Morden Half Ironman (Cornman)

ummmm, I may need to remember some time in the future when I see this that Max speed was 72k on the flats. Temp was about 11c wind was 52k/hr gusting at 70k per hour!

Early morning get the cobwebs out run...really humid/damp. Trouble breathing.

Get used to the lake swim. No wet suit.
Cool, but felt good.

Just rode around to get used to the bike again and to make sure everything was working.

I would have slept some more, but Sleepy, Dopey and Bashful have started to feel me up.

Leaving for Morden today. I was thinking about going for a little run, but I just don't feel like it. I might just walk around a bit and clean up my bachelor pad.

Wow! what a difference a new chain can make. I just kicked the bike through it's paces. Everything works...except the cadence! go figure. I'm going to get a new battery.
Smooth smooth smooth. And fast. Or is that me?

Brick!
Yikes...do you think I have a run in me? Distance is an estimate. I'm kinda sure it was more than 3, but the pace then would be faster than I've ever gone before, which is possible. I was flying and didn't stop till I got home.
Wow!
And it is hot out!

Must be the shoes!

Had to be done!

Swim to get the cobwebs out...kinda hard and kinda good!
I think I'm stuck on this pace!

Another good sleep. I think I'm all caught up!

Got start moving, I'm feeling the rust.

Wow, I needed that sleep.

Yesterday I was up at 4:30, was setting up the bike/run transition at 5:30, sweeping the turnaround and putting down pilons between 8-9 and then just doing stuff until 11:30.

Then I drove second born to camp (3 hours). Turned around in 20 minutes and then drove back.

In total that's about 8 hours driving!

The Regina Beach Provincial Triathlon was a huge success though, from what I heard (I only saw the bike/transition portion of it). 

Trisportnick did a fantastic job as Race Director! Just don't mention Dad's cookies or Bananas to him.

Taper week starts, or started...Lets see how I navigate through this.
