20 mile bike ride. I got a flat with 3 miles to go!! I hate flats. I hope I don't get a flat on race day. That could really screw things up. I'm going to race with fresh tubes and tires.

10 mile run. I started late and paid the price. Man was it hot. Amazingly enough I felt pretty fast.

My wife raced the Bryce Canyon Half last Saturday in 1:47. She's gotten the exact same time the three times she's raced it. She was pretty happy. I hear Logan kicked but. Man that sucker is getting fast. I remember when I was within a couple minutes of him, about 3 years ago. He'd kick my trash now.

Did a 46 minutes swim.

50 mile bike ride this morning. No problems at all to report of. I caught a taranchula on my ride this morning. I brought it home and showed my wife and kids. My wife wasn't as thrilled as the kids. It was still alive. It's one big spider. I think I'm going to make a paper weight out of it.

30 mile bike ride, without incident. A good ride. My new tires came today!! They're supposedly puncture proof. I'll put them on about a week before the race, just to make sure they're going to do the job.

30 minute swim. The water is soooo warm here. 80 plus degrees. I hear the water at Utah lake is pretty warm as well. I'm assuming I won't need a wet suit.

An early 5:00 am run this morning. 13 miles. It was dark, windy, raining and still hot!!! I got up and looked at the weather and just about went back to bed. I gave my wife the option of running first but she declined being the birthday girl of 30 and all.

I'm glad I got out. It ended up being a good run and now I won't feel guilty all day at work today.
