No Offence, But You Stink

Last night's duathlon was another good effort for me (although, I'm sliding further back on the results sheet).

There was a strong wind on the bike, so that hurt overall time. I was happy with Run 2, as I pushed through the discomfort and went about as fast as I could.

When I got home, Guylaine had my supper ready (thanks), and then she dropped this gem on me, when I went to give her a hug:

No Offence, But You Stink

I'm guessing she isn't a fan of the sweet smell of an honest workout.

Friday Morning Swim

Again today, I rose at 5:05, for the 6 AM swim at Meech Lake. I'd been teasing myself with a "Beach-to-Beach" effort (Blanchet Beach to O'Brien Beach - approx 3.8 k a.k.a 2.4 miles a.k.a. Iron Distance). I talked myself out of it in bed last night - feeling somewhat fatigued by the du.

Instead, this morning I opted for "Island Loops". There is a cottage on an Island just off the beach. A round trip loop is 700m give/take depending on how straight you can swim.

So, wrapped in my new Orca Speedsuit, I set off.

Today, I did 3 loops: Loop 1 = 12:01 (1:43/100m), Loop 2 = 13:02 (1:51/100), Loop 3 = 13:10 (1:52/100) - Approx 1:49/100m for 2,100m distance. I'll take it. I wasn't pushing too hard, so that's pretty decent.
