let’s play a game.

Let’s play a game called, See How Much Water You Can Drink Without Going Pee. If we played yesterday, I would win. And win badly.

In other words: I rode 90k yesterday, and ran 10k immediately after (finishing at the hottest point of the day). I thought I had drank enough on the ride, but the last 3k of the run convinced me otherwise. As soon as I finished, I chugged 1.5litres of water in the Shoppers Drug Mart parking lot, and then ate an orea McFlurry (it was certainly earned!). Over the next several hours, I drank another 3litres of water [that's almost 5litres total]. And I didn’t even feel the need to pee until 4hours later. Since then, I’ve been flowing like a fire hose. So I think equilibrium has been restored. Which is good, because the fun starts again tomorrow.

Friday’s fun looked like a math equation.

4200m open water swim (6×400 des 1-3)
+1 hour break
+1:45minute ride with some threashold-type intervals (I had a really good ride today!)
+Immediately into 10X400 with 200rest (broken as 4, 3, 2, 1). I ran between 1:12-1:16 for all, and felt strong.
+Immediately diving back into the lake to cool off.
+30minute ride home.

Here are a couple pictures (stolen from the PTC blog) from a workout James and I did on Friday.

Muskoka is this weekend and I’m really starting to feel strong. We’ll see what happens!

Also…Props go out to Tom. Season debut, and a big W! Atta boy.
