I LOVE running 🏃🏻!! I LOVE beer 🍺!! And I LOVE football 🏈!! So you would think 🤔 that I would love a 5k road race on Super Bowl Sunday at a bar that offers “1 free beer 🍺 “ to every entrant over 21. Truth is, I didn’t enjoy this race. I came here in great shape thinking I would run a great time. I started out at a sensible pace but couldn’t get into a “race gear”. I had a STRONG week of training coming into this. Perhaps too strong, as I felt flat here. I doubt I will do this race again, it was mostly a reaction to getting closed out of the Paddy Kelly last week. No worries bring on week two of my IMLP training!! I know I’m in great shape for February. I’m excited to continue IMLP training! I know 2024 is going to be amazing. I know that a 5k run now has NO bearing on an Ironman in July, so I’m happy that I hung in there and made it a strong workout 👍🏻 And interestingly, the Barrell Z brewery in Weymouth MA strongly resembles the dining facilities in Kuwait/ Iraq/Afghanistan with the tent awning. Of course I was never offered 6.7% alcohol content IPA beers 🍻 in those other countries! Time to focus on triathlon training! Great things to come At Hyannis,Patriot, and IMLP! 🏊🏻‍♂️ 🚴 🏃🏻
