Nice race!  Sub 2:30 will come soon enough.

Next week is my last A race of the season - the Bourbon Chase.  200 miles of running total (split between 12 people), and I get 20 of them. 

Nice Race.  22 is smoking on the bike.

Good job!!

Race report is here:

Even though the swim was cancelled I'm pretty happy with the way things turned out. 

Congrats on your race, Jason!  Nice work. 

And Drew, that's a killer bike split.  Way to go.

Thanks guys.  I'll get a report up shortly. 

I've decided that triathlons suck.  I was looking forward to some down time but now all I can think about is how to cut 3:21 off my time for next year! I decided to take a week completely off to relax before doing anything but all I want to do is go for a run.  Is it too early to get excited about next season?

I understand.  I'm already thinking about my next HIM.  I'm actually considering the New Orleans 70.3 in April.  Title, any recs on this?

I'm actively planning next season already, so I can get an off season plan in place for improvement.

You could always to San Juan, it's in mind March.  I agree with Todd about the difficulty with early season races.  Last year I ran a marathon in March and found it difficult to get all the training in over the winter.  I might be better for you guys down south but still something to think about.

Nice job!  That sounds pretty tough but a lot of fun too.

In unrelated news, have you guys seen this video of the guy mountain biking in South Africa?

Yeah - that is AWESOME.  But mostly because I wasn't that poor schmuck.

I'm here and I'm still running. I got in the 18s and feel so so on it. I'm scared of the fact that I haven't busted through 20 on a training run, but I do know that I've run a good bit.

I'm healthy and I want it.

I guess that's a good thing. Now, to make it the last 3 weeks.

AWESOME SANDS. Makes me think that I definitely need to try a relay!

Never seen a 200mile relay race before! Looks like it was great fun. Nicely done

Lots of them popping up, but some appear to be too small to have a good atmosphere.  Bourbon had 200+ teams.  Lots of action everywhere.  Great post party.  Lots of (wait for it) Bourbon flowing!

Nice job!  I probably won't run anything until Thanksgiving but I'm hoping to break 21:00.  But given that my week off turned into two weeks I can only say I'm hoping and not trying! ;-)

I ran in a 5k this Saturday, too.  It was short, I clocked it at only 2.84 miles, others who have run it before said it was :30 - :40 short time wise.  Finished in 17:36, 2nd OA.  A little bummed it was short but a fun race nonetheless. 

Dang, y'all suck!!!  In a good way though.

Awesome 5k Times fellas!!!

I was doing good to post a 27:43 at the breast cancer run on Saturday.  I dream of 21:00, much less below 20:00.

So 18:xx?  Absolutely smokin', man.
