Race two of the Nassau Run Series — the Lido Beach 4-miler — run on a flat, windy course. A no-frills training race, with the 5-mile Cedar Creek Park event up next on March 23rd.
Windy and flat. Not my favorite race conditions, but it’s always good to get a workout in. This was nothing special…so here are some pics!
Next part of this run series is a 5 miler on March 23rd at Cedar Creek Park.

At a Glance A last-minute entry into the Tobay Triathlon to jump-start my training block before the IRONMAN World Championships. Racing on heavy legs from a 23-hour training week, I posted the race-best bike split and held on through the run to finish 3rd overall in 60:37 — exactly the morale boost I needed. HIGHLIGHTS…

At a Glance Just 8 days after my DC half PB, I ran another personal best of 1:16:54 at the United NYC Half — a gritty, positive-split effort where I got dropped in Central Park, ground alone up Harlem Hill, and dug deep to break 1:17 down the West Side Highway.
