Well - it's been a little crazy lately. The ride to conquer cancer was great weekend, but no rest for the wicked. Ironman is still looming, and getting closer and closer in the distance - and that is scary. Whats even crazier is that the Mt Tremblant 70.3 is NEXT weekend! Holy cow!!!! This week was interesting training wise. I worked (teaching) every tay this week so it was a tough to get all my training in. Luckily I'm resting a bit for next weekend. But Sean really wanted me to get out for a 90 min run on Tuesday which I did. Can't say I'm running fast but 90 min was really comfortable. I ended up going for an easy 45km bike ride yesterday (Saturday) with Doug. It was nice to get out - hit some pretty decent sized hills on the way to the Spirit Tree and actually felt pretty good going up them. Today I met up with some training buddies and ran another 90 min. It was a pretty slow run but I have to remember that it's all time on my feet. The reality is that even slow running is faster then walking so I'm hoping next weekend to run more of the run then I walk.
I'm actually not worried about the bike for once, as I know my bike training has been pretty solid. Having already done 2 130+km bike rides fairly recently the 90k bike next weekend is really not at all intimidating. Especially since last weekend we hit Sydenham Rd somewhere around 110k into the ride. I'm pretty sure that hill is far worse then what I'll face in Tremblant so I'm feeling pretty good about it. I've been using my Infinit nutrition and so far so good. No tummy issues and given that I used it all last weekend, especially on the long day and felt strong the whole time. I think I've found a winner.
The school year is coming to a close so training will really be ramping up as I will have more time without 2 jobs to fit in. I just can't believe how fast the time is going! Yikes!
