Well that was quite a break.. wasn’t it!
So what a slacker blogger I’ve been. Luckily I’ve been busy, although let’s be honest, I gots to be getting busier…
Although, this is the first weekend I haven’t had a race in 4!
Quick race reports:
Rock and Roll Marathon Relay:
This was fun! It was such a relief to revisit the only marathon I ever ran, and to only have to run 7.9 miles of it (3rd leg). I ran it with Jen Hart and Beth Karlin, and Beth’s boyfriend Zar. We did pretty well! Hey, we beat my PR… our time was 4:09:22, and my leg was 1:14:15.
I did have to literally donate my shoes, literally right after, because they crossed the wear out threshold somewhere between mile 4 and mile 5. The run was fun, loved the bands and the sight-seeing.
UCSD Grove Run, 5K
Totally last minute, but UCSD had this sustainability 5K that only cost $10 for students. I heard some UCI tri club members were going, and I convinced an adorably pregnant Mer to join me. And I biked there (18 miles one-way), which took some minutes off my “green” time and won me an eco-bandanda!
Time: 23:22
Wish I could say I PRed, but quite a few people pointed out to me that their Garmin’s said it was like 2.9 miles… guess they’re giving Carlsbad a run for their money?
Encinitas Sprint Triathlon
So fun! I did this with Jackie, and it was great. Actually Jackie and I were in different waves, but it was fun. Another reminder that I need to ocean swim more. So hard to sight! I also, literally lost my timing chip in the ocean, how I don’t know, but the race organizers were nice enough to take my heart-rate monitor time (bless them!).
Time: 1:25:21
So that’s it for now, it’s late and I gotta ride tomorrow! Off to Germany on Tuesday, so excited! Going to bring my new sneaks and goggles.
Cheers,
