Cypress

This was an empowering workout.  I definetly want to do the climb up Cypress again.  It was 45min top to bottom.   The way down was soooo cold.  I rode up beside Stan the whole way.  Benny bought us all coffee and treats at the Savory Pie company afterwards.

My legs are really stiff today. It took me a long time to get warmed up at the track workout. I switched Friday’s swim with today, so that I can swim with Alison on Friday at Kit’s pool.  I iced my quads in the evening.

Killer Bike Ride

Maia killed me in the morning with too many lunges and squats (35 min strength core + legs, 10 min stretching)

I pushed real hard in this workout. Good times.  I was sore from the morning workout.  I took an advil before sleeping to make sure I had a good sleep (it was!).

Flat

Today I got a flat on the bike ride, just before the Spanish Banks hill. It was a nice morning, so I took my time and changed it with no problems. It’s good to get that out of the way before the race in Victoria. I cut the ride a little short.
