This past week.

Thank-you ladies for an incredible week. I ate a bigger variety of food then I ever have. I am usually just a chicken and salad kind of girl. I believe I drank more this past week then I have in the last three months. And it was great to spend all that time with you and not get tired of it as it was my first vacation with friends.

Things started off with a bang. Sunday night was alot of fun. The alcohol was pouring, the chatter was endless and then there was the other stuff.....(we know what that is)!!! Although I did miss the second dip in the lake the stories made me laugh my ass off. I am just not used to staying up to late and anything after 9 is late for me.

If I have any of the days wrong please change them.

Monday we did a run along the Peach course for a PB of 56:56 for me. I was super stoaked about that. Sorry your knee was sore Michelle. We also did a swim in the lake. The run was hot but really nice. The swim was a two looper and I actually really enjoyed it.

Tuesday's ride was amazing. I loved the grade of road going up to APex for the most part. The downhill to Yellow Lake was alot of fun, but I could of done without the the grasshopper attack. Yellow Lake actually wasn't that bad for me this time. I now have the hill broken up into sections of my mind. But then there was the road up to the winery. Hot, long and relentless.

Wednesday was a run along the KVR trail and a swim. I really loved teh run and I wish I would of had a camera. The views up there are amazing. Then it was a one loop swim.

Thursday was the IMC course minus the out and back for around 160km. Way to go ladies! I ended up with two flat and only one spot where I really hated being out there. The added surprizes of bananas, gels and sharkies in our cooler that Ang had planted was great. The bananas were really a great treat. So cold and refreshing.. I could have one now!

Friday was an easy swim. I didn't really feel like swimming so I didn't put my wetsuit on. But I should have. It was pretty choppy again and I actually had to kick and it made me tired.

Saturday was an off day. I was really bored by about noon no Saturday so it was really nice to get out and go and see a few of the wineries since I hadn't been to one before this trip.

Sunday was a two hour run for me with a bit of stomach issues. And then a LONG drive home.

Thanks again for an amazing week.

6 more weeks until IMC. Train well and smart ladies. Treat yourself kindly and don't do anything silly! I have enjoued training so much this year and it is definetly because of TFNB. You are all amazing ladies and I am greatful that we are friends.

Morning

New morning, New week and I am excited. The weekend was a it of a bust. Swam in the river a bit, walked around alot, but no running. But there was quite a bit of beer drinking. And I decided that I am off the alcohol now. Okay, for now, as next weekend is going to be something fun!!!

Have a great week ladies.

CANADA DAY!!!

Ok.. first off I would like to say what a beautiful day it was today! LOVED IT :)

This is going to be short and probable not so sweet. Thanks for the ride ladies it was GREAT. Especially a big thanks to miss Catherine for keeping me company. There was only a bit of time where I thought it sucked, and it wasn't even the hills. One wrong turn up Old Clayburn road which added an extra hill and a few more km's, one flat and not much else to report on. Sumas mountain didn't suck at all like I remember (thank gosh). And the flat headwinds were actually really good for me. I just tucked on down and peddled like hell. LOVED IT!

Big shout out to Lisa who crashed :( Sorry to hear, but no broken bones, no broken bike (nothing that can't be fixed easily), and you will be back to riding in no time.

Thanks again ladies for us all starting out together, but really there was no way I could keep up to the power houses of Michelle, Ang and Miranda. You are all super speedy.

Well again, thanks for the day it was great. And now I am going to go and drink my really cold beer!
