A Conspiracy!

Friday was a great day, firstly it was a 'rest' day from training and secondly it was my last day of work for the next 4 weeks i.e. returning 1 week after the race :) And it was date night !!! Liza took me to our new local (2min walk from home) fine dining restaurant 'The Engine Room', which I would highly recommend!

Saturday morning and BRICK time again.  Today the support committee did a tag team affair with Nana meeting me for a swim (60min), Camp Mother taking on the bike (4hrs) and Gusy finishing out the run (80min).  It is only now that I think they had conspired to make it one of the hardest sessions possible.  Nana made me swim out to bouy 4 and back, whilst she headed to bouy 2.  Camp Mother told me off for slacking on her effort sessions, so I ended up gunning it! which hurt.  Then Gusy changed my planned run route and added a few hills and Im sure I ran further than I would have, I expect she kept picking up the pace so I had to run faster.  Im onto you buggars!

But I managed and actually enjoyed it!, even the run which I normally hate.  I felt strong and like I could have run a lot further.  Which is a good feeling leading into race day.  But I gotta admit when I got home I was stuffed and Im picking it will be early to bed as I contemplate tomorrows 6hr bike ride :)

Thanks ladies you did awesome!
