Looks like SetupEvents is expanding its race reportoire...They've announce a new series to be held in State Parks. I'm excited b/c it offers more variety to the current setup, and the "50" distance races look sweet!

Lake James "50" - May 14, 2016

I saw that. Looks like fun. A lot of driving for some of them though.

Having grown up around Hanging Rock, that is going to be a cold but absolutely pristine swim and the bike down and back up the mountain will be loads of fun.

2 weeks after Boston, but I am going to have to work it in.

I just drove the course (bike) today, in my vehicle.

Not for me (this race). I'm more afraid of the descents than I am the climbs. I hope everyone gets through this race, safely. I'd love to do the swim and run, but that bike course is out of my league.

In addition to writing your race number on each upper arm, they also wrote your age on your calf. This allowed me to see who was passing me by in the bike section of this race.

The boat was being tossed around. Someone noted that there were whitecaps on the waves. Another guy said, “This is going to be challenging.” I began to wonder what he meant by 'challenging'.

Having three seasons under my belt I thought I knew what I was doing. That all changed with a few new challenges and a bunch of new friends.
 
Caffeine as an Endurance Supplement

The consensus is that caffeine does enhance performance and decreases perceived exertion in endurance exercise. There are no significant performance benefits in short, high-intensity exercise.

It’s a challenge to push yourself a little harder and a little further. Be proud of every workout that is accomplished and every step-even the baby ones-that you take on this course to the finishline.

Try to view your injury as another athletic challenge and an opportunity for personal learning and growth. Identify the skills that help you succeed as an athlete.

The Boulder Peak bike course is legendary. It is, literally and named as such, one of the toughest bike legs in the country.
