8:00 – 10:30:   Bike 2:20

It looked like it was going to rain, so I did my afternoon workout first (bike).  I had a good ride, and my knee didnt hurt.
I rode a bit longer than the 2 hours because I went to a farm to buy fresh blue berries on the ride back.  Also, the ride back up the hill to my apartment is incredibly steep … I barely made it back to the apartment without having to stop.  (I will take a photo or video of the super steep hill and post it soon)  When I arrived to the apartment – I was dripping with sweat and dead out of breath.  Good workout.

11:00 – 16:00:  Worked.  Had a long, but productive management meeting with Fabien who is in KL, Nic and Sophie in Dubai … although we were in three different countries, the voip conference facility quality was perfect.  amazing.

17:00 – 18:30:   Swam 3,000 meter.  The weather was very poor, so I was the only person in the entire pool.  I had a good workout and a strong feel for the water.  I feel strong in the water, and enjoy my swim workouts again.

19:30 – 20:30:   Core.  One of Mario’s athlete’s, one of the top triathletes under 18 in europe, Peter Leo is my core coach three times a week.  He is 17 years old, but has the ultimate core (movie stars dream to have a body like this kid).  Remarkable.

Anyways … it was f…ing hell, but a great workout of non stop, various core exercises.  By the end of November, before my challenge — my goal is to have a core like this kid.  Its funny – although he is only 17, he acts like he is 40 when we are working out together.  He is very tough and isnt the sweet kid he is outside of our workout.  very impressed.

Its 9:15 pm … just got back from the gym, dead tired and ready to go to sleep.
