Big weekend for me!
Saturday: I biked 88 KM, not quite the 100 I was hoping for but my knee got a bit sore, so I cut it short. It took me 3:36 to complete it. I then ran off the bike for 20 minutes and felt okay. The bike leg for my race is 94KM, so at that pace, it should take me 3:56. I ate quite a bit but was still hungry at the end. I consumed:
2 bananas
2 gels
2x 2 hour bottles of Hammer Perpetuem
1 Stinger bar (apple - tasted like soap! YUCK)
Water
I think I'll add some date cookies or something cause I seem to have a bottomless black pit where my stomach used to be. lol
Sunday: I swam 1800 metres in the pool and ran 2 hours. I ran pretty slow as I was concerned about my knee. It really didn't hurt during the run though, but after I was cursing all the stairs in my house. :) Lots of icing/stretching last night.
After this weekend and the feedback I received on the Muskoka course, I'm not sure that breaking 7 hours will be possible. Hey, as long as I finish under the cutoffs! It's all good!
Congratulations to everyone that completed IM Canada yesterday. Greg broke 10 hours! Mark got in under 13 hours and Leslie got 14:40! I didn't see Darryl's time yet. I tried to find Keith's time for the Alberta Challenge but the results have not been posted yet.
More later....

Perpetuem! Ick. Tried it once and it didn't do anything for me. It's good to find out what works and what doesn't. Might try a Cliff's bar to see what you think.
Sounds like a good workout for you as you prepare for 70.3. Don't worry about time goals if this is your first Half. Concentrate on finishing with a smile!
Take care of your knee, and good luck with your race!
