7 days until my first triathlon!!! I have no idea how I’m going to do time-wise, but I can tell you that this week which was supposed to be my peak week was not my peak. I think my plan is to make the triathlon this week my test tri and the one in 3 [...]

Running: 144 minutes, 13.5 miles, 10:40 minutes/mile pace (pretty good!). I don’t think I’ve mentioned before but I use a great website, Running Ahead to track my [...]
