Pleasant Prairie Tri

 Very painful but fun race at Pleasant Prairie on Sunday. My heel/plantar fascia has been really messed up since duathlon nationals and it kills to run! Need to take an extended break from running. 

Duathlon Nationals, Omaha NE

Successful Duathlon Nationals in Omaha. Very hot and hilly race, with temps hitting 90 degrees on the bike. Went out way too hard, trying to stay with Paul Greenberg, then cramped up on the bike. But somehow despite the cramps, I didn't lose too much time on the ride. At the top of every hill (and there were a lot), my calves seized up. But in the last few miles of the bike, the cramps subsided. Then the 5K felt ok. Go figure! The most fun part was hanging with Paul and Jim Vernon and dinner afterward at "Modern Love" at vegan restaurant.  We sat and talked for almost 3 hours!
