10.2 mile Reg ol DC loop. Didn't know if anyone would show. They didn't. So it was just a solo loop in the darkness of the moring. Saw some deer by the restrooms at the DC. Had to "go" bad but the doors were all locked. What's the use of a restroom if the doors are always locked. FML. Pushed on up the trail like a pioneer  until I found a porta potty at a construction site. But then even after the stop I still had some stomach issues. Glad today was just EZ and recovery. Hoping to get on the Venge later today:).

40.6 mile bike ride. 20.7 mph avg. Out around the airport into Washington fields back down the river trail and then on to Sunriver. Around the southern parkway and a small tour of LV. Kept it uptempo most the ride. Not sure how my legs will handle any hard miles tomorrow after this. It felt windy here and there and I was working way too hard for the speed I was going. I know one thing and that's my legs are not in the riding shape they were in last summer.

6.5 mile run right off the bike. Headed out and the legs felt sloppy and slow. Hit the first mile in 7:01. I thought it would be like 9:00. Hit the next few at 6:20 and finished the run at a 6:32 avg. Not too bad considering the work on the bike. Think I'm ready for some food...

That's a huge day. You've become an absolute endurance machine! PHX is going to be scary fast for you.

Thanks Riley! I'm just hoping at PHX to finish before you've gone back to the hotel and showered.

Haha, with my not-exactly-stellar track record in the marathon I'd say you're going to be just as much of a threat as I will be! I certainly am not counting you out!
