64.4 mile ride up around Gunlock and Veyo. Started with Bob and I then we picked up Stacy. The three of us road up to basically Veyo together then Bob fell off and Stacy and I took it down to the Snow Canyon entrance. Then he turned and I kept on back home. Felt strong at times and super weak in others. Road the tri bike today again as my days with the BMC are basically over. My tri bike only holds one water bottle and that just wont cut it with these temps. So I busted out a new hydration pack that I won more than a year ago in some race. It's a UltrAspire pack and seemed to work pretty good all things considered. Still felt bulky and hot but did help provide the much needed H2O. Not sure what I'm gonna do to remedy my bikeless situation as I really don't want to buy a road bike. Ended the loop at a 21 mph avg- a PR on that beast of a track.

  11 mile run shortly after the ride. Hit the treadmill for .8 while I waited for Mik'L to get home then hit the 10.2 mile DC loop. No watch but pace was pretty honest. Even though I didn't get out running until around 8 am the temps didn't seem too bad where it did feel really muggy out on the bike.

54 mile ride everywhere this morning. Out through the fields to start then back down to Sun River via Tonoquent, back and forth up the river trail and then back home. Had nothing in the legs so took it EZish most of the ride but did hammer a couple sections to try and get a KOM on Strava. 

8 mile run after. Mik'L stayed indoors for her workout so after feeding the chickens I was able to get right out to run. Temps were down to 68 F. The coolest morning in about 15 days. Felt good. I wish I would have felt more lively so I could have gone longer to take advantage of it. But I was super low on fuel and spent.

Ran here with the Circle of Trust. Did a few before and a few after and the DC loop with them. Hip was so so but overall legs were just gone... zero flow in the roll today. Still nice to get out with the guys. Another decent morning too at 71 F.

53.4 mile ride around a weird track. Started out heading up through Green Valley and into Ivans. It was so bloody hot I could barely ride. 89F when I left the house at 3:50 a.m. Plus there was a choppy breeze that felt like a blow dryer in my face. So the first 20 miles were hellishly slow. I wanted to get off and hitch hike home, but there wasn't anyone out to ride with. Ended with a 19.5 mph avg. Road Luke's Look bike and it didn't help the speed either. 

10.2 mile run around the DC after the ride. Got er done.

38.4 mile ride. Cooler but very very humid today. I sweat my butt off and then some. I road the Look again today to see if it was just yesterday that was slow... still the same. I just can't get going on that thing. It's a size or so big and set up way off my mark. Oh well it was worth a shot but I still need a bike. 19.8 mph avg. 

7 mile run after. Overcast kept it nice and I love the smell of fresh rain. Looking forward to only running tomorrow.

No real running. I did test ride my new bike down in Yorda Linda, Ca for 1.1 miles. Left the house at 3:30 a.m and drove to San Luis Obispo with a buddy to pick up his new Escalade then we both drove down to LA area to pick up my new bike. And the headed back to STG. We didn't clock it on his car but google maps says it's a journey of 1,125 miles. We got home at 11:58 p.m. This was the biggest car travel day of my life.
