Busy weekend

Well, my plans of biking to Montague and running the half marathon went slightly astray when I had a flat tire about an hour outside of Charlottetown. That is my second flat this year and a little worrying when you are not supposed to get many flats with tubular tires. Also, when you get a flat, you can't really fix it on the spot because the tires are glued on. I caught a ride to montague and did the half marathon anyway. I had a good race for me and felt pretty strong at the end. My time was a little over 1:39 which is a good time for me at that distance. My best half marathon time is 1:38 on a easier half marathon so I was pleased with that.

Yesterday, the gang (Darcy, Greg, Corena and I) cycled out to Cavendish and then New Glasgow. At my place in New Glasgow, we split up and Corena and I headed to the south shore to complete 4.5 hour ride and the others went back to town. It was good to have the company and I was glad we did the ride. My legs are a bit sore this morning. I swam a little over 2000 m this morning and did some IM and back stroke and breast stroke which was fun for a change. This is a light training week on the Ironman program before a getting into the really heavy training over the next month or so. I forgot to mention on my blog that I did qualify for the USTA half iron distance championships when I did Mooseman. (I wasn't that thrilled with my time but still did pretty well in my age group) I am not going to do it as it is in September right after Ironman canada and another trip would be out of the question. I am going to run for 45 minutes after work.
