A Tapering waverunner

G'day everyone ,

Well I reckon this has got to be the best place to taper. The weather
has warmed to mid to high 20's during the day, the ocean is about
23degrees and only slight winds.
Whatever training is to be done is usually dealt with early then its a
stretch and breakfast and down to the resort pool and spa for recovery.
The spas nice and warm and helps get the blood through those quads. I
have been having 3-4 spas a day!
The yankee tv is pretty cool too with heaps of movies and even a few
ironmans playing like cour-de-alene and canada. Our room overlooks the
ocean , we are about 15metres from the sand and each night we get magic
sunsets -its brilliant.
Theres little to do around except take it easy - I have been having a
daytime sleep each day (something I have never done before) and its all
working a treat as I feel a million dollars!

Yesterday was a brilliant day, about 27d and sunny and glassy. Chappo
and I hired a couple of waverunners and tore up "the gulf" beaches, it
was sick , we went nuts doing donuts and jumping over waves , the things
hammer pretty quick , at one point I hit the swell at full throttle and
jumped about 5ft into the air! Ha! , we were cracking up , we had a
ball.

We have had a front hit us today with humid overcast conditions and
wind has picked up to produce a pretty rough sea. I did one lap of the
swim course and I must admit I did find it a little tough as visibility
was non existent with the chop and swell was difficult to swim through -
even for an ocean kid like me. I think the times may be alittle slow in
the water as a result but will favour the strong swimmers so I should
be ok out of the water. It was freaky because I was the only swimmer out
there and it goes into some pretty deep water and almost 1km off shore!
I was starting to think about sharks - but - phew, got that out of my
head before I freaked completely!

Ironman village opens tomorrow - I heard cervelo are having a stand
there and you can test ride the p3carbon! Yeah boy!

Hope you are all having fun back in Aus - wish you all were here - I
think its going to be a great race!

cheers-
