p.m. 4 mile Avondale run
Monday-15 minute "training" swim from Weekapaug Beach. I had all good intentions for this one, but it turned out to be a complete disaster. Jellyfish completely infested these ocean waters. When I wasn't swimming through the nasty jelly things, I was swimming right into huge clumps of their remnants. It was itchy and miserable, but better than no swim at all. After finishing the swim, I went for a 6+ miler with a lady friend.
Tuesday: 40 minute swim...definitely 1+ mile
Wednesday: 7 mile run..hit a local Strava segment hard..then did 6X400m at HELL Field..solid day.
Thursday: Mowed lawn after work and followed up with a 3.5 mile run with Lulu for a 30 minute spin on the stationery bike and dinner.
Friday: 4 mile shakedown with Lulu.
Saturday: a.m. NK5K, 16:57, 3rd
Results
Quick synopsis
-Very cool race, free adult beverage for all 21+ post race
-Well organized, despite the course measuring out to be just under 3.2.
-Congrats to Crutch on yet another PR (21:36) and John Hammett on taking the 70+ division
-Team WTAC Win.
-Happy to be nipping at Kevin O'Neil's heels towards the end of the race. I've always had a ton of respect for that dude.
-Winner Eric Lonergan ran strong and showed what a class act he is post race.
-Overall, I felt comfortable pretty the entire race. I didn't run a blazing time but think I would have been about 10 seconds faster if it was right on 3.1.
