Weekend in Vancouver

I am on my way back to PEI after a fun weekend in Vancouver. Prior to leaving last thursday, i had a good open water swim followed by a 5 k run with the tri group. My endurance for multiple legs (ie a swim followed by a run) seems good. I haven't been biking much and a bit nervous about how I will fair in the up coming PEI triathlon. It is a pretty flat course at least. I didn't do any training per se in Vancouver; i did do some water skiing and a vigorous hike up the "grouse grind" which is a 3 k hike up a mountain. I was completely soaked with sweat and my heat was pounding. It is an intense workout. I did a bit of swimming and playing around in my friend, Mark's pool. On wednesday this week, i plan to do a short bike run in stanhope to see how i feel.
