Ironman Alert!


A mighty congrats goes out to my bro da Ironman - Triguy!!!

<---- Read his race reports at his blog by following the link.

Well I haven't reported in a couple weeks but I have been running! I upped my distance to 9.5 k by accident. I guess I should actually look at my Garmin GPS when I run! Maybe I was feeling too good!?!

Been out 5 times in the last 10 days plus sandwiched some bike time in there as well. I am torn between the half marathon and the Duathlon in the next month. I may do both but I need some more saddle time...

I want to get my running distance up to 17 k or so in the next 4 weeks . I know that is pushing the "10 percent increase a week" I try to follow but with my knee injury I have fallen behind schedule.

I have to say I was really impressed with "my mistress" yesterday. She an I went out in the hurricane remnants and ran through sheets of rain (she cycled) in the dark. We did pretty well though my Garmin had trouble picking up the satellite in the terrible weather. It did kick in at my half way point so I figure I did at least 8k in the driving wind and rain. We saw lightning once and living amongst tall trees, we were going to turn back if we saw any more. We didn't. Our own extreme sport challenge :)

Again a hearty congrats and an ArrOOoo to Triguy an Ironman X Two!

Thanks for the gratz bro. :)
What's this about your running in the wind and rain? Hardcore! And a big cheers to Leah for being your 'pace bunny'.

Still waiting for some sort of proof or confirmation from you and the I-guy entering a race...
