Did the Florida Challenge 1/2 Ironman Distance Triathlon.  The swim went really good.  I actually came in before the middle of the pack for once.  The bike was really long and there were some steep hills.  It was actually 61 mi instead of 56 like it was supose to be.  The run was extremely hot, the heat index was around 100.  I had to keep pouring water on me at every stop which made my shoes sloshy and my feet felt cramped in my shoes.  I'm going to try to put more miles on my Nike Free's to see if I can wear those in the full iron distance tri in October.  My run pace was very slow, but I didn't walk much and picked up the pace the last couple of miles.  I did a 1/2 ironman in the summer in Macon and walked about 1/3 of the run.  My time was pretty much the same in both races though, so the Macon course was probably a little short, or the Clermont course was a little long, or maybe a little of both.

Did a little biking, running, and swimming today.  Biked about 75min, ran 25min, and swam 2000yds.

I'm starting to feel less sore, but I've been really tired the past few days.  I've had to take naps and I've been extremely drowsey in class.  Hopefully I recover soon, because starting Thursday through Sun, I have many miles to cover in swimming, biking, and running.

Ran trails with Trigator group.  Don't know pace, just went by time.  The pace was probably around 8min/mi which is what we usually run.

Woke up early to get in long run.  Ran through campus to the Hawthorne trail.  Carried two 8oz water bottles of cytomax and 1 bag gu chomps.  Refilled water twice at trailhead.  Wore Zensah calf compression sleeves, toe socks, and nike frees to test out for ironman.  My pace was at 9:39/mi for run average. 

I felt great for the run.  Legs didn't hurt at all and feet felt comfortable.  Found a good combination for footwear.  The zoots are too narrow after long bike ride with swollen feet and back is too high which rubbed my ankle above the sockline and the bandaids on my toes didn't work to prevent blisters and took too long to put on during my half ironman.  Nike frees will work, my feet are getting use to the increased flexibility and my forefoot has pleanty of room.  The compression sleeves are impressive at preventing muscle soreness.  Had muscle milk after the run as well and no soreness next day either.

3km lake swim in the morning with a bike commute of about 7mi each way

Ran around 11:30am, very hot.  Pace was slow, about 9:10/mi.   Only issue was chafing of preexisting rash from long run on Thursday.
