Riding!


First 50 miler of the season. My legs were a little tired from the 10k time trail on the bike and the 2.75 road race yesterday at MIT but I was able to hit most of my watts. Mel B. went with me and we were able to keep each other in views. Not catastrophes, didn't get lost. Just a steady ride. 




I took this pic because this house has Old Glory hanging at the entrance of his driveway.  Cool.

Today I entered my very first swim meet. Some people might think it a little naive or crazy to have the nerve to enter a masters championship with little experience in swimming. HOWEVER they are not me. The experience was fulfilling. I wondered how I would feel being at the ivy league school with all of these very experienced, very fast swimmers with their swim skins and all. How daunting it could be. Once there I realized it was really not daunting at all. I mean, yes, it's a big deal if you are going in for a win or to obtain a PR. That's a big deal. But for me I was there to practice my .8 mile swim. It was just a lot of fun. My friend Cheryl counted for me and I in turn counted for her. Unfortunately for me I forgot that an orange marker means that you are on your last length and so I accidentally swam an extra length. Everyone was yelling at me to get out of the water. What I thought when I heard them yell was that "you are taking too long, please get out of...

Mantra going into this race: Be like a child, respond easy to changes, let people be who they are. I was Patient. Cooler temps were helpful. I had a well thought out pacing plan and stuck to it. Relax in the run and try to enjoy it. Stay focused. TRUST in your training. Fuel before and during. Don't be affraid of the carb! I was at +9 TSB FITNESS FORM IN TP. I was 3 days into the new moon power phase. Race morning - took a quick shower to warm up. Coffee. Mary gave me half of her peanut butter sandwich, that was key. Fueling for this race went as: Water, half peanut butter sandwich and coffee, banana. Also Filled water bottle with LMNT drank most of that before race. Had to pee 2 times before the start. Temps started high 30s and were into mid 40s at finish. I only wore 3/4 pants and one long sleeve shirt, gloves. Saucony Endorphin Speed Pro. They were great. Did not wait in portojohn line. Ran around the school to the woods. Pee'd there. The course was really pretty alon...
