4 day Weekend!

Friday Night Carley and i went and saw 4 Day Weekend, which is a improv comedy act at one of the comedy clubs in Sun dance square. It was nice because it was a 2minute walk to the club. The show was probably the funniest thing i have ever seen in my life. Carley had to be the first one there so we were at the club at 7 lined up waiting to get in for a 730 start. She wanted to sit front row so we were involved in the show. Involved was not the word i should have used. We were the examples used the whole act and had many songs and jokes sung about us. Pretty hilarious. They came up with lots of Canadian jokes and all in all it was a great time. I almost wet my self a few times in the hour and a half show. It was so great and i would recommend it to anyone to see atleast once.

Saturday was a good training day. I did a 4hour ride, 130kms tempo averaging a pretty good 36kms/hour on a rolling sort of course, the average was well maintained due to some motor pacing off a dodge ram on the way home. I think i rode 15kms behind the wheel of this dodge ram before he even noticed i was drafting off him. Oh well when he realized it, he dropped a gear and blew me a way. oh well it was fun while it lasted. I started the ride out with Clay but dropped him 1 hour into the ride, so i was feeling pretty good. Off the bike i ran 45mins at a 325:330 k pace, which felt pretty tough but i felt fairly good at that pace after a long week of training. After that it was some core in the afternoon and that was it for the day.

Sunday- Starting the day off with some sort of food poisoning i woke up and instantly felt like puking. Not too sure what was the problem because i got 11hours of sleep last night. Oh well pretty weird. I ran 40mins in the am, and puked twice on the run so i decided i was going to chill ax and try running again in the afternoon. I narrowed it down to some warm chocolate milk that i drank yesterday after my brick workout. Oh well, instantly i felt better, and later in the afternoon, i finished the rest of the run 1:15mins of running in the trails out at benbrook. I involved some tempo half marathon pace but really it was just logging some miles. I felt great, i didnt even feel like i had puked early in the day. Oh well it was a great run in the trails, i saw some caribou, wild turkeys and one rattle snack that made me run like a BAMF until i had dropped the slithering creature. Oh well some core later in the day with a good 25-27kms of running. It was off to bed early because i have a massive week coming up with hotter than hell road race on the weekend.

Weekly totals:
19kms swimming, 230kms biking, 80kms of running.
12 weeks till Clearwater. Another big week coming up.
