Long run down the marathon course with Steve, Logan and Aaron. Left from the park and drove up the course 16.5 miles. Ran down to the finish line then extended around DSC and cemetery back to the park. This was another hard run for Superfly. Ankle was again super sore. Couldn't get going and or loosen up. The downhill just jams that ankle which in turn effects the rest of my stride. Quads were pretty sore by the time we got to Bluff st. But I actually felt the best on the miles though town where it's much flatter. It became evident that I'm gearing up for possibly my worst marathon finish ever- plus most painful. Ugh! I just want it to be over and in my rear view! 1.4 mile swim at Quail lake in around 50 min's this afternoon. Took the boat and family out- even the dogs and they played while I swam. I love the dogs but that was the last time they get to come... at least Ears the big one. 21.7 mile bike ride this evening. Had a bunch of new bike gear that I was dieing to try out so I somehow found motivation to get out and ride. Actually started really slow but would have ended around a 21 mph if... I wouldn't have crashed. Yep I had my first bike wreck in the Tri era. Not too nasty but enough to chip up some new $200 shoes and cut me up in 3 places. The sad part was I did it by the new pavilion by the DC and about 12 people watched it live. I just laid there in the rocks and some dude said "are you ok". I said yes then didn't look at anyone and hammered it out of there.
