Posted by althoffd on Jun 8, 2009 6:56:38 PM

 

OK it been awhile since the last post..  been busy with work, Finding a new job and also with training and running

 

so lets get going here with the update

 

 

Ran the Get in Gear ignagual half marathon on April 25  The goal was to beat the Fargo half that I did last year and I smashed it by 17 Min.  Ran with no hart monitor and no idea of pace except for at the first 3 mile marker and at the 10 mile marker. Ran by feel and felt great ran it in 1:40:48 at 7: pace also was a perfect day to run this. Also with that Time I qualified for  the first wave at the Twin Cities Marathon  very cool..

 

 

Second Ran the Northern Lakes 30K on May first time doing this and the distance.  it was very windy day and most the time running against the wind..  Ran it at 2:29:37 at 8:01 pace... problem took off to fast in the begining and was all over the place for pace fast one mile slower the next needed to learn a more steady pace and start off slower to keep fresh legs for the end but I did very well.

 

 

Last on is the Buffalo MN Triathlon.. a very windy and cold day to do a race the high temp only 55 degrees and the stat temp I think was 50 if lucky with a very stiff breeze from the NE time was the same as last year swim was better and the run was better
