April Multisport Challenge - Crazy Canucks (Page 3)

uh oh.. I have been slacking.  My plan for this weekend is to get back on track, get some good workouts in and try to catch back up.  The 15th??? already???

I've got a pretty big weekend planned. The wife and I are visiting my parents in Kelowna and we are going to bike part of the Ironman Canada course in Penticton. I think we are doing 35km ride on Friday and a 10k run, 75km ride on Sat, and a 15k run on Sunday. If all goes well this weekend my biking goal and running goal are in the bag, I should be close enough to finish them without having to push it. The swim on the other hand is going to take some work. I have 5 hours and 10 min left to do and time is running out. I'm pretty sure I'll make it but this one is going to be tight. Have a great easter weekend everyone . 

Update: So i just checked my planned training for the month.  I missed a few swims for various reasons so far this month and have 4 hours and 15 planned for the rest of the month which isn't going to cut it.  So I now need to do all my planned training and throw in an extra hour somewhere.  Don't worry people I'll get it done.  Added complication my pool is closed for matenince the last week of the month, so I'll need to find an alternate place to swim.

This weekend...last big single-sport sessions before tapering for my race: 3hr run on Sat. / 6hr. bike on Sun. I hope I hold up.

Happy Easter CANUCKS!!!

I have a 45 minute swim and a 45 minute bike workout scheduled for tomorrow before I leave town.  Saturday I have at least a 60 minute run planned.  I am making much more progress with swim & run this month; now that I am off the trainer, daylight seems to get in the way!  I may just have to get my bike back inside .  We have a long ride event (62 miles) on the 30th.  It makes me a little nervous to leave that much of my bike time to the last day of the month, though!

Happy training and happy Easter, all!

I've got some bad news people.  I suffered a pretty bad injury this weekend.  My puppy escaped from my parents home and in the chase in bare feet I somehow raked my foot agaist the asphalt and took a few layers of skin completely off my big toe.  I couldn't get in any runs or bikes this weekend and I'm not sure when I will be able to again.  It hurts quite a bit.  I'm going to try and bandage it up and see if I can get a ride in today, but it looks like running will be out for a few days at least because walking is still kinda painful.  Also I was advised to stay out of the water for a while.  So seeing on how my bike goes today I think I may be able to do it and still make that goal, but running and swimming doesn't look good.  I'll try and see what I can get in, maybe take this week as a rest week and put in some extra time next week. 

I did however have a great time in kelowna and drank lots of wine .  Luckly my father is the general manager of an awesome organic winery so he has quite the supply and sends us home with a case or 2 everytime we visit.

So i just got in a long ride without too many problems which is good.  I think that I'm going to attemp running tommorow.  See how it feels. 

 Cheers
