Tour Du British Columbia
1200 km Cycling Trip From Vancouver to Calgary
July 20, 2003 to July 31, 2003
1200 kilometers of cycling, 100 kilometers of running, 6 passes, 12 days in 95 degree heat. Whew! A FANTASTIC trip!
On July 20, Helen and I dropped the kids off at summer camp and headed to the airport. Ironman Canada was only a month away and we thought a mid-summer bike tour with plenty of heat and climbing would be great training for me – especially after bombing so badly in the heat of Ironman Idaho in June. The training was equally beneficial for Helen also, as she is signed up for both Ironman Idaho 2004 and Ironman Canada 2004
