Time To Run

The next 10 days are spent working on the run. Yeah, I’ll hit the pool and the bike a few times, but I’m focusing on the run. Matt and I are headed back out to the Gear West Duathlon on the 17th to compete as “Team Happy Pants” again. Here we are before last years race:

Last year, we placed 2nd out of 16 teams. This year, we’re going for it all. He’s got a better bike and is probably in better biking shape this year. And I’m in better running shape and a bit of a “smarter” runner than last year at this time. We’ll see what we can do in that tough field!

Last night, I banged out a nice, breezy 7 mile run. I finished hard in 44:31 overall (6:21/mile average). I have class until 8 tonight, so there's no workout today. Then tomorrow evening I’ll hit the track for some intervals. Speedwork, here I come!

p.s. The official results are up from last weekend’s du, but the splits aren’t up yet (it was “hand timed,” and they’re still working out the kinks). I’ll put those up when they come in, along with the official race photos of all of us.

p.p.s. Tomorrow night is the first official meeting of the “CVA Triathlon Club!” (The official triathlon club of a small art college where I’ll be getting some students to the finish line of their first triathlon in about 12 weeks!) I’m getting some info together to hand out to everyone. No workout yet, just paperwork and logistics. We’ll start working out as a group next week!! CAN’T WAIT!!
