Done and done.

We backed this workout up with a tough bike workout. It was meant as a simulation for the group going to Mooloolaba. Up and over a hill on one side (steep section then level out a bit, 1km long) then down turn around and up and over the other side (more gradual, shorter). We did this 8 times, for a total of 16 climbs. My legs were shot after 2 rounds. Dragged myself through the last 6 reps. Tough, but the workout was done.

An easy 30' run for me afterwards, while the Mooloolaba group did their heat training.

Kyle and Colin sweating through their heat session.
The absolute temperature (including humidity) was close to 50 C!
