Canada Day

It may have been a holiday but having a day off from work in the midst of training for an Ironman is prime opportunity to do some long training. I did this week's long run which was 2 hours. I felt not too bad and the second hour was better than the first. Last weekend's 4 and a half hour cycle took quite a bit out of me. On June 30th, I swam in the morning and was planning an hour and a half bike ride before going to a friend's house for a BBQ. I lied down for what I thought was a few minutes and woke up an hour late for the BBQ. I am going to cycle for the 90 minutes (that I missed on Tuesday) today.

I am looking forward to the Fredericton Triathlon this weekend. There are a lot of people from PEI going and I am, strangely, not feeling much pressure to achieve any particular result. That being said, at this point in my training, I am starting to feel stronger and should have a good result in an Olympic triathlon. I don't have any new triathlon pics but may post some of the ones I have from previous triathlons.
