First: Kicked bum on the IMC bike course this time. Bike time was 6:36 with some stopping for food and water bottle refills. Several things learned.
- Fig Nutons good
- Infinate Bad. This is the third long ride in a row I've been on and Infinate has caused and uproar in my tummy! Say goodbye to Infinate for race day. I'm back on the real food for my tummy circuit!
- Yellow lake and I will not ever be friends. I hated that stretch before and thought it was just because I had been left on the side of the road for dead, begging spare tubes off anyone I could trade favours with! Nope, turns out it's just plain painful. Plus, Infinate was having round three in my tummy at the time. If anyone wants my giant tub of infinate it's all yours. I'm still sick just thinking about that taste in my mouth
- Jenna and cowboy look as awesome in person as they do zipping past in the opposite direction!
Swim course (sorta, actually 3960ish)
- 1:24 rock star! It was serious chop out there but instead of freaking out I decided to roll with it! Like rock and roll, I pretended i was body surfing and took each wave. It was actually fun! Now I just have to do the same thing with 2000+ of my close personal friends thrashing around.
Today I'm giving my notice at work without the added benefit of knowing where the money to get myself through the next year will come from. I'm terrified but I guess it's like Yellow Lake. Hate it coming up but that just makes the downhills that much sweeter!

Good for you Kelsey!! WOW -- You are an inspiration to me! Courageous and positive -- I am so proud of you!!!!
I'm so happy you rocked out on the swim course, and with chop too!!
Too bad about the sports drink -- that's exactly how I feel about Perpetuem. Just the thought of the taste makes me shudder. Ecchhh. At least you figured it out before race day!!
For what it's worth here is what I drink: 2 scoops of Carbo Pro and 1 scoop of Gatordade per bottle. Carbo pro has virtually no flavour. Mind you, YOU know your body the best, so I say listen to it before anything else!! :) :)
Glad you had a great time!!
Why did you go and have to say Perp (gag!). Susi likes the Infinit. I'd like to try it and see, but I'm having a good experience with the home made energy drink, at least so far.
wow how did you manage the long swim? Do they have the course marked off already?
The guys at TCR sport lab set it up for us. I crashed their camp for a few days when I was in Penticton. They couldn't secure the exact loop so instead they set up a 1000m meter course and we did 4 loops.
We should aim for a big loop this Wednesday!
