Quote of the Week:
“Rest. It’s part of the plan. Muscles are torn in training, fed in the kitchen, and built in bed.”
I’m mentally and physically ready for this last big push to Ironman Mont Tremblant! Only 5 more weeks?! CRAZY!!

Awesome recovery week!! Nice physical and mental break!! Looks like lots of fun too!! Can’t wait to hear about the race!! I’m on recovery week now…so happy!! 🙂
What a fun week you had! I really like my swim buoy too-I’ve never “needed” it, but I’m sure glad I have it when I’m swimming on my own. Congrats on the race and I’m looking forward to reading the recap!
Thanks Amy! It was a fun week! I didn’t feel I needed the swim buoy other than for boats to see us as Lake Okoboji is a busy lake! I’ll have the recap up in the next few days. 😉
