Fuel It Right

2:49:00 ap 14.6mph

Started from home and went South to Hobble Creek canyon and back.  Wanted to do a mostly flat ride.  There was some up hill and rollers of course.  I was pretty tired by the end.  Had plenty of water but needed to bring more food.  Something to plan for on the next ride.

Thought I'd do and afternoon run in the sun since I need to get used to running in the heat.  I was listening to a podcast that I thought was from earlier this morning that had a weather forecast of mid 70's.  I thought it felt much warmer but I went with it.  I was so drained! Got home and checked the weather.  It was 90 degrees out! No wonder I didn't feel peppy.  Checked the podcast and it was from last week.  Head Trip!  At least I had an excuse for cutting it short 2 miles.

Mary and I met Josse, Rebecca and  Desiree at the track for some speed work.  Mary, Desiree and I did 400's, Josse and Rebecca did 800's.  My legs aren't very privy to the fast life, but they pulled out 2 more laps than they thought they could. 2 fast miles, 4.5 slow miles.

1:39, 1:47, 1:45, 1:43, 1:45, 1:46, 1:46, 1:47

Went out around the lake for a little 100 mile ride. 14.3 ap.  The headwind slowed me down a lot.  Wasn't the original plan and 50 miles of intense head wind had me wanting to stop several times. It was pretty frustrating but didn't want anyone to drive 80 miles to get me so I pretty much had to finish.  Plus my longest ride ever is 40 miles.  Don't know what I was thinking.  Once we turned off that northbound road it was tons better though.  If there is a headwind like that for the ride on the tri it's gonna suck!

Thank you, body, for feeling relatively good today and allowing me to add on an extra mile.  I will reward you with protien and lots of fuits and veges!

AP 9:15

Mary and I drove down to the lake.  We were going to go south around the hobbler course because of the smoke but it had cleared up so we decided we didn't want to drive out there.  The first 6 were between 9:07 and 9:25. Did a 2 mile tempo as I was told to do by Coach, 7:52, 7:43(Shoot, Bob, that's tuff) slow revocery mile and finished between 9:24 and 9:40 miles.  Legs are more sore today from my ab ripper X I did yesterday than from the 100 miler I did on Tuesday!

Ate a little bit and did 1200 meters at the pool.  After 800 I was tired.  After 1200 I felt like I could go another 400.  The hot tub was calling me though.
