And 2 weeks until my official training plan commences. I am really looking forward to getting into it, and am almost dreading what some of the weeks look like. There are going to be a LOT of long days to be had over the next couple of months. I have a lot planned to get ready for this race, and hopefully, it'll lead me in the right direction. Right now, I think that a realistic time for me to aim for is around 1:45. Hopefully, over the next 8 weeks, I can aim for a lot lower than that, in the 1:25-1:30 range. I'll keep updating that as time goes by, so keep checking back for a good idea of how good I'm feeling about my race time.
This weekend was a great weekend, training wise. I managed to get out for 2 runs (8 and 10k run/walks) on Friday and Saturday nights, and a nice, long, 36km bike ride on Sunday morning. Turns out I don't know how to find the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, which is a race track in Montreal where cyclists can go to train, while avoiding the congestion on the bike paths. This weekend, I'll make another attempt to find it. Fingers crossed!
My thoughts and prayers go out to the unfortunate cyclists who fell victim to an accident on a provincial highway here in Quebec. Please, please please ride safe. It is not always enough to follow the rules of the road, when others may not be following them. Always ride defensively!
