On our way to setting personal records at Surf City Marathon
Lately it has been all about my “C race,” Surf City Marathon. (My A race is the Ironman and my B race is my half Ironman. Yes, this is how triathletes talk. Don’t believe me? Watch this educational YouTube video!
Week 9 of Ironman training I set a personal record and ran 26.2 miles in 3 hours 49 minutes and 30 seconds, and week 10 I spent recovering from those 26.2 miles. It was a great two weeks dedicated to my passion – RUNNING. I’m thinking my next goal will be to qualify for Boston!! But first things first. I want to be an Ironman!
Smile! We all set personal records!
