May long weekend

Minute ride from Rick Bremness on Vimeo.

May long weekend and I opted to stay home for the weekend and do some training here rather that drive out to Penticton.  This is a timelapse of my the first half of my 90k bike. I had a big ride yesterday and today is Super Sunday.

 The day starts 9AM at the Bonnie Doon pool. It was a clear and sunny morning, no wind and 18 degrees.  I got to the pool a bit early and sat outside on a bench, in the sun and enjoyed a morning coffee before the swim. I was there to do a one hour swim training session that I was long overdue for. I had been doing a lot of swim training on my own, this was the first session back swimming with the team since the Ironman race last August.

After a tough hour of 300m warm up /400m kick /800m swim /400m drills. I was pooped and now a 2 hour run. There was a pretty big group, out for the run but as the day wore on people would slowly drop off. After a an hour I turned back and started my way back to the pool. It was a tough grind but it sure feels good to stop.
