New racing action!

Hello to the 2 people that keep checking for an update (I see you mom and dad)! 

So as I round the corner to 40 and being a masters I decided it was time to put some work in and start to train a bit. With the pandemic time management has been a bit easier with a work from home schedule. 

A couple race reports to share.

Galveston Daily Press Run 10K - Results

I signed up for this race to use as a Coral A course certificate qualifier for the Aramco Half Marathon with hopes of pacing Sarah. 



The course is used for a few different series, but I have never done any of the bridge runs. I did a few workouts leading up to the 10k that included hill repeats to help simulate the anticipated grind up and down the bridge.  I felt like 6:30 pace would be pretty close to my ability and a HR between 174-178 would be a good range. I ended up with an avg. 6:19 pace and HR of 181. Good day for 2nd overall.

Midnight Moonlight Ramble

Over the weekend Bike Houston put on a great event, the Midnight Moonlight Ramble . I had the pleasure of riding the 20 mile route with some good friends. The ride starts and finishes at the George R. Brown Convention Center and takes you through the Galleria area and down Memorial and Allen parkway for a scenic tour of Houston. By the way, the ride starts at 2 AM with the festivities beginning at midnight. The ride is for everybody, Hard Core Roadies, Nob heads, sub-culture messengers and families with tow-alongs. Pics of Team Moose . Thanks to Dakine for the Moose head!
