weekend of racing

This past weekend I did a 10 k trail race on Saturday in milton. My time was about 43 minutes and a bit. I am reasonably happy with that. This summer is the first time is a few years that I have had a chance to do some shorter races. Between the roadrunners races and the duathlons I have done, i have been getting a lot of speed training for running. I did the second cycle PEI duathlon on sunday and came first. There were not very many experienced racer's there so given the number of races I have done and the amount of training I do, I should have come first. I almost got passed just before the finish as I had had a substantial lead and got a bit complacent and thought i had won the race. I didn't notcie or hear someone catching up. That is a good lesson for me. There are 3 duathlons in the series and I have a first and a third place finish so I have a good shot at winning the series.

This coming weekend I am going to do the Deltaware 5 k race and then i am not sure what else on the weekend. I should go for a bike ride at some point and may do that on Saturday afternoon. I am still doing hot yoga a couple of time per week and trying to swim at least two times per week. another of my goals this summer was to start riding to work on my bike to and from New glasgow perhaps twice a week as a training thing. since I finish at teaching at UPEI this week, I plan to start that next week.
