Cramping seems to be gone from my legs. Did an 8 mile hill run with my spectacularly fit friend Tammy, and it was not too bad. Several 20+ bike rides, too. Really getting used to my Slice 5 tri bike now, and I really liked it at Philadelphia.
This Sunday is the Mossman Sprint Tri in Norwalk, CT, and my daughter (21) Christina will be doing this race as a Christmas present to her Dad. She's very strong, will certainly beat my swim time, and maybe my run time, but she does almost no biking, and is using a 27 pound mountain bike for the race. So, I'll probably pass her on the bike, depending on the starting order. But she'll do much better than she expects to do. Her first open water swim last Saturday was a struggle, but she's experienced it now, and will be fine.
I also swam in Long Island Sound Saturday, then did a full bike/run brick on Sunday.
I have done Mossman every full year I have been doing tri (5), so it provides a yearly check on my progress with training and the process of aging. So far, I've improved my times each season, but last year's 1:19:XX could be hard to beat.
