Training has been rolling along well the past couple of weeks. I have not been swimming as much as I would like (still struggling to make all the wkts while wearing other more important hats), but the focus has been on biking since I am gearing up for the Triple-T triathlon on May 22-24. I have enjoyed some excellent rides here in Guelph. The rolling terrain is just fantastic. It has been fun training with the Quarq CinQo PM for the last couple months, and trying to boost the FTP to a higher and higher wattage. Still lots of work to do! But I am as healthy as a horse (see video below) and have no aches and pains. Props to CoachCT and the PTC for their excellent training program and comradery. Mike Hay has been making it out to several sessions--it is great having him. Onwards and upwards we go.
Congrats go out to Dawn Van Vlack and Jim Cooke for their performances in last week's Boston marathon. Some recovery and then the attention switches to the upcoming tri season.
Jane MacLeod, Keith Henry, and Dennis Masse raced well at the Trail Half Marathon this past Sunday. It is an incredibly challenging course that I have MTB'd several times. I give all the respect to those that conquered it by foot. Jane is a terminator and won her age-group by 12 minutes! I had them ride 100k with a short run off the bike the day before this race--and they still managed to run well on tired legs. That weekend of training will help prep them for Triple-T and their upcoming Ironmans.
What events are on the horizon for Team LPC? Click the image below to have a look.
Annika will make her endurance sport debut on May 9th when she participates in the New Hamburg 3k Run. Beautiful Bre will push her in the stroller. I can't wait to watch this race, which will feature the entire Sharratt family.
This weekend I am off to Windsor for some fun training, and catching up with friends, family, and Team LPC athletes.
