May Week 1 - New Shoes and 50 Mile Bike Ride Followed by 10 Mile Run

This Week’s Activity and Events:

This week we try out some new shoes and talk about our goals for finishing times in this year’s Honolulu Marathon (our 2nd one ever) in December.

Jay and his friends Mike and Ed ramp up their training for the Honu Half-Ironman in Kona, HI (IRONMAN 70.3) by doing a 2000m swim Saturday and then a 50 mile bike ride followed by a hot and humid 10 miles run right afterward. Got to enjoy some Diamond Head outlook scenery along the way.

BTW, I did finish the 10 mile run and recovered well once I got some fluids in me. Learned that I need to carry even more nutrition on me and hydrate even more while on the bike so that I don’t faceplant during the hot and humid run portion.
