Train Hard

This has been a great week for training. In the words of Sean, nice crisp air and a ton of scenery!

Wednesday it was a bit wet, we did have a slight thundershower but I made it out of the bike for 90km. I kept the pace high and pushed the speed to make the legs hurt. Was able to go past Shannon and my house and they had a second floor which is pretty good. That night I headed to the track. Gord made me do 5x400. Not a tough track workout but was coming in around 75 to 79, which felt really good! At night hit the pool for a great 9pm swim!

Thursday I was on a course! haha i mean Golf course. I was unable to make the brick, but threw down a 10km run, where I ran it hard just above 4 min pace and then went to the pool that night!

Friday came quick, and was going to take an off day but wanted to get the legs turned over for the race this weekend so I did a 5km run sub 20 min.

Saturday turned into a big day! Started out in Caledon in the Quarry for a 3km hard swim with Sean and Jenn. Followed by a 70km ride. Sean and I brought out our stealth's (TT bikes) and threw it down. After that followed a 30 min run, which was supposed to be easy but turned into a a nice little negative split run. Felt great. This of course was followed by a dip in the local creek. Oh and yes the water was around 65 this morning!!

Getting ready for tomorrow half marathon run for the grapes. The tent is doing great too. This is the 2nd night Shannon has slept at 6000 feet in elevation!
