The weather is rediculous. I went out for a ride at 8:00 am this morning-(Saturday). After yesterdays torrential rains, the sky was quite clear and the road dry.
Ten kms into the ride and I was a ball of sweat---and this was to be 25kms at at race pace--tough it out I guess. Checked the weather when I got home and it was 100% humidity--how can that be and it is not raining? I hate humidity and don't perform well to say the least.
Basically pleased with the week and feel I have nice base, and no injuries- 4 good rides, 2 swims, and 2 paddles.
Now that the Tour de France (Wembledon, British Open, etc) is over, Nancy and I have our mornings back.
We hope to get:
-some work done around the house.
-some camping/travelling done.
-really get a serious schedule set up for the next month----doing double ups, increase in distances and intensities, and look at discipline transitions (I'm going to be slow enough doing the stuff, no sense losing time in between)
Mini Bruce does his laps in the tub.
While G-Diddy does his at the local swimming hole on the Cobequid Road.

I can drive beside you with a portable fan, will that help?

Bruce,
Let me know when you're doing transitions. I'll come out and help. You can gain (lose) a lot of time on transitions.

sarah - that's weekend at bernies -how astute of you!
dad - when you cook for sarah, it's just as easy to make a 2nd batch for me!! Do 'doins' freeze?
SG, if you really want a bike challenge, I'm planning to leave London (staying with Charles and the boys) in early 2008. It's then across the English Channel and head into the sun through France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, the assortment of pre-Soviets, into Kazakhstan, and into the PRC. Plan to be in Beijing just before the Olympics.
Maybe even beat 91 kph that we did in Gaspe.
