On Sat, I did a kick ass 160k ride from home to Conway WA and visited with Francois and his wife. During the ride, I managed to (1) join the Ferndale WA Parade (Pioneer Days) and (2) ride through the finish of the Tour de Whatcom in DT Bellingham ("what's your number?" "um - nope! zoinks!" ride away haha). Good ride, I felt well and steady and strong. Enjoyed the beers afterwards! I also got in a SWIM and 5 other rides and 3 runs. The FODMAPping is going well, I am finding that wheat is kind of a bathtub effect with me - if I eat too much at once or smaller amounts accumulated over two-three meals, I feel like garbage the next day. I have also pretty much killed the post-nasal drip + morning phelghm burger cough-up session, I am blaming dairy for that one. Sunday was 4+ hrs of scraping old paint off the side of the house - ugh.
This week: ride x5-6, run x4, swim x1, scrape x1, prime x1. It's a long weekend too (Fri + Mon off) so I'm pretty stoked about that.
Oh, and I found out about this:
http://www.mastersgamesquebec2015.com/?language=en so I am already planning on the long track events, the short track events AND (squeal!) the MARATHON skating events (7.5k, 20k and 50k!)... and it's during Carnival d'Hiver as well :-)
Work is slowing down drastically - so I will likely be moving to 9 days of 10 (1 day off every 2nd week) for the remainder of the year. I refuse to lay anyone in my dept off. Gives me a day for killer skate training haha!
