Today in nice sunny weather it was time to get back on training track after 10 days of family holiday with the camper. Lot's of PK at his best with hikes with kiddies in Pudasjarvi, Karku Kierros and the amazingly beautiful Riisitunturi. So lot's of walking, few tunturijuoksut and three late night bike rides between rendeer...oh I love Lapland! Few days ago we came back south and my training fellow Jame mentoined he would go to Vierumaki tri. Jari (thanks again mate) got me on the list yesterday night 20h before start time so little preparation and ready to rock :)! Well start was not promising at all as my wetsuit was not willing to do "yhteistyo" and cracked over an area of 15cm on hips....oeps...duck tape anybody...? I ran back to car and the great Head stand people taped me up as good as possible 9 min before race start. After that Cooper max run to get back to start line...7min to goooo! I made it to the start in time 3 min before with as result a kind of swim and trousers full of water :). Luckily my black horse Spessu-bike was waiting for me and eager to rock it all with as result 5th best bike split and 30k of riding in front in second group. Thanks to Markus to take over every now and than. Nice steady run after that and crossed finnish in 10th place overall in 2:15. Overall really happy but swimming sucked today.
Luckily the Head folks were helpful and gave great deal on my new wetsuit which I was able to test in the nice cold lake (15C brrrrr)! After Saaksi this was first hard training and now route to Ironman WC 70.3 Canada goes over Joroinen, Kuopio and HyPy perhetri. Really excited about the following 10 weeks! Jiiihooeeee triathlon is simply great! Especially if all family is very supportive and kids just love to come along daddies races. Kiitos rakaat ooot ihania! This time they stayed home but where 3h in garden biking and running in there own little tri. Kasper 7y would like to join the kids race in Joroinen and the girls are also excited for him and greatest cheerleaders. Looking forward to it already!
