Had a pretty good week of training last week. The post-marathon massage I had on Sunday helped immensely and luckily the twisted knee also cleared up pretty quickly. The massage therapist also brought up an interesting question: do I take any joint supplements, such as glucosamine? I hadn't really thought about it but I'm not getting any younger and I am indeed putting a pretty good pounding on my body so there was no harm in at least investigating the idea. I found these at Costco. They were also on sale, only $12, and that covers a bit more than 6 months.
The event this week is an Olympic tri. That's a 1500 meters swim (.9 miles); a 40 km bike (24.6 miles); and a 10 km run (6.2 miles). My goal for these is to break 3 hours. Might be tough as the course is pretty hilly and the event starts at 10:00 am, which could mean some heat.
Race report coming on Saturday!
