Yeah, I'm thinking I may do it in 2014 as an A race (and hopefully as part of a team).  There would be plenty of time to recover and do Cedar Point that September (half or full).  It looks brutal but fun.

Oh really??? 

Positive vibes headed your way Michele.

Little mid day brick today.  1:40 of intervals followed by a 30 minute T run.   Let my pace/hr get away from me a little at first on the run but it feels so damn good outside I wanted to push it for a mile or so. 

I had a super deep massage last night i thought I was going to vomit, today I feel great lets see what tonights run brings.

Kona winners -

Macca - 8:05:13

Steffen - 8:59:13

What are your Picks?

Crowie, then Macca

Hopefully Rinny

Low cadence interval workout this morning.  One of my favorites. 

As far as Kona I'd love to see Rapp win it, but if I had to put money on someone it would be Crowie.  Female wise IDK.  Probably Rinny.  Her run is too good.

Oh yeh, got to do a tempo run this morning ... first in months.  First 5 minutes was crap and stiff (still getting used to am workouts), but really loved building the speed throughout!!!  Certainly broke up the boredum of being on a treadmill.

I am unfortunately stuck on a treadmill alot because it is dark in the am and dark when I get home and I am just not comforatable running in the dark.  argh

thoughts and prayers to you ?Michele!

So I have switched to a new position that is throwing a wrench into my training schedule. I now have to get up at 5 not to run but to get out of the house to ride the train into DC for work. Luckily my wife has been supportive and is going to let me run in the evenings. It's a bummer because that is usually wind down time with the family. They are shorter runs during the week so it isn't so bad. All my long stuff falls on the weekend luckily. However, my concern is when I start back tri training by adding more bike and swims in. The train times are limited out where I live. Should I split workouts if I need to, basically doing two-a-days? ???Any Advice?

Kona...I don't know enough about each participant...if Lance was there...

PS will Kona be televised and if so what channel?

4 a.m.?  Lunch break?  I got up at 4 last year on swim days.....just make sure you're in bed by 9 (otherwise you'll want to hit that snooze button ).  It's nice that your wife said yes to evening runs, but I understand why you're torn.  Evenings are busy around here, and if I recall, your children are older than mine, so you may have even more going on than I do at the moment.  That's tough, Larkin.  

Just a thought because my cousin has done this before...Salvation Army or other consignment shop might have something for really cheap.

I love Jordan Rapp.

I split a lot of my days.  I prefer to get everything done in the morning but with late sunrises, in the fall and winter I tend to run in the morning and bike at night.

Maybe I will, and then I'll pass along some of my free stuff to you because you help me so much.  It asks for a resume or CV.  LOL  I'd have to dig those things out of the dustbin.
