It's Almost GO Time: #Mingsanity Week 23

I can't believe that in less than 12 hours we're going to be on our way to the airport to begin our European adventure!  Normally I'd post this on Monday but given that we're going to be in transit for most of the day, I thought I might as well get it up today.  This was my last real week of training.  Ming has me doing a bunch of short stuff while we're in Luxembourg.  I'm hoping I'm able to do it.  We're not really close to the race site, it's in another town so we'd have to drive in there every day.  G isn't too crazy about that idea so we'll see what happens.  I'm sure we'll do it a couple of times just so we can get familiar with where everything is. 

Anyway....let's see how my last week of workouts panned out.

Monday:  2200m swim

Tuesday:  OFF

Wednesday:  15km run (wth??)

Thursday:  60 minute hard interval ride that was supposed to be followed by a run but my knees hurt way too much to run hard so I didn't bother.

Friday:  2150m swim at U of T - this was AMAZING. 

Saturday:  2000m open water swim, 40km bike with G and a 10km race pace run

Sunday:  1800m open water swim at Professor's Lake which was super nice.  Was supposed to do an 8km run but I wanted to rest my knees.

Beautiful place for a morning swim!

Totals:

Swim:  8170m
Bike:  68.49km
Run: 25.03km

Total time:  7h 6 minutes.  I was feeling pretty rough at the start of this week but I think I've turned the corner.   The taper tireds are moving out.  Now I'm going to replace them with jetlag, ha ha.

I probably won't be blogging regularly while we're away but I'll try to make a point of getting a race report up at least.  I will definitely be very active on instagram so if you don't follow me there already, what are you waiting for, ha ha? 

Thanks to everyone who's been reading along for the last 23 weeks!
