April

Wow, April has so far been Amazing! Warm temperatures and sunshine, just makes training easier. I've been building up mileage on my runs and swimming is comming along well. Last week i went for a ride when an unfortunate event occured. I was about 5k out from my house and my pedal fell off the crank, still attached to my shoe! Thank god i was close to home because even the 5k of one legged cycling took a toll on my left leg! When i got back i took a look and both the pedal and crank were damaged and the bike is in the shop getting new parts.

Sunshine is in the forecast for this week and temperatures warming.

so long for now

Spring is in the air. Today was a beautiful day, April 1st and nearly 20 degrees. Went for a beautiful 16k run on the Cat trail and it felt like summer, although i did see some ice and snow in the shaded areas. Just over a week ago i returned from a training camp in Florida and it was amazing. Had a lot of long rides and runs and a couple of swims at the National Training Center in Clermont, Florida. Some of the workouts included 100km+ rides, a 70km bike and a 10k run for a brick workout and a 1/2 marathon run + a 3k swim. All in all it was a great time. It was nice to see all the Maple Trees in Florida Blooming throughout the week, something we will see here in Mid May. For now its time to take advantage of the sun and warmth and get riding outdoors!
