Really easy. Talked all along. Weird pain behing left knee.
I'll try to do the more I can outside the house today. Maybe a ride late afternoon to spin the legs.
Nice race yesterday. I got the Du / sprint combination in the teeth though. I started with a speedy 5k (for me) of 17:23 (!!!). :) PRed by over a minute. Then, the bike wasn't so good for the first 5km (maybe because of that PR! ;) ) and then I picked it up a little to average 35.5km/h (22mph). The final 2.5km were ran at a similar pace than the first run. A time of 1:00:02, 9th overall (out of 174) and 3rd in AG. Update : Heh, I just went to see the results online and I'm now 1st out of 15!? The 8 guys that finished before me were elites. :)

WU with a few accels.
WU with a few accels.
Speediest run ever, I was trying to follow the youngsters!
I missed my Kuota...
CD to spin the legs before massage. :)
Always nice after a race...
1) If you're looking for me, don't try to spot me with the black/red and white bike. It's broken! I'll ride my Cannondale and try to nail that 20km.
2) Like it wasn't enough of a drama, the Tri is now a Du. The authorities said the water was contaminated. So, 2.5km run - 20km bike - 5km run. 9:30 + 32:00 + 18:30 Giddyup!
3) Phelps is an animal!
4) About time Canada starts collecting medals...
Time to go kick some a$$!

So much things to do with not enough time. My bike is a mess. I have to clean it, change a flat tire and make sure it's ready for tomorrow. Speaking of bike, that fucking piece of junk is cracked. I now have the complete certainty that it's the frame that is cracked, not the paint clear coat. Now, I can hear the carbon crack/break each time I get up and torque a little. My problem isn't the fact I won't get a new one, I will. It's the fact I have to give it to the tri shop and they'll send it to Kuota. THAT is the problem. I have no idea when it'll come back. I bought a TT bike to ride it, and USE it when I race. If I send it now, I'll most probably won't have it for Texas, my only A race this season... Ugh. No worries, I'll get over it and be a grown up about it in a few hours.
On another note, I got free tickets to go see the "Grand-Prix de Trois-Rivières" from a friend. So I'll be watching race cars today and then come back home to get the bike ready. Have a good day people!

Outside swim. I was slow. Kinda pathetic but I'll try to rest and gain back the energy.
Mainly Z1-2 stuff.
15min WU through the wood...in the hood.
Then went on the track for speedwork. 1000m pace 10k, 800 pace 5k, 600 pace 5k+, 400 pace 2k, 2x200m pace all out -.
3:26, 2:49, 2:00, 1:15, 36.3, 34.6
Ankle status is "ok". Nothing major. Cut the cooldown short a little. There's hope...

Ez ride with the club. Yes it rained again, but at least it cleared up before I was too humid.
A few errands today, especially at the tri shop. I need a tire, 3 tubes, a bento box maybe, and I want them to check the bike because it cracks a lot now when I'm up and putting some horsepower. I hope it won't break in half! ;)
Cool ride yesterday. Got some rain again so I was pretty happy that I had my booties and rain coat with me. NEVER leave without them this summer here...
