Went for a hike on the Wapack with LE from Sharon trail head to Temple Mountain and back. Gorgeous day and great views.

Lobsterman Triathlon. Still tired from ironman, but figured it would be good training. Getting into Casco Bay in a sleeveless wetsuit was an exercise in character building. This swim was freakin; endless and I didn't think I swam that badly (for me) , but my time tells a different story. My hands were so cold by the end that I couldn't keep the fingers on my left hand together. My TA to the bike was longgggg because I couldn't get my damned arm warmers pulled onto my wet arms. But I was glad I had them- I was cold.

Bike leg was hilly and I passed a ton of people, but my time still wasn't as fast as I would have liked (18.45 mph). I think I doze off a bit at thhis distance and don't stay as focused on the push, but it was probably fine as my legs were tired by the time I got to the run. Good wind out ont he bike but luckily nothing like the ironman.

TA from bike to run was much better. Legs were tired but I think I've gotten better at keeping the turnover pace going off the bike. 7:54pace. Had to slow to drink a lot on the run at aid stations as I had dropped my bottle on the bike so I was thirsty. Final time of 2:47:43. 36th female out of 193 women starters, 5th of 22 in age group. Didn't set the world on fire, but it was fine.

Ran with The Kid and Buddy the Dog. One big hill and then you get to relax, http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/us/nh/peterborough/8...

Quick spin. About as flat as you can get arouind here. Just one hill and it's not big, http://www.mapmyrun.com/ride/united-states/nh/pete...

This is just an estimate. I think it's longer, but had to draw lines in for the trails. There is one big hill that didn't come in so I must be off. But it's close. Anyway, ran with The Kid and Buddy the Dog. We finished with headlamps. http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/us/nh/peterborough/4...

Nice run with SH. First run since the IM a week ago Sunday. Recovery (slacker) week is over. Actually felt pretty good. Time to get back at it.

Some good pushes in here of pace and nice hills, but had a flat and some tired people to slow down for. All good.
