ERR 10K

I just completed the ERR 10K this morning.  The time was not stellar, but not bad.  A 34:15 coming at the end of the my first week on a new job that requires three days a week away from home.  The race felt good and the mile splits were even so I can't complain.  I finished 4th overall and 1st in my age group.  Next up is Breezy Point Sprint next weekend!

Training Update

So it has been a couple of weeks since I posted anything.  Here is a quick update.

My training is going well for the most part.  Nick at Range of Motions has really helped.  My swim stroke has gotten longer and my times have improved and the only thing different I have done is loosen up my lats and other muscles.  It will be interesting to see how this translates into competition.  My biking is going well and so is the running.  I am running as fast as I was a few years ago and feel better. 

Today, I did a brick (30 mile ride and a 10 mile run) where both the ride and the run were negative splits and that was fighting a head wind most of the way back on the bike! 

With a 10K and a Sprint Tri coming up in the next few weeks I am anxious to see how the hard work I have been putting in pays off.

Thanks for reading my posts.

Jewish Family Services 5K

Ran the Jewish Family Services 5K on 05/02/10.  Well put on event with good support.  Bike lead had a rough job pushing tourists and other runners out of the way on this loop course on the boardwalk.  Great job to the bike lead!  I took first overall in the 5K in a time of 16:53.  Not a spectacular time, but considering there was no taper or any kind of normal pre-race prep I was pleased with it.


Thanks to Final Kick and Range of Motions for your support.  The ROM workouts are really helping. 

Ran this morning.  I will be heading down to ROM shortly for the Monday workout and then to the pool for a swim.
