Though it is not Hawaii, western Washington is a beautiful place in the summer. Some of the trees are starting to turn, the hint of Fall is in the air as well as the ever present hot air balloons. Right now the weather is good and there are trails to run and bike on.Today training consisted of a visit to the Monroe YMCA: 2 miles on the C2 rower, 30 min. of resistance training and 1 mile timed run on the treadmill. I was pleased to maintain the 4 mph speed from start to finish. Next month I hope to improve that to 5 mph.
Since coming back home one thing that I have become more aware of is that in Hawaii there are so many more people out and training, people running, biking, and swimming everywhere. Here it is not so obvious. I was missing the connection so today I signed up with a triathlon social network at http://iamtri.com/. We'll see if I can connect with some locals for training. Still looking for a good buy on a tri bike. So far nothing local, several internet sources; Kuota K Factor and Cervelo P2, both around $1800-2000. Still looking.
Next training is in the pool. A hui hou; see you on the road.
