The Ironman 70.3 in Tremblant was a fantastic experience! Gorgeous course – though you really have to like hills – and really well organized. Ridiculously hot on the run though πŸ₯΅. Thankfully there was plenty of ice at the aid stations. I ran most of the course with my shorts full of ice πŸ˜€.

A huge thanks to my fantastic race crew! Their support and enthusiasm were great, not to mention all their help over the past several months of training. Knowing they’d be at the finish line really got me through the tough kilometres 14 to 17 on the run.

Yikes, quite the cliff at kilometre 52!

Season 3 of For All Mankind starts off strong! One of my favourite shows of the last few years and I’m looking forward to this season πŸ“Ί

My longest bike ride yet: 105 km. Tough, but fun. Good to have a strong crew pulling me along 🚴

Great Vance Joy show that featured a rainbow after a short rainstorm 🎢

Although a small thing in the context of the WWDC announcements, I like the upcoming changes to the Workout app in WatchOS πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈ

A big thank you to my race crew for their support at today’s triathlon.

I think this is everything!

Finished reading: I really enjoyed The Rook by Daniel O’Malley. A fun mix of espionage and supernatural with a good sense of humour πŸ“š
