I'm lucky enough to know some serious triathletes and trainers, and they are telling me I better get my ass back on the bike if I want to survive Ironman Canada. I stopped riding when I found it was killing my back to back long runs, and I had the Seaton Trail 52k and Tennessee 60 mile Stage race coming up.They assure me my legs will come around to both running long and cycling if I give it a chance. As you can see ,I train on a trainer rather than on the roads. You would have to be insane to ride a bike on the road in Toronto, there are too many horrible drivers out there.Many of them can't see a huge red firetruck with lights and sirens going, so what chance do they have of seeing a cyclist?
Also, the bumps on the road cause my beer to foam up.

So here's the plan for this week.
Monday(today)-I hour on bike + 10k tempo run
Tuesday-3 hour trail run up north with Captain and Dora
Wednesday-2 hours on bike at work
Thursday-20 miles with Captain up North or solo in the Don Ravine later in the day if I have a busy night at work
Friday-rest up for race on Sunday
Sat-rest
Sunday -Sporting Life 10k
After this week, Dora, Cyrus,Captain,me and possibly Swiss,still have 7 weeks until Tennessee.I'm gonna give the bike 3 weeks and see how it works out.
