First of all I want to say thanks for all my friends for the positive energy and vibrations that you have been sending for me for tomorrows race. I promise, I will do a great race…
Getting ready for the race
I will tell you what it is………
The "wild eastcoast"
There is a lots of talk in among the people down here about the wild east coast, meaning the wind pushing from the east, the crosswinds, the sand flying, the humidity etc.
Frank is having a hard time keeping me quiet at the moment.
One big reason is the pool facilitys here.
I walk across the street. Temp. is about 22 already in the morning.
I go in the water, the temp here is warmer, about 25-26
The first colorful fishes come to say good morning
Then the shark attack………Frank is here.
2 rounds of warm-up, then 8×100 full draft-tempo, with 50m easy between, and all the time
on feet-draft. Dont drift in the current, dont get the head up to much, dont……. well…….shark attack
But it works, I am sharp, ready to swim from any sharks…!
leaving the "nature-pool"
We arrived to Cozumel yesterday, after traveling almost 20 hours, but now we are here and the race will be first on Sunday
Check under everyday food, and find some new ideas
Enjoy!
From today I have exactly 21 days for the race in Mexico. The weather here in Northern Europe is getting fu… cold and dark and the question is should I train outside or inside?
