Ironman Augusta 70.3 - 45 Days to go

Had a great run yesterday of 4.2 miles. The first mile was really slow as I got my knee joints nice and flexible again. After it went a little faster but not much. It wasn't about speed but about running after the 1/2 marathon distance.

I'm starting to look at some used bikes but I think I'm going to pass. When I get to Ironman distance, I'm definitely going to have something faster and more built for distance. For now my modified mountain bike does a great job. I've even given it a name. It's a Gary Fisher bike with a deadhead style paint job, kinda flowing and hippyish. I'm calling it Gary Garcia.

Today we had guests and I took the day as my break day. Tomorrow will be back to the swimming and some cycling. My knee has been hurting today, so I'm going to lay off the running tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to the sprint triathlon I'm doing on Sunday! It's going to be a blast.
