Looking back, the first week of April was a good strong week of riding that included a mid-week ride to Horseshoe Bay and the 100km Pacific Populaire.
We had absolutely gorgeous weather for the Populaire. In fact, the ride started 30min late because the sign up line went down a block and around the corner. Nobody minded, we just spent the time socializing in the sunshine (picture is of me hanging out in the crowds at the start line). It’s not a race, but Jody, Andrew and I rode really strong. We finished in 3h20 (3h13 for 94.6km on my bike computer). The coffee and snacks after the ride tasted really good. I enjoy these good hard efforts riding with buddies. I’m looking forward to tackling the 200km in a couple of weekends.

The running is coming along – only managed one long run this week (an easy 10:1s). My left knee is still a little sore, so I’ll continue to rest and/or run easy until it feels totally better. Physio says I’m good to go, but it’s still feeling a bit sore.
