Sand Hollow Reservoir swim with tri-club.  Water was choppy from the wind, but good training. I was under 29 minutes.  Then we biked for 19 miles in the wind.  Average speed was 18.9 mph.  It felt like we had a head wind in every direction!!!

WOW... my quads are still sore, but not enough to stop me from running. I ran for 4:30 min and walked for 0:30. I did 45 minutes of upper body.  My ride stood me up, so I had to walk home. Now my legs are tired!

Drove Cathy's car up to Pioneer park so she could run to her boot camp. I then ran home. This was mostly downhill and painful. Mile 5 I did a few fartleks which made my legs feel heavy. Mile 6 & 7 I picked up the pace and this time I didn't have heavy legs. Good run over-all!!

Rode bike for 75 miles with Cathy, mike, mike, mica, and others. We did the Gunlock loop. We took it fairly easy. I did the wall twice for good measure!! Ran into many friends along the way, and at mile 50 when we were finishing up our ride, I ran into the triclub and joined them for my last 25 miles. While cruising down a good hill, my back tire made a 12 inch split right down the center. I heard it rip but didn't bother to find out what had happened!!  I was very lucky the tube didn't pop. I rode another 12 miles before I noticed the damage. Again, very fortunate that I had a head wind and uphill at the end to keep me slower than normal.

I did a transition to run right when I arrived home.  I did 5 miles just below a 8:00 pace.  Felt very good... then I ate a hamburger and fry at 5 Guys.... Totally Awesome!!!
