dear rain clouds: you suck

Not that you didn’t notice, but it’s been cold and rainy the last 4 days. It’s not that I don’t like rain (e.g. it makes the pain in the run workouts quite a bit less), but when you are teachiing backyard swimming lessons 6 hours a day, it just gets really, really cold. Looks like tomorrow will be nicer.

Training is rolling. Just loving being with the PTC crew. Lots of good energy to work off of.  I’m actually surprising myself with the workouts I’ve managed to do. Some great swims, actually generating a little bit of power on the bike, and a couple good run sessions. Last night we did an 8k progression run (speeding up every 2k) and I was just about at 10k race pace for the last couple k. We’ve decided to race this weekend because I’m dying for some competition.  It’s the Peterborough Sprint (a course that I don’t love), but it’ll be excellent to race on somewhat tired legs and see what happens.

Ps. Not sure if I can root for Lance when the tour starts, but this commercial makes it awfully difficult not to.
