Monday morning Joe and I got up at 5:15am in order to get to the Olympic oval in Lake Placid by 6:15 am to sign up for the Ironman next year. I think we are showing our insanity just by getting up to go and register for a race that is in a year. We sat in a very long line for several hours just so we could get a really nice piece of paper that says that we can register on-line for the race on July 27!!! So, we are in!!!! The next year of our lives is dedicated to completing 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of biking, and 26.2 miles of running in one day - JULY 26, 2009!!!!
It was only fitting that the first things that we did was do a mini tri in Lake Placid last night. A good way to get yourself into triathlon mode!!! I PRed as well with a great run after a not so great swim or bike. I also came in third in my age group which has never happened at Monday night Mini Tris before. I am really excited!!!
Here is the race rundown:
Swim 9:56
T1: 1:57
Bike: 45:39
T2: 1:06
Run 29:03
Total: 1:27:65
Hamstrings hurt on the ride but everything felt great on the run. Swim was off a little but not too bad.
Joe and I then had a beer with some friends in celebration of our upcoming training!!!
I am excited to have finished the 2009, 2010, and 2014 Lake Placid Ironman, 2016 Ironman Mont Tremblant, the New Jersey Marathon, Rock n Roll Arizona and San Antonio Marathons, ING NYC Marathon, Mohawk Hudson Marathon, and the Vermont City Marathon. I have also run lots of other running races and several 70.3 races. I love racing and triathlons. This is a blog about training and racing!
