4 day 22 hours to race day!

Over Memorial weekend, I made sure to continue my training, but did so at a more relaxed pace, I was on vacation after all! Saturday I went for a 30 minute run with my dogs Scudder & Jersey. The dogs lead the way for the first half of the run, but then fell behind on the second half, I guess we know who's in better shape!

I took Sunday off as a day of rest. Monday I went for a bike ride around the Briggs Chain of Lakes, about 7 miles in distance from what I've been told. The ride was easy, until I hit the open farm fields where what felt like 40 mph gusts of wind were resisting my progress, not to mention the unpleasant aroma of freshly fertilized fields.

Tonight I am going for a pre-race swim in Buffalo Lake. This will be a great test of the swimming training I've done to this point, and my first experience in competitive open water swimming.
