All in all, I feel some good progress. Fitness is at a much higher level now than it was last year at this time... I hope that can only mean good, but as I have seen from my swimming background, I know it's not always the case. I am hopeful and I am impressed with the TT result from Saturday.
Saturday was the Valley to the Sea Half Marathon and I had a nice PR (and course record, oh boy) on the course. It's a fast point to point course and good net downhill. Overall time was a 1:16:30 and had a first place overall finish. Good deal.
The start was very fast. The first 3.5 miles are downhill and set my fastest 5k, 10k and 10 mi time in the process. I think I went through 5k at 16:48, 10K at 35:40ish, and 10 miles at 58ish. There is a .8 mile beach run portion that went well this year. I am learning to pick my place in the sand to run.
Other than that, I have my P3 here and have ridden every day. I rode home the 30 miles from the race on Sat and it went great. Life is good and Maui is great... I am very happy with how I am feeling this time in the year.
I think the elite card might come this year. Aloha.

Aiden has woken up at 4-5 and this was one of the am adventures. I had a bit of a hangover and it sucked.
