A good week on vacation for me, ending with one of my favorite races, the 1812 Challenge (18.12 miles). I'll type up a race report later, but had a great finish (11 overall, 3rd in division) first time I've placed in this large of an event - ~351 finishers in the 18 miler according to the current stats, ~750 registered for both the 18.12 and half marathon.
So my week's snapshot is 27.7 miles running, 18.7 cycling, 19.9 hiking. All barefoot like usual.
Now I continue training towards the October marathon, but got to say the 18.12 kicked my butt I'll need a good week of recovery. I'm having a bit of difficulty with stairs and things today. Also I unfortunately got a blister for the first time in years, on the tip of my center toe. The surface was a bit rougher than usual and I must have been griping with the toes a bit too much in my hard race effort.
