Back in NZ: September Highlights
After a long time away from home and some time off the bike, the month of September was about getting back into my life in New Zealand, settling into a routine, getting my fitness back and catching up with family and friends. The first couple weeks of training was tough but luckily my fitness came back pretty quickly, and I am now comfortably getting through 100km+ rides again! However, I am really missing the warm weather in Europe! (I tried to avoid the rain as much as possible, even doing some big days on the trainer! But success rate has still been rather low).
I spent a couple weekends in Auckland with my family celebrating my sister's birthday, hanging out with my nephew, and enjoying a couple outings with friends who I had not seen in over 3 months.
On my days off training during the month I spent most of my time sitting in front of my laptop working on the last few assignments I have left for the semester, and when procrastination set in I ended up with some delicious baking!
