Week 8 tri training update. Recovery week. 1150m swim, 32.3 mi bike, 13.7 mi run. Highlight: A nice 7 mile trail run in the hills. Lowlight: My quads the day after the trail run in the hills. This week I get to do my first bike power test in a while. Hopefully I’ll see some progress.

I ran Monday, Wednesday and Thursday with co-workers and did a solo 5K on Friday to work off some grump after the snow cleared out. Timing my day off on Tuesday for the rain was a good idea, ending my 6-day running streak. The weekend was awesome! Beej and I hit the trails at Pawtuckaway State Park for about seven miles up the main hill to the fire tower and back to the parking lot. Plenty of mud, had to pick our way over rocks, and practiced a steep ascent as well as fueling on the go. Sunday’s long solo run was a fuel and sock fail – got a big blister at mile 9 in the center of Byfield so I took off my sock for the last 6 miles. And even though I drank Perpetuem and ate a Hammer Gel my legs felt tired the last 4 miles. Lessons: Eat more! and retire the Thorlos – I’m now sticking with my Smartwools. The right kind of socks dug out of the dirty laundry are better than clean socks that don’t fit well.
Total miles: 41 miles over 6 days.
