Run, Bike, Run

After two surgeries this year (First one a left  knee scope with repair and the second the end of May removing a neuroma in my left foot) I have done what every fat man would think of doing, competing in a duathlon. When I had my first surgery & laying on the couch recovering,  I started looking for a fittness  goal. Then I found it, a true sign if I had ever seen it, a run that is collecting food for the Ronald McDonald House. Just in case you are wondering it’s not MY house, but a charity that provides a place for families and children to stay while receiving treatment at hospitals such as Seattle’s Childrens Hospital.

The event that I have chosen is the 3rd Annual Lake Easton Duathlon put on by AdventureWorks, LLC. It will be a 2 mile trail run followed by a 8 mile mountain bike ride then finishing up with another 2 mile run. I’m going to have my work cut out for me. I currently run 5-6 days a week and try to throw in a couple of bike rides on top of it.  You can follow my training on Training Peaks , Go Wagon as user themickeyd and on my twitter account “recumbent_clyde”.
