Well - I have been slacking in the posts but I've been pretty consistent with training. Yesterday I rode from my house to Cafe Domestique in Dundas, ON. The route was weird as it was longer getting to Cafe Domestique than coming home. There were some crazy hills to climb and even some crazy decants that had me on my brakes the whole time. Once we got to our "halfway" point - we had a grilled cheese with bacon *super yum* and then back out on the road. I knew there was a big climb coming up (Snake Rd) since it was one that we had come down on our way out. In my head it was a long and fairly steep climb, so I was a little worried about it. Funny enough when we got to it, it ended up not being nearly as steep as I thought and I had absolutely no problems getting up. Thankfully. After that there was a lot less climbing, so that was a big relief. We did encounter a nasty bit of torn up road and since we didn't know the area well we ended up walking our bikes through it which sucked but was better then messing up our bikes. All said and done it was a 168km bike ride. Wow was it long - by the end I was getting a little grumpy and just wanted to be done. But I will say my legs felt strong the whole time. I got up a lot of nasty climbs and was just generally happy to get that kind of distance under my belt. After the run I went for a 10 min run and while my legs felt funny I was running at a pretty good clip. Tremblant is so daunting. To think I have to ride another 12k and then run a marathon. YOWZA!!!! And it's crazy how fast IMMT is coming!
I was pretty bad today though. I was supposed to do a long run, but my running buddies bailed because the weather sucked (ok it was pouring rain and thunders storming) so I have basically done nothing all day. But my allergies have been driving me nuts and my legs are DONE.
I think the plan is to get up and go for a run tomorrow. Gotta get something done that is for sure! But I'm happy so far with my training, could be better but could be worse I think.
I'm sure when the day comes I'll be ready and thats what matters.
