Wow, sorry I missed a few posts. Work killed me last week. So the big news is that I PR'd at the Gold Coast Tri and found myself with a newly improved sub-6 min/mile. It's crazy to look back and think that three years ago I was running a 9 minute mile with an extra 40 pounds around my waist. Suddenly, I am my age-group champ in the running leg of my first triathlon. It really put things in perspective. For the first time I'm actually wondering if I have what it takes to become an age group athlete, if I could shave a few minutes off of my bike (a few of which should come by switching to clip ins and aerobars) I would have finished within the top three age group over all. Looks like I'm going to have something riding on the TOBAY race after all!
Last Wednesday was the corporate challenge, a 3.5 miler in Central Park. My time last year was around 21:40 and I was really hoping to break 20 minutes this year. I came close but I finished with a 20:21, or 5:49 per/mile. Again, it feels amazing to be breaking that barrier.
Sunday I had the Road Runner's Achilles 5 mile in central park and just had no energy. Most likely caused by running 3 races in less than week... duh... Well I just jogged it out and relaxed and had a 37 something. The storms held off from ruining our race but the humidity was still brutal.
I had a brick yesterday and cruised so I think today I'll just relax and bike. One of these days I'll rest... I promise....
