Finish pic

Hey,

Went for a bike ride today. Yup that's right, first bike ride this year!! It looked gloomy in the morning outside, but thankfully the sun came out in the afternoon and I took my road bike out for a ride along the canal pathway to Chestermere and back. No idea on the exact time 90 minutes approx and no bike computer, I just road like I felt. It was a little windy, but not too bad. My legs felt it, the lack of riding. Still not sure how I'm finishing this year off. I think I may just stay away from the races and just get back to some general biking/running and who knows maybe even go for a swim here and there?

Cam didn't post the finish pic of both of us. If you didn't read my race report this is what basically happened. We started running together at about 5 or 6 miles, got to 18 miles and he went into a portapotty. I slowed in the last five miles and he caught me right at the finish. Pretty good picture, I might actually buy it as it'll be a good memory down the road.

Ironman Mount Tremblant

Food for thought eh guys? I've always wanted to visit this area, I bet I could convince Lisa to go too. Curtis I believe you've talked about how beautiful that area is correct? Maybe we should go east? Although Canada's course is difficult to beat. Oh btw it's the same time of year too. Apparently a new york city Ironman will be announced sometime too.

What now??

Got that empty feeling. I have several options. I guess the marathon didn't go exactly according to plan. The time was ok, but deep down inside I wanted more(or less meaning time). This was meant to be it for this summer. I was to slowly start preparing for next year. Now I'm not so sure, I could make another attempt in fall?? Although looking at it, this would be for 2013 Boston and I'd have to run 5 minutes faster as the newer faster times apply for that. Funny how I never really cared much for Boston when it was "easily" attainable. Now that I can't run that fast anymore I want it!!! LMAO. I hadn't even planned on going to Boston if I were to qualify, but nowwwww /cry Oh well, I need a week or two to figure out where I want to go from here. Right now I have all these ideas floating around in my head.
