My blood pressure is kinda high but I don't really care much any more. I went for my scheduled check at the doctors office and they confirmed (160/87). For me it's now a matter of interest only, as long as it doesn't impact my training. Of course training is at a slow and easy point, but never the less I'm starting to gain confidence. I rode 50 kms today without any kind of suffering.
The next couple of days I'm gonna take it kind of easy, as I want to up my next long run to 25 kms. That will be more of a test both for my heart rate, and my recently re-aggravted calf problem.
On top of that I'm moving my long run up to Friday since I gotta drive Odd John and Grampa Brett to Welland on Saturday for their half Ironman. The race is actually Sunday, but we're gonna go down the day before and stay in the RV. I'm doubly excited by the fact that Colby is gonna join us.
I am so looking forward to it! Of course I'm excited to be able to cheer for two of my favourite triathletes, but I also admit there will be a small element of sadistic pleasure involved as well. That will start on Sunday morning when they slip into the cold waters of the Welland canal, while I head back to the RV with Colby for our second breakfast! Neither of them swims any better than me, so Colb and I will probably have time to cook up a nice batch of bacon and eggs, and still be back out there to see them off on their bikes. That's when I'll have my next nice moment, watching them shivering their way out of the transition. The race then moves to Niagara Falls where Colb and I will be enjoying the Falls, while all the fools wobble through the 21.1 km run! That's when I'm really gonna enjoy watching. Maybe I'll even shout some encouragements! Stuff like, 'why are you going so slow', or 'suck it up buttercup'! Idiots!!
And I just hope I'm sober enough to drive home at the end of the day, or Colby may have to miss school on Monday. He'll be heartbroken about that!! NOT!!
ride 50 kms
....and this would explain how I got this way....my christian upbringing
