Total Distance
10.20

64.5 mile ride up around the Gunlock/ Veyo loop. Temp started at 81F when I left the house at 3:50 a.m. It was hot and humid. Legs felt sluggish too. But the ride turned out pretty fast as I hit a 21.4 mph avg with very little drafting. Must have had good air or something today. But I pushed it hard too and got home with no drink left... I'd ran out up by Winchester Hills and was needing some hydration. 

10.2 mile run-Waited about 45 min's for Mik'L to finish her run and then I took off on mine. Regular old DC loop.  Legs felt super heavy and hip was naggy but by mile 5 I had a good flow going. Just dripping with sweat the entire run. Forgot to get on the scale but I'm sure I was low due to dehydration. This was a tough morning on the ol' body.

You are an animal. The way that you ride,run, recover and do it all over again day after day is amazing.

Ha.. you spoke a little too soon as this morning I bonked HARD. Must not have fully hydrated or something. You call it an animal, my wife call is stupid, and my neighbor says I'm a glutton for punishment. To each his own I guess.
