Clyde's Comeback!

52.3 mile ride early out to the airport then out to the end of Quail road and back. It was hot and I struggled all morning to keep the peddle pushing up. 21.5 mph avg but it felt like I was working for a 25 mph avg. Ran out of fluid too early and what drink I did bring was too warm within the first half hour. Today was hard. 

8.1 mile run around the big B-hills loop. It's been a long time since I ran this loop. A couple years ago I use to run the sucker twice a day but for some reason just never go this route. Was between 84-87 F out in full sun during the run. I was in "push on through" mode. But other than dehydration and fatigue my hip and running felt pretty good.  Time was just under an hour something like 7:10 pace or so.

47.7 mile ride with Bob out on Southern parkway into SunRiver then up around Snow Canyon and home. Took it a little easier today but felt much better. Temps were between 10-15 degrees cooler so it was much easier. Ended with a 21.1 mph avg. 

8.1 mile run after. With temps cooler this run was soo much nicer than yesterday. No dehydration= feeling pretty good. 

A little before then the DC run with the Circle of Trust and Billy the kid. Felt warmer this morning and that seemed to shut my body down. This whole run seemed hard. No energy at all. Plus the hip hurt. I had planned on doing 2-4 more but once we got back to my house I was done. Then I even thought about doing some time on elliptical but after feeding the baby I felt like a bloated, stiff dead body floating down an icy river. Yeah that bad.

Slept in and that cost me the time to get in the miles on the bike. So I used the time left and bust it out to the airport and back. 22.3 mph avg. Pretty aggressive ride even though it was shorter.

8.3 mile run about 20 min's after the ride. Legs felt heavy and slow. Hip was semi achy but good enough to run. It was hot. 

80.9 mile ride this morning. Started at 4:30 a.m and went out and back to the airport 3 times and on the third loop I went out by Sunriver and the river trail to River road then back around the park to home. 21.8 mph avg. 2,936 ft of climbing. Not a super hard course but lots of rollers throughout the entire ride. This was my longest ride today. Pretty solid effort to be over 21 mph on a solo effort. My butt got really sore and so did my shoulder on the left side... cramped big time in the last 10 miles. 

Had planned on running at least 4.1 miles too but just didn't... and as the day rolls on it sounds hard... I'm pretty tired overall now. 

Long run with the Circle of Trust from Logan's driveway. Rolled through Ivins, Santa Clara and Green Valley. Did my first real tempo run since the marathon last October. 5 miles in 5:46, 5:34, 5:40, 5:55, 6:17. I kind of checked out on the last mile. I was only planning on doing the 4 miles then the guys kept going so I  semi tried to push the last mile out. Hip started to hurt on this mile but prior it had felt pretty good on the run. Not bad though. I'll take it as a place to start and hopefully get something long and temp filled every Saturday... unless traveling or other crap.... like next week. 7:03 avg for the entire run. 

Ended the week with 205 biking miles and 57 running. Goal is 200 and 60 for the rest of the summer.
