Holy crap did she hurt us today. I kind of liked it! :) Lots of high-resistance, long-duration intervals with minimal active recovery. I spent much of the workout at or slightly above my LT. Good fun!

great Mystic Y tri class - run 4.1 mi 00:33 08:06 pace
The running loop included going Reynolds Hill Rd and down School St today. I got in 3 loops before heading back to the Y. Pushed hard on the run. It felt awesome!

Awesome work! You got another tri coming up? The Niantic sprint in August is great. I've also done the Madison one in September a couple times.

Did intervals today through Mystic. I managed to get in 5 loops in the time we had, which means 5 times up Clift St, all the way from Gravel St to Pequot. Nice little climb!

@Penny, I am trying a new plan this time around. It doesn't "officially" start until 15JUL, but I am going to start ramping up the miles a little before then so I am good and ready to hit the ground running...pun intended. :)

Well, the official results are posted. I placed 52/188 and 11/20 in my age group. I was 120th in the swim (no surprise there), 26th on the bike and 50th in the run. My transitions felt decent to me but can obviously be better as I placed 118th and 106th in T1/T2, respectively. Looking forward to improving these numbers for next time!
