A typical IM training day

5AM: Get up, eat large breakfast of 2 English muffins, banana and Sustagen.
6AM: Ride 160k. Eat museli bars, energy gels and sports drink till you are so sick of them.
12PM: Run 10k off the bike. Eat more gels and drink more sports drink.
1PM: Stretch and chat with mates, talk about how good it is to be done for the day and what we are doing tomorrow.
2PM: Get home. Eat eat eat. Favourite banana smoothie and risotto on toast.
3PM: Lie down and have a nap for 2 hours.

Geez!
But actually, it was fun. :) We rode to Kurnell then Sublime Point again and back via Waterfall and Sutherland and we averaged over 30kph. We ONLY had 2 flats so got back to the Park at a decent time. I felt good on the run, much better than I expected again. We were doing just under 5.30 pace.
Now, dinner...;)

Wow. What a HUGE day. I feel tired just reading it.

Thanks for the tips on places to ride in Canberra - I think the city was designed by a cyclist. What a fantastic place to ride!

Awesome training Zoe - you're going to smash the course on April 1st with those sorts of volumes and pacing!

You coming up for a recce before the race?
