According to the result I averaged 32.9kph and not 34.6kph that I had said, ( I can't believe my computer is that far off.) and finished with a time of 36.31 min. Still not a bad result. :)


No training for me last night, I got working on the bedroom and finished priming the walls and ceiling. All that's left is for Chris and MJ to get there paint and then paint the room before moving it.

More reno's going on

While I'm working on the basement bedroom, my daughter Melissa decided to repaint her room, so she went out and bought the paint and started working on her room,with the help of Joanne. Victoria is just watching.

This is where Melissa is sleeping while she works on her room.
Melissa's room, outside her room.

Drywall sanding all done

I finally finished my sanding. The room is ready for it's first coat of primer! Yay! Once I apply the primer Chris and MJ can go to town and paint there room, as they wanted to pick the colours and buy the paint.

Tomorrow I'll pick up the entry door and install it and put some drywall up on the outside walls of the room to finish the exterior on the staircase side.


Here I am covered in drywall dust. Blah!..on the side you can see the bi-fold closet doors I'll be putting up once the room is all painted.

This job is making me old and gray. lol

After I finished sanding I showered and went out to meet my tri group for the Tuesday Time Trials. Yes I made it out this week. The route is a back country road fairly flat. It's approximately a little over 5km stretch of road that we ride end to end. We do an out and back twice from Horseshoe Valley Rd to Henderie Rd. for a measured 21.km stretch. I managed to average 34.6kph according to my bike computer. we will see when the official results get posted on the tri blog. :)

Here is a link to the route

Where has the Summer heat gone?

I didn't go for my swim at the lake yesterday, for that matter I didn't even bike or run, it was to cold and windy. Where is summer?? My knee's have been aching from all this stupid cold weather, it seems more like Oct, then July! I need hot! The hotter the better!! Maybe I'll try again today to bike and run when I get home from work. The daytime high is suppose to be 24C today, still not hot enough for me to jump into the freezing lake for my swim though, hopefully by the end of this week we will be getting some heat so I can brave the cold waters of Kempenfelt bay.

Hey I just thought! today is TT Tuesday. Maybe I'll join the Tri club tonight for my bike ride. WOO HOO! ...IT"S TT TUESDAY!!!

IT BETTER NOT BE COLD!!

Not much happened over the weekend. Besides watching the Tour DE France, I did a little plastering in the basement, well actually I had to re plaster the whole room as my son thought he would help out and sanded all the tape work. Little did he know he only had to lightly sand all the taping, but decided to sand everything down smooth. When I say smooth I mean smooth, right down to the fiberglass tape! so all the tape work was showing!!!.......Not good. SO I spent all Saturday re plastering all the corners, edges, and tape work, and I'll be sanding it this time.

Sunday I checked out the plaster job and did some touch up work in the corners that were showing cracks. I went for a 30km TT bike ride, had a tough time with strong winds but managed to average 31kph.

This week I'm working the early shift which means I'll be home before 4pm. So my plan is when I get home I'll do my 30km ride, and ride down to the beach and swim the Barrie swim course down at the beach and ride back home. I hope the weather warms up as the lake I hear is a freezing 64F Brrrrrrrr..........This week I'm also going to try some running, my heel is starting to feel better after the acupuncture i had done to my calf, so I'll try a short run after I get back from my swim.
