good weekend of racing

I went in my first 10 k race in quite a while, this past saturday. (i have done tons of 10 k races but that last few years have mostly been in triathlons) i was a bit hungover which was not great but i generally wanted to see where i was at in terms of speed. At the best of times, I have never been super fast with 42 minutes being a good time for me at my best. I did a little over 43 minutes and was quite pleased with that for my first race in a while. Sunday, I did the china point duathlon and came 3rd out of 12 people and felt pretty strong. My first run was a little over 21 mins for 5 k and my second 5 k run (after biking 20 k) was only about a minute slower. I am thinking that is I keep doing these shorter races my triathlon run times will be faster this year. I am crazy busy at work this week and teaching two nights at UPEI so won't get much training. I swam 2000 metres on tuesday morning and am going to swim thursday morning. I will do hot yoga tonight and the charlottetown rec ride tomorrow night. Saturday, I am doing the red island relay solo and really looking forward to that. I feel like i should do pretty well. I think my speed is getting better and my endurance is quite good.
