8 miles easy with the running club.  1:00:24

Dana and I stopped at 8 miles. I was trying to be good and keep it short, while most of the rest of the club went 16 miles.  Leg felt pretty good.   

 

600 m swim in the lake to try out the gear.  It was cold, but with the wet suite on I was fine once my face got numb.  I need to do that a few more times before race day. It sure is different than swimming in the pool.

You're smart to hold back! Better safe than sorry! NICE dress rehearsal swim in the lake!

is your Tri in two weeks?

Smooth, yep, my triathlon is coming up quickly in 11 days on the 17th. I need to figure out how to taper for that while still training for my half marathon next month.

"I was fine once my face got numb"

Good luck on your St. Patrick's tri! Is this your first?

From Rhett on Tue, Mar 06, 2012 at 14:49:16 from 170.215.58.122

Thanks Fly. It is my first tri in about 6 years, but I have done a handful of them in the past. And over the past 5 years I've been the runner on tri relays a number of times.
