Tour de St. George - A Few More Photos

Brenda sent me a few more photos from our adventure in St. George, Utah last night so I thought I would share them.

You can see the whole album on Flickr HERE.

Here are a few more of the highlights:

A bit blurry but you can tell the theme of the day is FUN!

Typical road during the ride. Rural and a bit bumpy but the view makes up for it

Smile never left my face all day

A fellow participant from Utah also stopped to admire the view and take our picture.

Utah is a very friendly state

Last rest stop of 4 on the 100km route

Grabbing a Bonk Breaker from my back pocket

In the last 5kms of the ride we took a turn on to the off road bike path.

This section of the bike path goes through a driving range. FOUR!

A walk in the water park in the centre of town to cool down the feet post ride

Checking to see if I am tall enough to ride the Carousel at the park. Yup, good to go!

Enjoying the Town Centre post ride

I can't say enough good things about this event. My only regret is doing the 100kms instead of the 100 miles.

Happy Training!

|ronman Canada Race Report - Part 6 (Final Report but just the beginning)

Run – 42.2kms – 5:11:09 The run was slow and basically went as planned. The first 3kms of the run are in and around the finish line. When I was at about the 2km mark, I could hear Jordon Rapp, the race winner giving his victory interview with Steve King. How crazy is that??!! I have 40kms to go on the run and the winner has finished. As I headed out of town and down Main Street I saw www.twitter.com/kelownagurl and her husband Erik cheering me on. Not more than 50 feet later I saw www.twitter.com/trifunster and her husband. I was running slowly but had a smile on my face and felt pretty good. I was not really concerned about the distance I had to cover still. I was pretty excited that I had now finished the swim and the bike and was now on the run. It was like being in a dream how quickly the time had passed during the day. Around 9kms into the run I started to feel the distinct tightness of my right IT Band. I had ITB 10 years ago when I first started to run marathons but t...

April Fools 1/2 Marathon Plus 15km cool down

After my minor breakdown at work on Friday, I set off on Saturday for Sechelt. I have run the April Fool's Half Marathon two times and this was my third time. It never fails to be hilly and hard. Sunday morning I started off at in Gibsons ready to run to Mission Point Park. I took it very conservatively knowing that I would be adding another 15kms on at the end of the 'race'. I crossed the finish line, collected my medal, filled my water bottles, ate a piece of bagel and a bite of banana and kept running west. I do not recommend running your longest run before a marathon in Sechelt if you are not used to hills. That place is full of 12-15% grades both up and down. At the end of the day, I ran from 9:17am - 2pm with a few quick breaks to refill bottles, eat gels and take few rocks out of my shoes. After a shower and some real food, I was back on the ferry to North Vancouver. Reward: Whit...

Let the FUN Begin!

We are off to Penticton today. I am feeling excited and getting more nervous but basically OK still. All my training is done. I rode 80kms on Saturday and ran 60mins on Sunday. Now it really is just a few more short training sessions away to IMC! The weather forecast has changed since my previous update. It is now looking more like 33-35C on Sunday. No problem...I have trained in hotter. :-) All my lists have been made and my stuff is packed. Now all that is left is a few days of festivities and the BIG DAY! For anyone who would be interested in following the race, you can log into www.ironman.com on Sunday at 7am PST for coverage. My number is 2396. Happy training and racing everyone.
