Sasquatch

Hit some other trails after Microbiology class. It was a little moist and I left some tracks that might leave some believing that Bigfoot is lurking in the foothills of the UC. (Gracias Five Fingers)

Special gift from the weather gods: It was rainy all day, then at precisely 15:41, it cleared up and remained clear until 16:41, when the clouds and sprinkles returned. 6 miles

Pretty new shoes

Hit the trails in my new Vibram Five Fingers. Love them! I spent an hour five trotting around, feeling mother earth in my feetsies. Went 6 miles. Slow, but happy.

George

It absolutely lived up to its hype. The most difficult race I and 2000 other idiots have done.

But I did it.

I ate well, I drank enough, I used my chia seed.

I really enjoyed the day. Todd, Rob, Steve, Rich, Kathy, Devo, Spencer, Wayne, partrujos, wife, suegra, kimmels, berrys, jeffs. It was a social ironman and it was fun!

I never pushed it because I knew I didn't have it this time around as you can see by the last few months of posts and lack of posts.

It was beautiful and a great break.

A little hike Thursday morning.

Short swim with Robert Thursday afternoon.

Short spin with the boys Friday morning.

Followed with a real quick jog with Todd.

Went in feeling great.

Came out feeling all right.

Ready or not...

Probably not.

SO undertrained.

I suppose we'll see what happens.

I was going to run on Saturday and then on Sunday, but what's the point????

Here I come!

Swim Clinic

Good ole peer fitness put on a free swim clinic and Dennis gave us some GREAT insight into body positioning, arm position and training.

So thanks for that.

Timing

When your spouse is in his final prep week for ironman, its a good time to decide you are running in the mornings. Ah marital contention.

Brick!

45 min bike (ave 19.6, but it was windy - excuses)

transitioned to a 4 mile run. 7:45 ave.

Then I coached my first soccer game. It was ugly. We had an 11th show up (poacher) and the rotations weren't very smooth. But my kid kicked the ball a bit!
