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.

Had to really struggle through 9 minute pace yesterday, and had a sneaking suspicion that I needed time off.  Took today off, as expected.  got out the door and took about 20 painful steps, and called it off.  went on a 40 minute moderate bike ride - about 9.5 miles.  Long Run tomorrow :)

AM: Long Run with 15mi. AT / Aerobic Builder + 1 mi. LT practicing for fast finish.  Day off paid off - a little sore in the left groin / hip, but felt energetic and able to attack some of the climbs of this run.  

Kept it right around 6:45 - 7:00 for the AT miles, and felt comfortable most of the way.  Pace consistency on this hilly course is thrown out the door.  Gave myself a mile recovery after that and tried to hammer a mile.  6:10 was a LT effort to be sure.  

19.3 mi. total - 2:15:36
