I am looking forward to taking some time off training during December but I would still like to carry on running during December as it is one of the "coolest" months of the year in the Cayman Islands.
After a disappointing 10 mile bike time trial on Sunday I am feeling more positive about my level of running fitness after a great 5x5min interval run session at Zone 4 pace this evening.
Easy recovery day tomorrow and looking to support my wife Jana during her 13km run in preparation for the Cayman Islands half marathon on the 4th of December 2011 http://www.caymanislandsmarathon.com/. Nope, I am not planning on doing a 13km run tomorrow as a recovery session. I am planning on a very easy 1h bike ride on my racing bike and will pass Jana at stages to drop off drinks for her during her run. She is pretty excited for her long run in the morning as she just got her brand new Asics Kayano's this week which Addie picked up for her in Miami (Thanks Addie).
If all goes well, I will be in Rose Hall, Jamaica in 3 weeks time with my wife and our friends Marius and Lara in order to compete in the Jamaica olympic distance triathlon. The race has been marketed pretty well in the US edition of Triathlete magazine. I know that two years ago Greg Bennett actually won the race so it seems like a couple of pro's come down from the States every year to compete. Certain sections of the race will take place on the property of the Iberostar hotel where we will be staying for the long weekend.
I am also looking forward to following the Xterra World Championships on Sunday. I will definitely be rooting for the South African Caveman Conrad Stoltz to take the win. Lance Armstrong will also be taking part and after his 5th place finish at the US Championships he will definitely be in contention for a top 10 finish.
I am glad that I took my phone along on my run this evening as I managed to snap this picture at sunset time.
