Trek to 96.5


Welcome to my training blog. I'm training for my first half-Ironman and my fourth marathon.


7 June 2015

On Thursday I did an open water swim race in a local reservoir. The day was warm, the water was beautiful, and I placed second(!) in the 2-mile swim. Second in my age group, that is. I was the third woman overall. I was very pleased with my time of 1:10, especially as my goal was 1:18.

Winners get a beer.

Saturday I tried for a 50-mile ride, but leg cramps deterred me from finishing. However, I amde it back to Stevens Creek reservoir before turning around, and it was beautiful.

Dressed like a diva.

Tuesday starts my marathon training for Chicago, adding that 26.2 to the 70.3.

Start 26.2 training.
