| A Gold Medal lineup! |
6:00am - Alarm goes off and its time to wake up! Depending
on how crazy my workouts were on Thursday this could be a long process.
Sometimes it feels like my eyelids are glued shut.
6:15am - I’m up (finally) and having my favourite coffee…my
awesome roommate Alex Coates has an espresso machine so coffee is always
something I look forward to…not to mention the taste of Barista coffee! (http://cafebarista.ca)
I also usually try to get down a banana with peanut butter,
honey, and salt (try it!)
6:35am - Alexander and I head off to the pool at the
University of Guelph.
6:45am - We arrive at the pool and get on deck to do a few
shoulder and core activation exercises and then its time to get in! The pool is
usually cold so this can also be a process but I try not to think about it too
much.
7:00am - Swimming….Friday’s are usually long endurance swims
and today our swim featured some 1000’s, 2x500’s and 10x50’s…Coach CT is trying
to tire us out…

| Hot Tub closed - almost not even worth coming to the pool! |
9:00am - Swim done, jump out of the pool and do a few core
exercises and some external shoulder rotation and I start sipping on my Infinit
Aminos blend.
9:30am - Home for breakfast. Alexander and I have been
making pancakes in the morning and the recipe includes bananas, Infinit
Chocolate Raw, eggs, cocoa, honey, chia, oatmeal, and milk. I fry them up with
coconut oil and top them with peanut butter and greek yogurt. We usually have
breakfast and watch an episode (or two) of The Office.
12:15am - Leave for the gym at the University of Guelph.

| Time to do some work in the office. |
12:30am - We have an hour of weights with mobility. In the
fall and winter we lift heavy under the watchful eye of our strength coach
Jordan Foley.
1:30am - Head back from the gym and grab some more food!
Today lunch was eggs, rice, and spinach salad with cheese and avocado and lots
of sriracha. After lunch I take a few minutes to answer some emails and lie
down before the evening session.
4:00pm - Roll out for a ride with the TCPC crew. The spring
weather decided to cooperate so today was an outdoor ride with 3x10’ of
threshold. I used Infinit JetFuel to keep my energy up and its so easy on my
stomach that I can use it when I’m going really hard.
6:00pm - Off the bike and straight into a little run to get
the legs used to the feeling of running off the bike.
6:30pm - Shower and start preparing dinner. We had a
“smorgasbord” this evening, which is our go to…sausage, rice, sweet potato,
avocado, spinach, lots of cheese, and any veggies we want!
7:30pm - Dinner is ready and we settle in to a few episodes
of The Office, then its time to do dishes and pack away the leftovers.
9:30pm - In bed and reading…ready for some serious zzz’s and
to do it all over again tomorrow.
