I'm with you on that.  I have 4:40, I'm contemplating riding the Quassy Half and then Olypmic courses.  Could be interesting.

I did that exact double loop last Saturday, then ran the Griskus run.  I'll be there about 8:30 on Sunday morning, hope the weather works out.

It's so easy to get lost on the Rev3 route - I was using mapmyride with my iPhone, but out there, the phone works so hard to keep 3G service, the battery dies in no time, plus it gets super hot.  At about mile 47, it was dead, luckily, I tagged along with other riders till I hit RT61 and I remembered how to get back from there because I had done Griskus a few times.

I really need to do the Rev3 run course - that has me a bit concerned - I may drive it to see how hilly it is.

A good portion of it is on a bike path / dirt road so its diffcult to drive.  Its one of the hilliest run courses I've ever seen. 

Morning everyone!

Looks likes it going to be a beautiful day here.

What on tap for everyone today?

Who is racing this weekend?

Just got back from the pool 1500m.  Chiropractic appt this afternoon, and then a run when I get home.  

Good luck, Michele!

Good luck on Sunday!

Good luck, Michele!

I swam 2900m at Masters this morning.  Tomorrow is off to help my kids fete their mother (breakfast in bed!), and then I'm going up to Columbia, MD Sunday to ride the bike course and run some of the run course in advance of the Columbia Olympic next Sunday...

Easy, easy spin of the legs this morning.  I have 2:30 on the bike this weekend and a :25 minute easy trun.  Picking up my friend's race wheels tomorrow and dropping the bike off to get tuned up on Sunday. 

I feel like I could sleep for about 4 days straight right now.  LOL.

Yes indeed!  Whole point of the pre-race spin is just to loosen up your legs.  Gym bike is fine for that.

The Columbia bike is a beast.  Its a great race but a tough bike course.

Question of the day ---  What are your bucket list races?  

If the Iron distance works out for me, then I really want to do IMCdA.  I've wanted to do that one since I started training for triathlon.  Tricky issue is that the really heavy training is during soccer season, and it looks like all my kids want to stick with soccer.  If I were to do an international race, it would be South Africa.  Any other full IMs would be Cedar Point or Beach 2 Battleship.   

Alcatraz is at the very top of my list.  I want to put my name in for the lottery (opens in September).  

If I ever do a full marathon, I want it to be in Chicago.  I'm a midwestern girl at heart, and I love Chicago.  I grew up visiting the city.  Having said that, I'm not sure I'll ever do one.  We'll see.
