Epic!!!!

Wow, the only word that comes to mind while thinking about the epic ride that we had today!! So let's start at the beginning. Start the day with speaking to the bosses at running room, who by the way are amazing!!! I was scheduled to work today, but they made it so I was able to train even with late notice of it. Find out just before 9 that Iwas going to be able to complete all the training today. That meant at 9 I had an hour strength session with trevor. That went solid and the 5 km swim after that went alright too. Felt pretty tired from the 4 week build we just had though. Then for the ride...It started at one o clock, ride out to thetis and drop off some run/wlak brochures at the gunner shaw. we stated with 12 and then by the time we reached sooke it was just three, Stevo Brooke and I..We reached sooke and all starting to bonk, so we decided to stop in at the shell gas station for some.."snacks" A bag of cookies, and achocolate bar and a jolt drink each and we figured we were ready to head back. We headed back for the last 50km of our ride and eventually made it back in the dark at 5:30. Big props to brooke who dug soo deep just to get back. The ride ended up being over 4.5 hours and only about 15 mnutes stoppage time. Overall an awsome day even though the legs are a little numb.

The rest of the week consisted of "doing a triathlon a day." I had a swim bike and run every day this week with either stregnth, yoga or core added on and then a little bit of work aswell. Overall a great finish to an awsome 4 week build where I have been able to really push myself. One more day of hard training until monday, day off!!! very much needed....Well now it is bed time...
