Rhett

As I was backing out of the garage this morning, I wasn't paying attention and I clipped my sideview mirror and dinged it up pretty good.  That was not a great start to my week.  Hopefully things will just get better and better as the week goes on.  It is race week!

I swam well for 30 minutes averaging a faster pace than normal and feeling realy good.  Then I did an easy 3 mile run along the lake and channel.  I had a little tightness in my left glut and calf but is seemed to work itself out.  

I sat in the hot tub for 30 minutes tonight while I watched the Astros game.. It felt nice.  My left calf felt off for most of the day.  Nothing bad, just off.

Morning...20 minute, 8 mile Zift ride followed by some stretching, then 25 minutes in the hot tub.  Left calf still feels a bit off.  

30 minute Zwift ride with Blake, about 12 miles then sat in the hot tub for about 25 mintues.

30 minute pool swim, felt realy good like I did on Monday.  Then, I wasn't sure about my calf so I started out waking for a mile and then ran back graudually increasing my pace.  My calf felt perfect during the run and still feels 100% right now.  I'm excited to feel so good heading into race weekend.  I'll sit in the hot tub tonight after I pack.  I have to leave at 2:00 am tomorrow to catch my 6 am flight out of Vegas.  It's going to be a long day.

Texas Ironman. 

Great swim  1:16

Good bike 6:20 

Terrible run. Only made it 6 miles before my stomach gave out on me again. I don't know what else to try. I was physically feeling amazing as far as muscles and cardio go but my stomach was terrible and brought me to another early finish. I'm done with long races. I'm going to keep it to half marathons and shorter and Olympic triathlons and shorter.
