I've agreed with coach that 5:45/km should be my IM pace, so this was still a bit quick. But I have so much bloody energy now that I'm tapering. I held back on pace and used my energy alt... read more

good Brick up and down the road 2.71 km 00:15:00 08:54 pace
Just a steady aerobic brick run. All I could think about was how much I wanted my dinner. Legs turned over fairly effortlessly but my stomach growled loudly.

One square meals are awesome! I had them for Taupo...tho cutting them up was a fail, maybe cut and then shake a bit of rice flour on them so they don't stick. Great workout! Bet you feel awesome and that ice cream will taste even better! Next rest or easier day you should do some thing just for yourself, maybe hair done? Or a pedi?

Solid win. It's a fine line between stress adaption in training/being completely run down. You train harder than anyone I've ever met. It's no surprise you're feeling ropey and in debt, and if you are fighting an infection from cycling (Been there) there will be increased demands on your body at a cellular level. Take care, taper around the corner....

In today's news, New Zeland's very own Louise has discovered that cake and wine can actually improve triathlete performance. As news of this amazing fueling technique spreads like wildfire throughout the globe grocery stores are issuing a lottery system to combat the extremely long wait and limited supplies.
