2002:
Got up at 6 AM today. I seem to be getting up
later and later everyday. There goes the plan
to stick with the early morning rise all week.
Damn! It was such a good plan. Since it was
nice outside I decided to go for a ride first
thing this morning just in case the rain would
come back. I hooked up with my buddy Sean and
we headed up the mountain to the upper highway
and rode up on there. The road is awesome – no
cars and no triathletes. There are a lot of
coffee plantations and the road is also fun to
ride with tons of tight corners. We rode for
about 2 hours and then did a short easy
20-minute transition run. We were both drenched
in sweat when we finished. Luckily the condo
complex that I am staying at had a pool; so, we
both jumped in there to cool off.
Did a phone interview with the Canadian Press
at noon and then had to rush to get to a Trek
appearance at B&L Bikes that started at noon as
well. Luckily, I managed to get there pretty
quick. I got my new helmet from Trek after the
autograph session. I really like the new helmet
– it fits awesome and the colours match the
Canada’s flag. Very cool! I went to register
after the B&L thing and it was empty. I guess
everybody registered first thing this morning;
so, no lines for me.
I
wanted to swim after registering; but, the pool
was packed. I am back at the condo and will
probably swim just before dinner. Trek is
having a Diner party at the Trek house but it is
a bit late for me. I will eat before heading
over there. I tend to eat really early compared
to most people. I like to eat at 5 or 5:30.
