New addition to my stable

Few days ago I Found a big box on my porch. I was waiting for it for few days after I made purchase at Competitive Cyclist website. They had a great deal on BMC team machine bike that just seemed to be too good to pass up. More so since I was in market for new road bile which is one kind I miss in my stable.
The bike arrived on Wednesday and was packed very well. It took me about 30 minutes to unwrap it and put it together.
I have yet to get fitted on it (that is today's plan) and take it out for a ride. But I'm already liking the machine.
I also want to give props to Competitive Cyclist guys that provided a great service. They were extremely helpful in advising the right frame size for my needs based on my self measurement and existing bike fit and they let me use free shipping coupon for purchase although I applied it after the physical purchase. Overall great experience.

Long run - fail

Today's long run left me with two ankles on my left leg. It started already last week after the Quakertown 10 miler. The ankle got better during the week, but today's long run brought the second ankle back. The picture is taken after 20 minutes of icing. Let's hope compression and more icing will do the work.

Motivation for down day

I have been sick as a dog today. My training log has a big zero for yesterday and most likely same figure for today. I found this video that Matty Reed posted on his twitter feed very motivating - it is great to see the best athletes in the sport hammer it out in Olympic distance race.

Rasmus Henning: Great athlete

In all the noise in Kona about Crowie beating Lieto by only few minutes there was one competitor that we did not hear much about although it was his first Kona and he did it while injured. Pretty amazing what Rasmus showed on the big island. I was already amazed with his performance when I saw NBC special about Ironman China where he won despite it being his first iron distance race and despite the grueling conditions. It looks like more ITU guys are making the transition to Ironman racing. We will see if that translates into faster times in Kona and other Ironman races. I definitely recommend watching the embedded video from Ironman that was recorded before Kona race last year.
