Congrats to Rose and Lee. Took me forever to find the race results, listed at Hi-Tek. Rose ran 28:22, Lee a 24:08, from the picture take looks like everyone had a great time.
Mary and Lani ran 4.something on Saturday @the Brickyard, Mary now has a Garmin!!!
Today was the Litchfied Hills Tri for me, (Lani). I am no swift triathlete, but very happy about the improvements over last year. I think I was 206/214 finishers last year, dead last in my age division (but not dead - and that's an import ant thing when it comes to tris!). This year, thanks to some swim tips from Lynne Cox I took 15 minutes (!!) off my swim time. The bike was not too fast due to a mechanical problem and torrential downpour. Not exactly sure what's going on with the bike- the back wheel was scraping and all out of alignment, it's at the shop now because it's not exactly rideable. It seemed a little precarious to be riding with mechanical issues on crazy downhills in the rain, but I survived. And in the last leg, I took 14 minutes off the 10K run, for a 56:50 in the rain, not sure what that pace would be. I was still wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy down at the bottom of my age division but I sure am enjoying this new challenge. My NYC marathon training program called for a 13 miler today, so I went to the gym and did 7 miles on the treadmill in the afternoon as I had enough of being out in the rain.
Rose is running the Old Wethersfield 5 K next weekend, Mary and I are planning to run in Farmington. Not sure what Lee has planned.
I hope we will all be together in New Haven on the 6th, and plans seem to be shaping up for MDI.
Have a great week running and crosstraining.
