Mid October.

Blog. Mid October.  I volunteered for the event Revolution 3 triathlon in Anderson, SC on October 12. Both long course (70.3) and Olympic distance races. I signed up for run aid station number 2 near downtown ( 9 am to 1 pm) but when I got to check in, I said if they wanted me somewhere more in need I would be open. So they put me near the start of the run to direct them at a turn. Seemed unnecessary. I was alone and would rather have been with one or two others.  My ankle is better, but still taking it easy. Other ankle has been hurting too ( which it used to do).  My cold. Maybe 98% over it. Hope it is not just dormant and will come back.  Training level is only 1 to 3 hours per week. This is largely in part to my ankle, but also a lack of a next event.  Have gotten back to swimming at the Y. This is my "weak" sport.   So while my ankle is bad maybe I can regain swim fitness. Would like to get back to previous high level of fitness there. A breakthrough would be nice.   New shoes. New type. Altra brand running shoes with zero lift or drop. I got the Instinct 1.5 model. Got them 40% off. Big toe box. Should be interesting to see how it affects my feet, ankles and so on. Was strongly considering a pair of Hokas, but never got around to it.
