| Its super hot today (about 100) and sunny - UV must have been about 10, because I burned in the hour I was out today. Slow 2.8 mi. - 27:40, over to Terrace Lake for open water swim - ~300m out to dock and back. The water felt great in the rather oppressive heat, but I was a little timid. The only real significant open water swimming I had done was at Lake Cumberland (after more than a few Bud Lights :)
I've signed for my first tri - Its a week and half from now, so I figured I'd better get some open water swimming experience! :) I was exhausted after 8 minutes, partially because my adrenaline was pumping from all the snake holes I saw walking up to the water :( but mostly because I am a horrible swimmer - no freestyle breathing pattern for me, all head above water :) Anyway, after I got my shoes back on and caught my breath, a slow 2.8 mi. back to the house - 24:20, and then another 2.4 mi. with the dog after some much needed hydration - 21:51

Starting to love this work schedule - being off on Friday's - AM LSD: Grandview Lake and Back - this is my new favorite course - it goes out 6 miles on low volume CR's to a lake community. Its fairly hilly, but good scenery. Anyway, really slow today, but got the mileage in. I really started struggling near the end. I think totally due to dehydration. The tank hit empty at about 14...and had to make a bathroom stop in the woods around the lake - zero poison ivy to report :)
18 mi. - 2:38:31 PM: 2 mi. easy after dinner w/ dog -- night run :)

| AM: 4 mi. bike over to Tipton Marinato meet Nathan (Freyguy), 24 mile bike ride with Natedawg :). Took a nice ride around the Grandview Lake, Tipton Olympic Dist. Triathlon Course. He is very graciously letting me borrow his super fast and light racing bike for the Sprint Triathlon next weekend. Got to kind of test it out today for a couple miles. Looking forward to riding this this week and in the race next Saturday. Good XT workout and nice ride! PM: New shoes - Brooks Ghost 4 at Dick's store in Greenwood. Silly to spend an extra 20 dollars on Ghost 5 when my size and fit in Ghost 4 is sitting rt. next to them. 8mi. - 2 mi. easy w/ dog - 17:38,some light core and leg work after dropping the dog off,
3 mi. buildup threshold run (6:15, 6:03, 5:55), 1 mi. rec. jog, 3x0.25mi. strides (78, 82, 74), 1 mi CD
