3PM Series Race on the other side of town.  Too much craft beer last night.  Hot and sunny as I left the house on the bicycle.  about 8-9 miles to the race.  The bike wound up being a good choice for doubling as WU and dealing with a serious hangover.  Jogged around for alittle bit and start the race.  Hang back a little bit and let myself work in to an LT effort without puking.  Led from about half mile on . 

5:45, 6:02, 6:09, :31.  Red Lining in the heat and felt awful the whole way.

Lunch Time Run - Hot!  4.92 miles - 40:15.  Craaziness at work

PM run after kids in bed - planned on Strava segments, but, something I'm eating is not digesting very well and I'm just bloated and exhausted as soon as I start runs in this heat.  SR 11 to Mill Race Park, down SR 46 to Carr Hill.

AM Long Run: Its hot and humid and apparently I am depleted and somewhat dehydrated.  I start the run with a side stitch.  Work through that after about 30 minutes of sipping on water from the handheld.  Slooow going today.  I feel like I ahve stepped off the plane from sea level and tried to run a long run at about 10000 feet.  Take a tour of the close by nice neighborhood in and out of a bunch of cul desacs to distract myself.  I ate 3 gels, also !  The weight looks good  :)
