I started my ride at 3 am. It ended up being one of my best rides. I did 70 miles with 3500 feet elevation gain and averaged 17.9 mph. That's really good for me.
Then I transitioned to running. I was trying to keep it easy but was moving right around 8:00 miles for the first 10 miles which was too fast because then the wheels slowly started to come off for the next 6 miles at which point I completely blew up and had to start walking. I called Doone and continued walking until she picked me up right before mile 18.
Looks like I still have a lot of work to do before the Ironman in 6 weeks.
