Racing this Weekend

We'll be back in action this weekend at the Westchester Triathlon in Rye, NY.  This is a local race for us and I think the 4th time I've done it.  I'm looking forward to the race as a training day, since I will be training through this race.  It will also be fun to race with friends & training partners.  Best of all, the SuperFans are going to be there!!  

After today's workout, I feel like my running is back to 100%.  Thanks to the Alter G treadmill, I didn't miss out on any important workouts, even though my calf was still recovering from the Muskoka hills all week.  And, thanks to Dr. Ness in New Paltz and Rod's PT (Carolyn at Fusion) in NYC, my legs feel great and I was able to run as hard I could today.  Phew.  

As I mentioned before, it is Fall here.  Along with fall comes falling leaves and apples AND active squirrels.  The squirrels are everywhere collecting acorns and leaving the shells all over the roads (making road surfaces a little more challenging for cyclists!).  They are also really determined to get their acorns and will risk their lives to dart across the street in front of oncoming bikes.  

Our apple supply is dwindling, just in time for the next round of picking from our shared tree.  Today I made 2 crisps and a cake.  Thanks to that apple peeler I got for the wedding last year, it took no time.
