Gear For Multisport

A week back, I went back to Alafia for the Florida Challenge Trail Run.  Things started out ok but I soon realized I was way out of my league running in a group of six guys way out in lactate land in the front of the race.  The first 3.5 is very technical & at the end of the section I had realized I had blown up.  I started damage control at about mile 6 and realized I needed to slow way down. My buddy Tim Johnson passed me about mile 8 & made me feel like I standing still.  Tim ended winning the Masters title & my wife Kimberly placed 3rd overall (women).

Learned a bunch about my fitness level that day.  This next weekend I have a 50k coming up on the Green Swamp Trails out in Dade City.  I am curious to how intense these trails are.  If they are anything like Alafia, I may have to rethink some strategy.  I will keep you posted.

BTW…here is Gavin on my dream toy growing up..The Green Machine.  Notice the foam block on the seat & the legos on the pedals.
