Storms Down Trees

Various roads are blocked by downed trees due to earlier thunderstorms. Ijamsville Rd. and Boyers Mill Rd. are probably clear by now, but watch out your path may be blocked this afternoon!

The Long Overdue Triathlon Post

This year, I decided to try to achieve the goal of competing in a triathlon. After searching for regional events, I targeted the Hagerstown Sprint which is a 300m swim, followed by an 11 mile bike, then a 5k run.

The pool - I hadn't done laps since swim team in high school. My breathing routine was so rusty at first.

The bike - I had to get my bike tuned up, and the training in my neighborhood is much tougher than the 11 mile course.

The run - I have jello legs after biking, so I know the 5K will be super tough!
