Last year, Melissa and I decided to try the Mooseman half iron bike course on a very hot day around noon--this was not a good idea! We did get close to conquering Halsbrook Hill (Groton Pumping Station hill), but had to stop and walk right near the top of the hill. We vowed to complete the ride in 2011.
This past Friday, Melissa and I did this same ride, but we took on even more as we created the Melissa & Laura fun triathlon. We started out with a 30 minute open water swim in Newfound Lake, completed the 35 mile bike course (including the giant hill!!!), and finished with a 30 minute jog. It was a leisurely triathlon, but the bike course was very challenging! And now we have completed our summer challenge (see photos above at the peak of the hill).
The rest of the week was a busy week in training as Sean continued to add volume and intensity to my workouts in preparation for Pumpkinman! I can't believe I will be doing a half ironman in September!!!
