Yeah! Glad you're back to running Scheherazade and edbikebabe - hope SoCalTricurious will be able to join you soon! Congrats on the ocean relay, anyway; happy to hear you had fun.
Last week's goals: - swim x 1: win
- bike x 1: win
- run x 5: win with 6
- core/strength x 4: win
After the tri on the 10th, I'm pretty sure I'm done with multisport. I'll still ride my bike for fun and swim for recovery and some general fitness, but I'm probably going to sell my wetsuits and TT bike come spring. 30 triathlon starts (2 DNFs - one due to a broken chain where I still did the run, and one due to a broken wrist where I did no such thing) in 8 seasons doesn't seem like too bad a whack at it, and ultra is just what floats my boat these days. Roaming through the woods is just so much more fun than slogging through another bike ride surrounded by cornfields and cows.
I went from 2 weeks of little to no running (due to taper for the tri and our paddle trip) to almost 50k for the week, and that didn't feel like much. Tweaked my left ankle a bit on Sunday, though, so need to keep an eye on it.
This week's goals: - swim x 1
- bike x 1
- run x 5
- core/strength x 4
Also need to get some serious prep work done this weekend - long weekend of backpacking coming up next!
