Week 1 - Half Ironman training

This weekend was a breakthrough in how to complete the training - prioritize.

There were 3 workouts to do:

2 500 meter timed swims:  12:14 and 12:36 at Banworth Natatorium

40 minute run:  new Bicentennial trail

75 min. bike ride

Especially with the cold weather it was a good time.

Millennium Cup

One of the benefit of staying home is being available when a good local offer comes up - like to play in a golf tournament.

The Millennium Cup is a Ryder Cup, 24 players per team/ Red v. Blue golf tournament.  When I asked about it 2 years ago, I received a pleasant but firm "invitation only" response.

This year I got the invite - and I was ready.

Yesterday I played with Paul - we're on the blue team.  We play out own ball, pick the better score and play match play against the other red team. I shot 85 by myself - pretty good.  We lost the front 9, tied the back 9 and lost the 18 hole match.  So we scored a 1/2 point to their 2 1/2.  Not bad.  But Blue is in the lead.  We'll see how it turns out today.
