Day 5 ...and Training!

I think I am finally over the need for coffee. Woke up had my normal breakfast and usually have the need for a coffee...but not today! Had my tea and off to work I went. Also went out for dinner tonight and no drinks!! I must say I have been adding Lemon Juice to the green tea and it was cleaned me right out! Good Times.

So training today! It was a solid workout. I met up with James, Mike, Dave, Tom and Steve and we were going to do a serious brick! For the guys it was their first brick of the season so we were a bit conservative.

The workouts was 3 x 6km on the bike into a mile run. Drop the times each one.

The first bike was a tempo, which we did as a TT with a bit of drafting! Off the bike I stuck a 6min mile. The next two we had to drop the times. The second bike we went out a bit harder and formed an echelon, which gave each of us a 5 second pull at the front then recovery. Off the bike the guys were moving and James, Dave and Mike did a 5:35 mile and I came in with a 5:42 not too bad after yesterday's workout. The last was all out. My goal was to really work the bike and hold steady on the run. I did just that and threw down the same pace as the last mile. Solid day at the office! Excited for the weekend.

Also I just probably saw the funniest movie ever! The Hangover! I haven't laughed so hard in a while, especially when they find a tiger in the bathroom..."there is a jungle cat in the bathroom" Funny!

Tomorrow is a long bike, swim and spending time with my wife!
