Run 110422

Ran 6 miles in 40:25 - 6:44 pace.  Rolling to flat course so my time was good.

Race Day Post

Rumpass in Bumpass is done. Great race. Finished in 1:22:12 and in the early results 144 out about 700.  Definitely a good wake up call for the fall. Will do a full race report when i am home and the offical race results are posted.

Pre-race ride

Took my dad's bike out for a quick ride to stretch my legs. Glad i did because the seat needed to be adjusted.  Also did a short run.

Rumpass Pre-Race Report

Day before and weather is rainy and freezing outside, so glad the spring race is tomorrow versus today.  I feel for everyone doing the international distance today.  Fortunately, tomorrow is still supposed to be sunny and 71 with water temp around 68.  Swam in the lake yesterday and water was great, can't wait to feel the difference with the wet suit.

Jim and I are heading out to drive the course and pick-up our packets later this afternoon. Anxious to see the bike course to get a feel for the elevation changes.

Run 110410

Ran 4.07 miles in 28:18 - 6:57 pace. Pushed it hard and it felt great to stay under 7 min miles. My nagging injuries seem to be healed so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Spin 110407

Spin class this morning:

Time: 52:00 min
Distance: 20.00
Cals 625

Today's class kept the gearing low and the rpms high working on intervals. Can't believe I made it to two classes this week with the way things have been going.

Spin 110405

Spin class this morning:

Time: 55:00 min
Distance: 22.00
Cals 780

This class is the only thing I am doing consistently lately. Between injuries and struggling with motivation This has been a bad few weeks for me. Its not helping that the Tri in Lake Anna is only two weeks away.

Great Article on Wrestling.

As a former wrestler, the sport continues to be one of my favorites.
