I'm jumping the gun here (which I don't do in races) and posting before David starts the thread, 'cos I have the chance now, but likely will not later today.....
my week:
s - rest m - 1:25 long run t - :30 stationary bike (just getting started on the cycling training for the year) w - rest t - :40 tempo run f - rest s - :40 swim, :40 fast tempo run with some hills s - today... rest m (tomorrow) - 1:30 long run
goals:
May 28 Ottawa National Capital Half Marathon June 17 Ottawa Riverkeeper Olympic Distance Triathlon maybe, just maybe another Olympic Tri in Aug. and not impossible.... the Half IronMan in Sept.
Some friends and relatives of mine are interested in it (I would rather do the 10km) so I did some research. I was really surprised to see that the half starts at 10:15 am. Now that they've moved the Ottawa race weekend back 2 weeks to the end of May, if it's a sunny day, that's going to be hot, isn't? I am vaguely familiar with the route and there isn't much shade is there?
Have you ever done this race or heard reports of others who have on the newer end of May time slot? Any advice apppreciated. ~~~~~~~~~ Peter
