  • Comments: Very muddy conditions. Well run race. Volunteers were somewhat subdued due to the conditions they were working in. Basically huddling up to stay warm and dry as possible; don't blame them especially the ones out on the bike route. The volunteers on the run were wonderful and cheering.

  • Comments: Running continues to be my biggest hurdle, but I have put it in perspective... No running ever to 5k's in sprints last year 12:40 / 12:55 / 12:58 to 1st 5k of 10k this year ~11:51 and then I ran another 5k and my final pace was 12:23, so that's doubling the distance and decreasing pace by >30 seconds/mile in a year. I still need to lose 15-25 more pounds so who knows what I can achieve over the course of this year! I do think that switching to running as much as possible and every other day has helped quite a bit recently - hopefully i'll be ready for a solid run come HIM time. I like Oly distance way better than sprint - can't wait to race again! Oh yah - 1st in my division - do I get hardware if i'm the only one?! ;) I didn't stick around to find out.
