Good stuff bad stuff.

My initial 21h of traveling where expected to almost 30h. In the way, they lost my bike box, somewhere from Madrid to São Paulo and still don’t have it with me, i normally freak out a bit when things don’t go as planed but this time I’m hanging OK, don’t know how i will feel if i don’t have bike today. From São Paulo to florianapolis was another never ending story, had to change airport  and then wait for the weather to calm down so that the plane could leave.

So yesterday i arrived pretty late to Florianopolis Airport and had to skip swim and bike(no bike of course) so i went for a 50 min run and felt OK actually. I have to thank the canucks that where in my home for the advice of using compression socks, It worked PRETTY darn well and my feet didn’t swell as they usually do, when i have overseas flights. I got into a pace that i would guess was a race pace, with Km markers i was running at 3:55, i thought to my self that i just needed to hold another 2h in that pace and i would have a great race, my race pace “feeling” is fine tuned.

Then i went for dinner with Cathy and Monica, was nice to see Cathy Again and nice to meet Monica.

Today I went for a 50 min swim, i can dress my nineteen wetsuit at the room and walk to the beach, how cool is that!!! I felt good in a 20 min Zn3 effort. Then a magnificent breakfast and a log into the Internet for updates.

For now i wait patiently for my bike and will go out for a run before lunch.

A special Thanks to Latin Sports that is “taking care” of me since i arrived to the airport. This is a Beautiful place just amazing and people are very friendly and chicks are hot :)
