I REGISTERED FOR A RACE!

BIKE 1:20 and about 19 miles, 3x TGP
COMMUTE 9.2 miles

My garmin died during the ride, the only info I have is that the 2nd loop was 16:57. The Black Screen of Low Battery death interfered with my lap button hits.

Today the Russian guy in the next lab asked about the ultras I run. Last Friday as I was biking out he asked me about what I do. Today he said something like "all that running, you'll have a heart attack". Oh buddy....

I decided over the weekend to sign up for Dark2Dawn, the 6 hour race I've wanted to do for years. I'm certain I can run, jog, walk for 6 hours.

I'm also eyeballing Badger 100K in August. A 33 hour cut-off means I can WALK and finish on time. That one I've leaked to family and friends. My sis was questioning my readiness for a 100K, I pointed out it was really 50k+50k, and she called me a 'typical triathlete'. TH asked if I was thinking rationally. LOL.

Now the bigger news so far being kept secret is that I'm aiming to run Kansas R2T again. Yes, the 100 miler. It's Oct 26th, it'll be my birthday race. And a full circle for me. It was my last major race, since then the hip and heart injuries. I need to get back on track, I need to find myself again.

The Balrog and Monster pretty much live with me. I need to kick them out. They are dear to me, but dangerously so.

My leg still hurts, I'll update after I see Dr L tomorrow.
