Slow spin around the neighborhood that got interrupted by the rain...again.

Update : I can't find the Big Mac value meal + 3 Mc Nuggets in the nutrition option. ;) Ugh. I'm still hungry!

Thanks for all the thoughts, very appreciated!

Very nice day on a very tough course left me very happy about the result. Aside from some little technical problems (like an insole rolled up in my shoe for 10km!) and waves the size of my desk, I'm definately satisfied with my 3rd AG place and 12th overall on 200 athletes. More details tonight.

Little recovery ride after work to spin the legs.

Nothing says good morning like noticing at your 3rd toast that the bread you're eating is moldy. Yummm...

Was supposed to run 30 minutes like coach asked with 10 minutes Z2 but my 2 overzealous friends made me run longer. I ditched them at some point and came back and they continued until 60 minutes.

Little discomfort in top left knee. I'm still fighting something. I hope it doesn't get out tomorrow or on race day.

Update : Got some nice nap in. I'm supposed to go for a 30 min run with 10min Z2. Supposed is a nice word. Don't feel like it. Then, I'll go at Pierre's appartment to clean the bike. Tomorrow is departure for Magog with a few club members.

Meh. Re-Meh... but at least I leave work at noon ;)

While talking on the side of the pool.

It's windy and raining, and dark. I've seen better. If I was a reasonable person, I'd be in bed right now...But if you're looking for me, I'll be in the pool, dammit. Work, and then ride with the crew. Not sure of the plan though. Must be long Z1?! Jeudi en groupe à 17h, technique pédalage et enchaînement au Parc Technologique 5x (2’ course + 1 tour vélo technique 1’ jbe gch - 1’ jbe drt - 1’ les 2)

Few precisions : The Kuota doesn't crack anymore, it's new again. My shoulders don't crack either, especially after the unexpected massage, but *I* am not new...
I'm sore like hell.

No time to sleep in this choppy water!!! The waves were big compared to what we have usually. Wore the wetsuit since it was cold this morning and was glad I had it at some point when we got the water temp dropping noticeably during 5 minutes.
Back of the left shoulder was sore after 3-4 minutes, again. Nothing new there but I highly wonder WTF!?!?

Baaaad night of sleep. Going for an OWS with Pierre and coach. I'll try not to fall asleep in the water and do like what happened recently at the NY triathlon...

Run after work with the crew. Intervals on the menu. Yumm.
