Day Eight




- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad


Today was terribly windy all day. The trees were bent over and it never let up. Everyone was so nice in there comments yesterday after my hard time on the bike. Today I decided to represent everyone and wear the Canada bike shirt. I kept my head down and tried not to think too much. I even took time today to have a shower, shave and put in my contacts after the swim. I felt like a person again.
Finished the day with a painful walk of 42km's. Lots of blisters under my feet and in between toes. I try to bust the every morning before the swim.

Today I put orajel on my saddle sores to numb the pain. I also wore three pairs of bike shorts. It still hurt, but not as much.

Please God, let me survive two more days.
.
They weight the athletes everyday. They can't figure out why I weighted 61kilos when I got here, this morning I weighted in at 65.5

  1. Great picture Tony ... love the Canada bike shirt! Sounds like you have had some weather issues to deal with the past few days and now rain today. You will never want to stay in a tent again after this!! You absolutely amaze us with your willpower and determination! I continue to pray for your safety and success. GO TONY GO!

  2. Those are some pretty nasty feet you've got going there Tony! Nice to see a picture of you in your Canadian gear - and you're still smiling after 8 days! Wishing you strength and a numb butt to get through the next 2 days! :)

  4. Hi Tony

    We had a good turnout for the saturday run and most of us had breakfast at the Satellite. Janet and Mindy were there. Whole conversation was mostly about you. We are all amazed and even tho the sores are bad just finish this thing.
