Comments:

This was a small run on the local rails to trails trail. I signed up early in the season, intending to do the full marathon. Injuries sidelined me most of the summer but I managed to build up to the half, not as well as I should have, but I ran this just to finish! The first half of the race is uphill and the return is downhill. It was hard, but was a beautiful morning for a run! I was happy just to finish and pass some people in the last few miles!

Warm down:

Grabbed a heat blanket and some chocolate milk!

What limited your ability to perform faster:

Lack of training due to injuries.

Event comments:

Fun out and back race on the rails to trails trail!

I signed up for Ironman Frankfurt, next year July - and I am very excited about it. I originally planned to run my first Marathon in the middle of September, but am not sure if this is wise.

Is one month enough time to recover from my first marathon to go and do my first olympic tri? My alternative options are to do the 1/2 marathon and then do the olympic.

Ever since I’ve started training for this triathlon, I’ve noticed some subtle differences between me and my friends who are actually VFT’s (Veterans of a Finished Triathlon).

So after about 10,000 emails, dozens of phone calls, and one pre-race pasta dinner, the 1st meeting of the Steve's in a triathlon finally arrived.
