One day into this 18 day journey to my podium attempt at the Xterra Conquer the crater race, in a bold departure from triathlon training culture of training only in the sports of swim, bike, or run, we introduce the notion of a 'Farmers Brick', where any of those three sports can be combined with hay-bailing and/or hay-tossing (peculiarities of local vernacular makes this distinction important).
After getting hay all day, on what I believe is still possibly Wednesday July 28, my recollection of training is a bit scattered. As it stands:
Sunday July 25 - 1km, possibly more, casual open water swim at Fairbank lake
Monday July 26 - Picking wet hay off the field, possibly a run, records are sketchy
Tuesday July 27 - Open water swim at Moonlight beach in Sudbury despite rain warnings, beach was deserted. Possibly a run, records are sketchy.
Wednesday July 28 (date of post) - no run, no swim, only hay. Lots of hay. Counts as cross training.
Will we learn of your diet during this training regime? We need to know how you are FEEDING THE WARRIOR!
