I'm alive and doing fine!
First an explanation for my satisfying Tuesday just past.
Remember this?
I'm glad to say it's now functional!!
It keeps the rain off of my dear sister's chaos, and the bird shit off her head. And the bonus is, that it still lets the sunshine in!
The extra bonus is that I never fell off once!
And I haven't done anything strenuous since. I knew I was a wee bit over the edge after my 30 kms on Monday, and this would be the worst possible time to go further over. Both of my legs are still sore, and so today was another quiet day. Tomorrow will be long swim day, the first and probably last time I will swim 4000 metres. Then saturday will be a race simulation, in as much as that is possible. I suspect I'll be riding inside!!
And while it was a quiet training day, it was the exact opposite on the triathlon news front.
The World Triathlon Corporation (owners of the Ironman brand) today announced a new Ironman event for 2015......in HUNTSVILLE, ONTARIO!!!! Holy cow! This site was the other serious contender for Ironman Canada, that ended up in Whistler BC last year.
When I mentioned it to my wife she started to get a bit hysterical, and trust me after raising 4 sons it takes a lot to get her worked up. Probably I'm gonna need a bit of help with negotiating ideas. I need to think of something she really, really wants, that doesn't cost too much money.
And of course at this point I don't even know if I want to do another one, so I won't think about opening negotiations until after Tremblant. Time will tell, as it does all things.

Oooh, exciting. I would like to be your chief negotiator. I can send resume!
ReplyDeleteHmmm; let me think about this for a bit! My guess is that you will do what you wish to do, and might even temper wishes with common sense. And my other guess is that Roo will eventually be as supportive as she always is, provided that you really, really want it, and really, really, really, really use common sense. Maybe....
