2010 Adirondack Canoe Classic Day 2

Spoke with my dad last night and is sounds like they had another great day in the boat.  Congrats to the "Splenda Glenda" team and gook luck on the final day.

Day 2 results are here.

UPDATE: Here are photos from the second day thanks to Joanne Kennedy. 

Marshman Dry Run

Rode the Marshman course with Jim (~12.5 miles).  We finished by doing the run portion (~1.75 Miles).  It was a review of the course and a reminder of the three good sized hills on the bike portion.

Adirondack Canoe Classic not just a race, but an endurance test(Video with article)

I was talking with my wife this morning and I can say I really miss the race this year.   I just need to figure out how I can balance training for a 70.3 and train for this.

UPDATE: Here are photos from the first day thanks to Joanne Kennedy.  Here is one of my dad.

Run 100909

Ran 4.62 miles in 34:58 (7:34).  I a little slower than I would have liked.  The hill on Shilo road definitely hurt my time.

I have some ITB discomfort so no running tomorrow and Advil tonight.

Also, I just checked the weather and it looks like rain for next weekends race.

90 Miler this weekend.

I will not be racing the 90 this year but I will be cheering on my dad who is racing in a War Canoe.  Looks like the weather will be nice and I will be following their progress each day.  Good luck dad.

Went canoeing with my father on the Christina River in Wilmington.  It was my first time paddling this season - outside of little trips with the kids.  I definitely missed it this year.  I also borrowed my dad's bike to train with for the next two weeks.

Did 2 rounds of

4 mile hill loop Bike
.6 mile Run

15:13/4:06/15:26/4:00

Bike times were slower than the previous time I did it(~14:30) A good chunk of that time was lost due to the fact that about a half mile of road was being repaved and I had to slow it down over the grated surface.  Run felt good.

Run 100901

Ran 4.67 miles in 34:56. 7:30 pace, a little slow but given the heat and humidity this morning I am please with it.  I definitely was never in the red as far as pushing it.
