Oh yea!!!!!! The countdown is in days now...not weeks. The closer it gets the more ready I feel. Did not get out for a ride on Friday..some unexpected stuff came up and life got in the way, so it was my usual Friday rest day.
Saturday - Very hot....so I waited until afternoon to get out and ride. Makes no sense...but had stuff to do in the morning. Scorching close to 40C with the humidity. Wanted to get in a 100K ride. Loaded up with 3 water bottles. Somewhere along the way one launch off my XLAB. So down to 2. Could feel the heat. Ride was harder and slower than usual. Stopped at a store in Newcastle for a few litres of Gatorade. That was just what the DR. ordered. Have learned to always have at least $10 with me on rides. Stopped at a friends place in Bowmanville for water after that. Still a good ride....just over 85K with a 28.6 average. But wanted to go longer. Ran out of time.
Sunday - Feeling good. Hit the treadmill for a run. Ankle feeling good. Went for a 12K run. Going to start and go to about 15K for the runs. Running is soooooooo boring. At least when you ride you pay attention to the road...cars...pot holes......at least I have the iPod to keep me slightly distracted. But not on race day.
Not sure what I am feeling like tonight. Maybe hit the pool for lane swimming and have a 30 minute run or ride afterwards.
I am feeling lean.
