It’s a little challenging to try and fit in workouts while on vacation, but I was able to get some training in.  I spent the weekend in Sydney with my twin sister Laurel, and didn’t manage any training there, but from Sunday through Thursday I was in beautiful Mooloolaba in Queensland which was a perfect place to get some workouts in.

Mooloolaba is a gorgeous beach town, so I got a couple of hour long runs in.  This isn’t a bad view for a run.

I checked out the Olympic pool in Maroochydore on my run – and was able to get an hour swimming there another day.  It’s a gorgeous aquatic complex right on the beach.

And of course, being on the beach I did have a quick swim in the ocean, but didn’t stay in too long (the water was pretty chilly!).

Finally for some cycling training I just popped into a local gym and spent some time on the stationary cycle.

I got back yesterday (Friday), and tomorrow we have a ‘dummy run’ of the Mighty Mermaid course in Capitola.  Hoping the jetlag doesn’t kick in – will be good to get a preview of the course.
