We made it up to Whitewater, WI for a few days this week. I was able to do some good riding, and running, but amazingly no swimming even though we were on a lake! We were staying with Tobi's folks, www.grantviewstudio.com and we had a great time. Kids love going up to Nana Barb's and Grantpop's. We had some good Wisconsin brats with farm fresh veggies!! It was great.
The riding was the highlight of the week. I did a 6 hour ride through the rolling hills of Wisconsin farm country. This course I was riding was similar to the IMWI bike course, lots of rollers. I ended up hitting 120 miles, and got the kJ's to 5000!!!
The following morning, I went for my long run. Needless to say, it took about 30 minutes to feel sort of good on the run. Again, running through the rollers in the farmland. I got in 21.5 miles, with a solid 2 hours at 6:30-45 pace. Seems like I got stronger as the run progressed, not necessarily a whole lot faster, but felt stronger up the hills.
So, today, I'm doing my recovery stuff, jogger runs and maybe a easy swim. Build phase begins on Monday.......I think that means 12 weeks until Kona! All for now.

The next time that you're cycling in Wisconsin, be sure to extend the ride into Mukwonago--right snack in the middle of Kettle Moraine rolling hills. You were in Palmyra---10 miles further east & you'd be at our home!
