Training: 1 session - Ride/Run brick (122K/6.5K)
Got up early to drive up toand park at the south end of the bike course. Was concerned as it was dark, cold and wet. But on cue the rain stopped as soon as it became light so I headed up the road to Port. Turned out to be a beautiful morning and I was blessed by seeing a stunning sun-rise. Completed 2 laps of the Ironman bike course (4hrs08). Had forgotten how uneven and bumpy a lot of the road is. Feeling good that I can get through it OK on the day.
Jumped off the bike and did a solid 30min out and back run in the sparkling new DS Trainers (15 series). Felt good and keeping an eye on maintaining good technique. Looking forward to race day...!
Drove back to Harrington after. Hung out at the beach in the arvo. Headed down to Forster that night for dinner out. Stayed at a beautiful house overlooking the Pacific Ocean - you could just sit and stare out to sea for hours.
