Good times in California

Travel from Kona back to San Diego went well although it was quite a long trip! Surprisingly I haven’t been much trashed at all after the race probably due to the good foods and fluids consumed post race :D

Getting back meant also that it was time to change living place to the very awesome James and Beth in Carlsbad. It’s pretty rad as James has been my “real-life-athlete-hero” for quite some time. He seems to be able to fit it all in with some pretty amazing success. And he’s an amazing cook!

Awesome grilled salmon, sweet potatos, salad

Training this week has been just very enjoyable. Coach gave me a free week after the race so I’ve just been doing whatever I want with good people. Somehow free hands always turns out to more training but it’s good when it’s balanced with good recovery drinks J I just hope this will help me get my lost running back. But I’m riding pretty strong now, even at 5.45AM!

...probably because I had to ride/run up this hill on every training session at my last homestays

Lets hope I don’t get chicked tomorrow :D
