Hi everyone sorry for not posting sooner. Aigel the last time I ran anywhere other than to the bathroom has been yeeeeeeaaaarrrrrssss.
Just a little update. Last week after posting I started my work out. I ran a little, biked a little and did some P90X. P90X has a stretching program so I do that every day before starting my work out. My runs have been slow practicing proper stride and breathing. I have been gradually increasing my distance. Same with the bike ride. A nice brisk pace working on breathing and stamina. I mix a P90X core work out in every other day.
So far I feel pretty good. I have lost 3.5 lbs so far.
The first few days I started I used the running/bike path near my house. Over the weekend we went back home and I trained on the course. Here are a few shots.
The race more or less starts and ends at the bottom of this ramp in front of the white building to the right. This is the North Wildwood Beach Patrol first aid building. The swim takes place just over the dune to the right out of view. The bike race starts here as well. Probably in the parking lot to the left. It goes straight down the street in the distance to the end and then turns left to a larger street. The run takes place on the beach to the right and the boardwalk behind me.
The swim
Central Avenue the majority of the bike race is on this street It is roughly 2.5 miles end to end. My house is just out of view behind the tree to the right.
The run goes past the roller coaster about a half mile to a second amusement pier. It's hard to see but the smaller of the two towers to the right of the roller coaster is a fifteen story Ferris wheel. That is on the other pier. From there we cross the beach run through the pier and back down the boardwalk to the beach tent.
