Okay. So I should really be keeping track of training swims/bikes/runs but life gets in the way. Safe to say I had some great and some not so great of each since my last post.
This past weekend I joined a team of Barbarians for two races on the mainland. Rum Runner's Relay happened all day Saturday. I ran leg 3 which was around 11.2km. I covered the rolling course, which included a section of Rails to Trails in Tantallon in just over 56 minutes. I wasn't pushing it in the least since I knew I was racing again the next day and really wanted to beat last year's Riverport time. I felt good. Ran through some rain.

The 2011 Riverport Du happened in what can only be described as biblical rain. It was a bit nutty and scary on the bike. This year the rain held off until the last racer came off the course. Riverport is a 4km run, 28 km bike and another 4km run. I couldn't have been much happier with my performance. A solid middle of the pack placing (what more can a guy ask for?) and the fastest I've ever run 8km even though there was a hilly and challenging bike ride in the middle. I managed to beat last year's time by just over 10 minutes. Stoked.
