Cold Cold Cold

I had a great week last week, starting to enjoy some down time. A cold front moved in making the Turkey Trot a very Cold, Windy, and miserable experience. Looking forward to running a fast course i was not too keen when i saw a few of the hills that the course offered. I felt like i was running up the Malahat in Victoria or running up the old heart attack hills at Laurentian University, however it was a good fun day. I was second in 33:59 a pretty slow time but considering the route and how hilly and windy it was i was pretty impressed, i even said hello to some friends that i had watching at mile 5 and didn't realize that i was running a solid time, good thing i crossed the line just in time. The course was fun, not too much to report about the race took the first mile out slow in 5:13 and then slowly passed some people that went out too hard, it was hard to judge the time because all of a sudden we would be running fast and then i would hit a hilly section and we would have a 6min mile in. I tried a few attacks but the legs weren't feeling very fresh after the 91kms of running prior. Regardless it was good Thanksgiving weekend, the weekend ended a big week of running and maintained 4 good swims with F.A.S.T and a few easy recovery rides.
Friday i will head to San Antonio to race a duathlon called "hell of a du" and then will get ready for The White Rock half marathon in Dallas the next weekend. Other than that not too much to report on mustache is coming on strong i may have to shave it soon. Anyways i will report on this weekends battles later in the week. I have a few big days a head of me for training, as well as my Birthday tommorow then a big football game on thursday when the boys are playing the packers.
Cheers
