KP Challenge This is the clubs time trial taking place every couple of months. It involves a 500 yard swim, a steady 7mi bike climb of 2000 ft, and a 1 mile run. Mostly based on a stronger bike (new PR of 34min55sec) I got a new PR of 47m29s (last one was 49:59).
JUNGLE RUN
This c-race I did got me the first podium ever! Yeah. The race is called the Jungle Run. To be fair it was more the lack of serious competition but I did manage to take 3rd overall at a local 10k race with 280 participants.The time was 38:00.5 which is within a second of my PR, but since I raced the KPC challenge the day before I felt very good about it. The race uses the Los Gatos trail that I train regularly on.
CATFISH
Another tune-up race was the CatFish race. This was a 1.2 mile swim in the local reservoir. It was a superhot day (like 108F/42C).The swim went well and I posted a 34:00min flat and was 27th out of 96. Last year it took me 35:47min and I was 69th so needless to say that I am happy with this improvement on my weakest sport!!!!
We followed this up with a stiff run in the heat that got a little sweaty but was necessary for the upcoming VINEMAN race on July 30th.
