7-26 and 27th Weekend training - post em!

4 mile run this morning in 44:03. I'm pretty proud of myself.

I rode the course of my next tri at the end of Sept. 27.8km in 50m45s. Quite pleased.

As for the tires, I train and race on the tires which came with the bike, don't know what they are. But I do know they are at 110psi lol!

Did my first Olympic last weekend, so after taking it VERY easy this week, started back at the pool this morning, 1800m. Next up is a sprint in Sep and then start training for Philadelphia HM in November.

40 mile ride yesterday with a 3 mile run right after.

Today was 2500 in the pool and some strength training after.

yesterday i rode 72.5km (45.3miles)
this morning went for a 8km run (5miles)

i use maxxis re-fuse tires

90 mile bike on saturday, 16 mile run this morning.

IMCHOO is almost here!

Guided a blind triathlete through a Sprint. He biked 21+ MPH and ran sub 8 minute miles....

Racing on Saturday in Oly in nearby town. Not very impressed with my results. 3rd in AG; 2:41:32. It would have taken sub-2:29 to win 45-49 women. (No, course is not short, either! We just have some amazing athletes in Oregon, particularly on the bike.) Knew the swim and transitions would be difficult due to bruised ribs from recent mishap, and they were, but bike was not that great either. I hadn't calculated that riding in aero would also be kind of painful. I just suffer on the bike anyway so it didn't feel much worse than usual, but I don't think I was breathing properly and bike leg pretty slow. Cramped badly first mile of run but managed to get rid of it and then pushed the rest of the run very hard. The only satisfying part of the whole race is that I pushed the last miles of the run so hard that a woman who tried to hang with me had to stop and walk with 1/2 mile to go!

Probably last tri of season due to conflicts of fall SE Asia races with work demands. After a year of being consistently sick or injured for my races, but otherwise healthy and training consistently, and doing the same bike split umpteen times despite lots of training, about ready to "retire" from tri.

Sunday--Celebrated "retirement" (at least for this summer) by riding 25 miles in about two hours and picking a couple quarts of blackberries en route.

i got some training in , but not to the level I wanted...

Saturday - supposed to be long ride (6.5 hours)/3 mile run - after sitting in traffic for 2+ hours, then trying to reroute (I have to drive to get hills for training) - I headed home and did my Sunday ride/run (1hr bike/2 mile run)

Sunday - got to where I was trying to get Saturday - got 4 hours in and on the way back for my 2nd loop of a 30 mile course, came around a corner and hit a hole (it was that, or ride off into a ditch - I had a car on the other side) - the minute I hit it, I knew, flat...hobbled my way back to car (about 2 miles) - tried to change the tire...after 20 minutes of struggling and not even getting the tire off, I admitted defeat and did my run
