TriTryTri - A Summer of '17 Adventure

This week, I took the opportunity to drive myself into the ground get in some extra long workouts and run a race.  Good Times! After a long run on Sunday (10 miles; long for me lately) and a long ride on Monday (40 miles; still not enough volume!) my wife and I decided to run the Putnam County Classic, and 8-mile race in the next county over.  I'd done the race before, but didn't remember it well at all, and this was her first time.  We had checked out the website, which talked about this as a relatively flat race around a lake, which sounded great, but K was worried about it being too flat.  I mapped out the race, checked the elevation, and told her not to worry; there was some elevation.  That turned out to be an understatement, as there were hills all over the place, including all of mile 6.  But we run on hills, so no problem-o.

When i wasn't working, I was working out.  Long run on Sunday, Long Ride on Monday, Long-ish swim on Friday (saturday morning started very early), and sporadic walking and gym workouts in between.  I'm supposed to do a race tomorrow (July 4th proper) of about 8 miles with my wife - I hope ...
