Sorry that I've been MIA over the last several weeks. I've felt somewhat disconnected from triathlon as my swim and bike training has been next to nothing since my last tri in August. I've been focusing mostly on the run as I had a half marathon this past weekend.

I was right on my goal for the race - 1:22:58 (6:20 pace) and finished 3rd overall. Somewhat hilly course, especially from 5-8 miles. Mile 11 is also pretty tough.

What a beautiful fall weekend we had in NW PA.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend..I enjoyed watching the live feed yesterday as Crowie was very impressive then watched Wellington hang on to win.. Dam I wish I could just run that fast..(lol) So what are everyone's plans in the near future..

I have a 10k in two weeks then a half marathon a couple of weeks after that...Hope you all have a great week..

Not racing.  Ramp up after recovery continues. I have been doing computrainer workouts this week with some single pedal drills, high cadence drills, some tempo efforts.  Starting to feel like the winter routine.  This weekend it's in the 80s so I'll be outside for some VO2 drills on Sat and a longer tempo ride on Sunday.  I'll run in there sometime too.  I have a speaking gig on Saturday which will break up things a bit.  Next weekend is a ride with Robbie Ventura of Vision Quest a former Lance Armstrong teammate on Postal and a party to celebrate the year with the VQ downstate gang.  It's going to be fun.  Then surgery on the 19th and a careful ramping up again into the winter workouts. Still trying to pick a half IM to focus on for next year.  The Muncie one would be too damn hot for me I think.  Thinking more of Racine or a new Rev3 in Wisconsin Dells or Branson in September. 

acv - 2011-10-14 6:08 PM Actually I have my 10K that had been postponed because of the hurricane a month ago. We were supposed to be away this weekend so I didn't pay attention to it then our plans changed and now I can do it. I kind of messed up the day though, thought it was going to be Sunday I just realized its tomorrow.Crap and my legs are sore from running yesterday. Oh well atleast I don't have to swim or bike before this run.

I hope your race went well!

acv - 2011-10-15 4:32 PM It went pretty well I shaved a couples minutes off my time from last year. I had a few friends racing and one hadn't raced in a while. She was right behind most of the race but unfortunately I didn't know until we crossed the finish line.

Hey, folks! Sorry I haven't checked in for a while. Had some computer issues that kept me offline most of the time. I am looking forward to catching up with everybody's logs.

Steve- well done on your HM!

Adam- Hope your 10K went well.

Kathleen- A little more than a month to IMAZ, pretty exciting!

I decided to do a duathlon tomorrow for one last multisport race this season. I don't really feel ready, but it's short, 5K, 15 mile, 5K, so hopefully I won't faint.

Have a great weekend everybody!

julta - 2011-10-16 8:52 PM Great job Adam! Kathleen, that even kind of scared me when Anthony said just over a month away! It came so fast! I so wish I could go and cheer you on! So now for something totally different I did the Rugged Maniac with my son this weekend....almost killed me..3.1 miles of hell. I have a race report with a ton of pictures if your interested.

robingray_260 - 2011-10-16 9:58 PM I hope everyone had a great weekend.  It was (is) cold and rainy here, so stuck inside aaaalll weekend.  Today at the gym decided to try the row machine (Concept II) and I really enjoyed it.  Will definately have to add it to my routine over the winter (especially if I am still not running).  Has anyone else tried the rowing machines as they are always empty at my gym?

Julie has some great pictures of the Rugged Maniac race. It looks like a fun event.
