Timberman & more

Lost cell contact on Friday so this is a catchup to today now on the way home currently thru Connecticut.
On Friday visited historic Fort Constitution (sight of Paul Revere's first ride and the colonies first victory) and Fort Stark. Saw 4 lighthouses , one sitting on a rock at the entrance to the bay. Also saw a draw bridge in operation, then later drove over the bridge and up the Maine coast a ways and went for a swim in the Atlantic.
Saturday I biked the back half of the course, had a great salmon lunch with grilled potatoes. We went and checked in the bike and went for a swim.
Woke up early Saturday morning and took the shuttle to the beach. The weather was perfect slighly overcast and I never really noticed the humidity. The old men were in the second wave just after the pros. The course had huge buoys that made for ez sighting. I swam 31 minutes for 1.25miles/1900mtr, quick transition and onto the bike for a 2:52 for 56miles/90km, transitioned for the run and actually ran the entire 13.1miles/21km, in 2:20. I guess the x-contry ride gave me the base to have a good run- now all I need to do is actually train for the run. Total time 5:50. I am very happy with that time.
It started to rain as we got back on the shuttle and then rained all night. This morning we packed up quick and got on our way. Bear lake Olympic on Saturday, home on Sunday. Heigh ho, heigh ho it's home to work we go:)
