghy I sail on in February wind which has been over 25 km/hr plus 15km/hr gusts. This Sunday in MARCH - light 10km/hour.

See? Bloody February. Ruins everything.

Except rants. It's great fodder for rants.

David King saying the Suns will win a Premiership in the next 2-3 years.... how sad would it be if they won a flag before our next one.

Almost as sad as listening to David Kings opinion and thinking it's relevant.

For shame Jason, for shame!!

Shame on you for reading David King’s opinion, M Malice!

Kingy reckons we're gonna drop off, and also reckons Cottrell is going to be a superstar. Kingy just says things

My work tipping comp is through Disney (weirdly) and provides odds.

They have GC to beat pies next weekend.

I don't get it- practice games mean nothing when you do well, but suns last week showed no sign of a cohesive team.

Just can't see it.

The late pre-season teams do tend to start slower and the Suns have a lot to prove still. I could see it honestly.

But what about the stats?

That is a very steep hill if it's the one I think you're talking about... ? You go under the UQ Green Bridge and then wind your way up to Gladstone Rd?

You have probably cycled past me a few times, I go for an hour or more walk each day, I have several different routes I take but I always walk along the full length of Brisbane Corso, it's so quiet and peaceful during the week when most of the plebs are at work, weekends a different story.

I only use the bicycle when going to Yoga/Pilates in the early morning, leave home at 5.10am and it's only a 15 minute ride, the studio I go to is only 400 meters from the Gabba.

we're taking a very broad definition of pre-season training reports!!

Sorry to intrude but GWS play Collingwood next weekend, not GC.

 

[On the quiet]

If yer looking for a breakout player, yer should look at Darcy Willmot.

110%

That’s just your opinion tho

If gadzorks wants to tip Gold Coast against Collingwood next week that is his right

 

[M Malice]

A lot of love for Harry Sharp.

 

[Elixuh]

A lot of love for Harry Sharp.

Realistically his skills are the only thing that has held him back. It is also easy to forget that he only turned 21, 3 months ago. I reckon he will be best 22 start of next season. Should see a few games this year as well.

 

[Dalions]

A lot of love for Harry Sharp.

Delisting it is.

 

[Mr Ripper]

One thing the suns winning a flag before us might achieve is curing some people on here of their oddball gc-are-my-second-favourite-team affliction.

 

[KissKiss]

Delisting it is.

That is the dreaded pre-season hype that has led to several delisting's. May as well have said he has the full backing of the board. Sorry Sharpy its all over now

He is contracted for another year so he should be safe this year.
But it is a curse.

Are you saying they’ll become our no.1 if they win a flag first? I can see you on the trumpet after every goal.

Do do do do do do.

A work colleagues husband is a hard core Richmond supporter. Always has full membership, and with one of the add on “what ever” club, even though they only get down to Melbourne once or twice a season.

Went full on Suns member this summer. Has all the merchandise, has a couple of season tickets two rows behind Dimmas bench etc, was down last week for their members season launch.

Wonder how many other Brisbane based Richmond fans jumped on board.
