UPDATE

Took a little vacation. Now I'm back in the gym.

Today:

30 min ERG --> cadence 21-24
split 1:58-2:04

Weights --> chest, shoulders

20 min Swim --> 3 x 250

Great Raleigh Road Race

Just thought I would post the results from the GRRR so we could all be in awe of how fast some of these guys are. The winning time was 25:07, a 5:03 minute-mile pace for 5 miles!! And 4 of the top 5 guys were in our (20-24) age group. The only guy that was not in that age group was the 3rd place finisher and just so happened the same guy that WON the triathlon last weekend! (26:05, 5:14 min-mile pace).

I finished 45th overall, out of almost 400 people, and a lot of them were really serious runners. I finished 6th in the age group (did I mention that 4 of the top 5 were from my age group?!), with a total time of 34:21, a 6:53 min-mile pace. I was happy, as I was shooting for sub-35 minutes, and did that by 40 seconds.

Needless to say, my body has been fighting me back after all of this punishment, but i've got a knee brace, some advil, and determination, so hopefully i can get it back in line, haha.

We're also still thinking about doing one more triathlon before the end of the summer if anyone is interested. I'll send out info to the listserv once we make a decision.
