Hotttt run. 38 degrees with the humidex. I think I am acclimatized to the heat though because I didn't mind it until the last few km's when I was thirsty and didn't bring water with me. Body still tired from Sunday's hard 10km; taking tomorrow off.

Attempted an open water swim this morning but it just was not going to happen in the "moderate" surf conditions. I knew the girls who were lifeguarding and told them to keep an eye on me while I went out. I splashed around in the waves for a bit, did a laughable amount of front crawl and then headed into shore. I will try again when conditions are more calm. It has been windy the past couple of days on the Island.

After failed attempt at open water swimming, I resorted to my safety blanket sport: running. 12km in 30 degree heat.

45km bike consisting of w/u, then 20km time trial on my way out to the cottage + c/d and then ~22.5km ride back to the city after being at the cottage all day.

20km time trial took 44:36. Not bad for my second ride ever on this bike and considering there was a headwind and crosswinds the whole time.

Back from a one week vacation.

Today: 20km bike (my first ride on my first road bike!) + 5k run

August 5: off - travelling
August 4: 50 min run + 50 min (1000m) swim
August 3: off/30 min hike
August 2: 10km run
August 1: short swim (200-300m)
July 31: 6km run
July 30: 10 minutes stepper + 60 min swim (1200m)
July 29: 5km run

I loooooveee my road bike! I am way less timid than I thought I would be. I quickly mastered the clipless pedals and am making progress with which gears work best with what terrain. My time was slow (55 minutes) but my Garmin died after 10.2km so I may be underestimating how far I went. Oh well, can't wait to go again tomorrow! My legs felt funny when I tried to run right after. 5k in 30 minutes.
