The training has officially begun.....

January 30 was the official start date of the IM Canada training. It also happened to be my sister's 37th birthday (Happy Birthday sis). Prior to this week, I spent around 10 hours in training. The number would just keep growing. The weekend prior, Mary rode with us at Silk Sheets. I love that course. A lot of steady climbs. After the ride, we went to Panera Bread to talk about the training races. She also mentioned that we would ride 2 century rides and one race distance ride. It didn't surprise me because the Iron Team also did the same thing. I would rather spend a lot of time on time to make sure I'm ready for the race. This is what we tentatively decide.... drum roll please.
