AM: Long Run afterthe storms blew thru - still 70 degrees and light drizzle when started. 10am: house to start of Tipton Sprint Tri bike course to run the rerouted alternate course. The county has decided to chip/seal the roads on the bike route the last 2 years right beforeth race. Very hilly and lots of blind cirves/ hills, but pretty course. turned in to a harder effort near the end of the run to get down around 7 minute range. Up hill efforts on some of the climbs were pretty tough with severe grades. 20 miles total - about 7:30 pace average, but different levels of effort with the hilly terrain - 2:33:44. Carried a gel and and a water bottle with gatorade mix - I need to practice this mundane detail - for some reason, the nutrition part has really started playing havoc with my runs.
PM: 22 miles bike - tour of triathlon bike course on the bike with Matt, Nathan, Nathan's bro Aaron. Fun ride - got rained a little bit, but got the whole course in and trip from house back to house from start line.
