Club Wars and the passage of September

My first month of serious "re-ramping" is now done. Can't say I've bounced back to IM fitness but luckily I have one more month. 50 mile rides feel decent and 15 mile runs don't kill me. And, best of all, my swim feels easy and is (I think) getting a tiny bit faster at medium effort. October will quickly tell if the Ironman distance event on 11/1 will be fast and painful, slow and mildly painful, or slow and really painful. Fast, of course, is relative.

Along with a lot more training September had me racing again. Just once in a hybrid medium distance tri. I got spanked by the Diesel. I won't say whether he had a great day or I had a tough one...I'll just leave it as he beat me on this particular day. Next challenge is B2B where Diesel adn the rest of us will have to call upon many, many Zen teachings in order to manage the day.
