Tuesday, was back to school for the kids. The wife worked from home to be able to see them off and pick them up. In the afternoon, while my toddler slept, I slapped on my Vibram 5 Fingers and went for a run. I jogged 1.2 miles out along the path in the neighborhood and back. I managed to run the whole distance without walking and I kept up a 10 minute mile pace. My legs are still pretty wasted from the effort, two days later, but I should be recovered for the race. My guess is that my time for the triathlon this weekend will be around 1:45 which would have put me pretty darn close to last place in last year's race...this year there are almost 3 times the number of entrants, so I'll probably have a better shot at coming in mid-pack. My current dilemma is which bike to take? I have a Softride that is set up for this sort of thing, but the course is pretty short (2 x 7 mile lap) so the Litespeed with climbing wheels might be better at accelerating out of the turns. The long straight section out is around 2 miles and on the way back it's around 2.4 miles. Maybe the Softride with the climbing wheels instead of the Zipp 404 front/disk rear?
