Training this week...

After the race Sunday, we had a nice recovery day on Monday. Then right back in to hard training Tuesday with a swim in the morning and a practice at Bird’s Hill with a mini tri. Wednesday we started with a swim and then some of us took an opportunity to improve our 5km run times. Good job to Stevie and Josh for having some pretty big PB’s and thanks to Riley and Mark for a wonderful job pacing. Thursday was a swim in the morning and back at Bird’s Hill where we did a mini tri, and then a cycle workout with the MCA team. Practiced echeloning and learned some great tips on the bike. Friday was a day off the bike with a swim in the morning and a speed run workout in the afternoon. Saturday we were at Bird’s Hill once again and we were joined by the Manitoba youth team for a mini tri and a mini duathlon. It was a great practice with solid efforts all around. Overall it was a great week with some hard training as well as some race specific work. Everyone is feeling ready and is looking forward to the second junior elite race in Montreal next Saturday.

Here is a link to the pictures from the race at Bird’s Hill last weekend.
