Claire dropped me off in Sebastopol and I ran home from there. It is around 13 miles and last night it took me 1 hour and 43 minutes. I did an extra loop around Ragle park beforehand to add in some extra miles. My legs felt relatively good considering we had gone in to work at 7:30 and had gotten off at 5:00. I figure I can consider that some cross training, standing in the work area all day and then running. Only 16 more days till the Full Vineman. I can’t think of anything else I could be doing better to train for it. Maybe some more swimming, but I will survive that part no matter what. I will try to get in a swim today at the SSU pool. I still haven’t put my aerobars on my bike yet, and I need to get some miles in using the aero position.

Claire and I are considering signing up for the Ukiah Triathlon which takes place Sept. 7. Claire hasn’t done a triathlon since she did the Olympic Vineman many years ago. It will be a 1/2 mile swim, a 21.7 mile bike ride, and a 3 mile run. I have always wanted to do this event, and am looking forward to the it.
