I felt good today. Probably because I had 11hr of sleep. It could also be because I took the day off to attend this talk. It could also be because I planted my garden this afternoon in the gorgeous 30oC weather. Paradise.

BareBones Duathlon

This post is an evolving race report from my experience at the BareBones duathlon in Penticton. Here’s the executive summary:

66 3/9 F3034 556 Joanne Fox | Richmond 1:51:20 |

I had a really fun time. I really liked how hard I pushed myself on the bike. I liked my calm approach to pre-race and the transitions. I was really really thirsty. I would have liked to have had a little more energy to push myself in this second run, but overall I was pleased with the performance (66th overall, 11th female overall, and third in my age group). Next year, I definetly want to break 1h50.

Nap

Had a busy day at work today (at a conference all day), came home and had a 1hr nap. I didn’t sleep well at all last night because I was stressed about the copyright infrigement situation that we’ve been having to deal with at work. I rode 30minutes on the trainer, felt pretty sick with this cold, and packed my stuff for the Penticton trip this weekend.

Skipped swim, Stanley

skipped swim workout today, sinus cold has hit me

run workout in Stanley Park at Beaver lake loop

warmup, 1km hard, 1km easy, 1km hard, warmdown

felt fast but tired tonight.

I had an excellent chat with my coach, Andrew, about training and managing fatigue today.  I feel much better about everything.  It’s really been an excellent journey.
