Hello lovely readers 
Happy hump day!
Even though I had to be on campus all day and won’t get to head home until later tonight, I still managed to squeeze in two workouts
My morning started off bright and early with a bike ride! Luckily the weather was nice and sunny, so I headed out to my usual trail for a long-ish ride. As well as getting in some much-needed training before my triathlon, I was using this morning’s ride as a chance to start testing out some gels as part of Operation Don’t-Puke-All-Over-Myself-On-Tri-Day.
I chose the chocolate Clif Shot gel as my first one, because I love Clif bars and figured that beginning with a brand I know would be a good idea. I kept it in one of my back shirt pockets, and took it about 5km into the ride. The flavour was amazing – it tasted exactly like chocolate frosting! Unfortunately it was also the same consistency as icing, and was really hard to eat as I was biking because it kept sticking everywhere inside of my mouth.
I finished 15.56km in 37:40, which was slower than my ideal race pace but still a good ride
Today was really hot again, so I stopped at Tim Hortons on the way to school for an iced cappuccino made with chocolate milk. So good!
Actual breakfast was some of the new PC honey greek yogurt (which is pretty good, but still not as delicious as Liberte vanilla) with mango chunks, and Barbara’s oat squares on the side.
I love eating cereal dry, and these oat squares are great. They’re really good for munching on when studying.
After a morning of classes, my roommate and I headed to the pool for a swim. It’s a million degrees outside, so we were more than ready to jump in the pool by the time we got there. I swam 1500m while we were there, and was pretty glad to get out again once those 1500 metres were over. Two workouts in a day is tiring!
I practically inhaled my bagel when I got to class again.
And a salad for good measure 
The rest of my day is pretty busy, but at least class is over for now. Anyway, now that blogging is done for the day, I’m off to work on a lab report and go to an engineering society meeting. I hear they’re going to be providing tacos for dinner!
See ya later
