Lunch: 8.5 miles, averaged 10:11. HR 160.
Rough run. It was about 86 to start and around 89-90 to finish. Not too muggy, but I though I would have to walk a couple miles. I stopped for water at the park and just bulled through. Even with a very easy pace it was very hard (about marathon effort).
PM: 37.2-mile ride. HR 168.
Thursday Night Dirt. Very hard effort in the 90-degree heat. I was just going to ride easy, but I chased the lead group who was riding somewhat fast but not hammering. It was basically 50k race effort for me but in 90 degree heat. We slowed down in places to collect people and I slowed up to make sure one of the ladies had someone to ride with and knew where to go. Lost a lot of water weight on this one. Nice to back on the bike after about 10 days off.
It's going to be very warm and muggy the next two days. I will likely be inside for most of it.
