Swim:  90 minutes

Bike:  2 hours

I fly to dubai tonight, and was relaxing in my apartment in Austria when the phone rang — it was Mario asking me if I had swum yet … and that we were  going for a recovery bike ride for “a couple of hours…”

I had the day off yesterday – and to be honest didnt think about training today — so mario’s call woke me up from a nice relaxing dream.

We had a great ride – averaged 32km/h for the 2 hours.

My legs were very sore before the ride, but after the ride they feel much better.  I am glad Mario called me and made me train today.

The “amazing” Peter Leo rode with us … Peter is a 17 year old ranked 2nd in Austria … future olympian.  One of the most focused people I have ever met — and he is only 17.

Having the kid ride with us is probably why I rode much faster — I didnt want the little guy to kick my ass.
After the ride, i had a nice easy swim in the cold pool.

I fly back to Dubai tonight, have a training day off tomorrow – and from Monday have a recovery week, but I noticed the length of the workouts are still long, just less intense.
