    Monday- 60k. I told my friend I wanted a slow ride, but I don't think she can help helrself. We started 30 minutes later than the other group, but caught them the last 10k. Still a good ride. Went on some rural dirt trails.

    Tuesday- Swim 1.6k, (I think). Some stragne drills, so it was hard to keep track of distance. We also did a drill where we swam with our eyes closed. It was strange. Tricky with no lane lines in a 50m pool but we all did amazingly well. Ok, I did peek once.

    Wednesday- oh dear, I can't even remember what I did this day. My memory is going!!!

    Thursday- swim 1k, bike 10k slow

    Friday- Morning walk.  

    Saturday- First 100k bike ride - Angkor Wat, Cambodia. Yeah, I did it!!!. The scenery was amazing, and the sunrise next to the ancient giant temple was gorgeous. I learned a new trick, how to ride by someone and grab an open water bottle from their hand keep on going. I wasn't sore afterwards, but my knees were hurting the last 25k. Had to stop and stretch  a few times the last 20k because of the knee pain. I think the bike I rented wasn't a good fit for me. Next time, I will take my own bike.   Had fun hanging out with my buddies over the weekend. Some people had  road bikes in the same 100k race, they were going so much faster than the mountain bikes, it was unreal.  I could keep up with some of them going up the hill, but they blew me away going down hill.

    I accomplished the running and bike distance that I wanted to this year.  I've just been running, biking and swimming for fun the last few weeks. Beacuse of my hip, I have decided to hold off on speedwork for  awhile. I  am trying to figure out what goals I want to set for next year. Doing my PT more regularly to help my hip needs to be on the top of my list.
