The First Three Weeks

So I've completed the first 3 weeks of the CES half ironman training. So far, I've had some great workouts, helpful clinics and met some wonderful people. During each group workout I am reminded that this program was an excellent investment. I've gotten to know some fantastically determined, disciplined and friendly people. The longer runs are up to roughly 70 minutes right now with our last run being a 10k time trial. I had to do the 10k time trial on my own since I was in Michigan for mother's day. I had no idea what my pace could be for 6.2 miles. I set off at a clip I am not accustomed to early Saturday morning with my father, who is currently training for a maybe marathon. He's not 100% sure about the marathon quite yet, but I'd like to think this is his year, too. I think he took a short cut after about 3.5 miles--he's not quite there yet. I finished at about 53:55, so I was fairly happy with that. I had no idea what to expect, so sub 9s is fine with me.

My dad wrote a hilarious email about a recent bike training he did. My next post will be his email.

Happy tris!
