That's right...I'm holding on by a string as far as training is concerned. I took it light this week..very light to try to recover the beating that I feel like my body has been taking since our Clearlake training weekend. Race phase is known as sexy phase of training..well I'm wearing a heart rate monitor to sleep these days to track my morning resting heart rate- how sexy is that? Argh!
The team went up to the site of Vineman on Saturday to swim the Russian river and bike the course. The water was warm...at 80 degrees it was like bath water! I went in with my Blue Seventy Swimskin-

Sunday, the team visited the resting place of the spirit behind Ironteam- Louie Bonpua.
The team gathered at an elementary school in Los Altos to make the short journey up to Louie's resting place. Teammates shared stories of inspiration about Louie, loved ones affected by cancer and just hardships that they've faced. We hardly have moments like these and so I was extremely grateful as it came in a timely matter. I needed that inspirational lift and that reminder that I wanted to do this not only to support and honor my loved ones and friends who have been affected by cancer but also to make a positive difference for the future. Speaking of which- opportune time for a fundraising plug. Please support me and help make the future a better place by visiting my fundraising website- Donate here! Or at least check out the updated slideshow complete with soundtrack!
I received my mental lift..now all I need if my physical lift to come through...come on mojo..come back!
Hez and I..one for old times! Hez will be racing Ironman Lake Placid next Sunday! Today was also her send off. Best of luck!
