Between my last post and now, a ton of things have happened. I signed up for a second fall marathon which I'm running for pancreatic cancer research, I did my first sprint tri, and I signed up for an Ironman 70.3 with a group of friends. This is quite the jump from a sprint. I've got until February to train, as we're making this a destination race and going to Ironman Panama, but this will definitely be a new chapter in my distance event experience. Beyond the obvious jump from marathon training to a very long tri distance, all of the training for this race will be in cold weather, something I usually avoid. Should be interesting.
In order to keep myself on track, I'm going to try to get back into posting here, as I'm sure I'm going to rack up a ton of learning experiences along the way.
For now, I'm chugging along with NYC Marathon preparations (although my long runs have been interrupted by vacation and a terrible cold), ramping up for the Hamptons Marathon in just 3 and a half short weeks, and starting to plan out how to turn that marathon base into a good start for this tri.
Here's hoping I get used to running in the cold come November.
