Long Run - Two Weeks Out
Hot and humid long run today.
6:20 pm
Route
14 miles
2:05
8:55 minute miles
avg HR 147
Kind of a high heart rate. Ran in the new shoes again. Also ran in the kit I plan on wearing race day. Carried a full water bottle and flask of Hammer Gel. I refilled the water bottle at about mile 10 and drank all of the refill by the end of the run. Didn't have any issues with the clothes or the nutrition but I was definitely gassed at the end of the run.

Bike Rack
In preparation for the trip to Lake Placid, I broke down and bought a bike rack. Put it on my truck myself without any problems... which is a miracle in and of itself. For those who of you don't really know me, I'm about as handy as a fish. So, getting this securely on the Yukon is quite a feat. Ironman should be easy after this.

416 Miles Cycling in 9 Days
I cycled again today. It was supposed to be a "recovery ride". I was alone for 25 miles so I took it easy. But, then I got to sections of road where there were other cyclists and the competitive juices started flowing. I did a couple of sustained streches of 26 mph+ cycling. My legs are feeling it right now.
7/4
9:24 am
Route
56 Miles
2:52:46 ride time
19.4 mph
126 avg HR
87 avg cadence
On the ride I was thinking about if you added it up... the last nine days has produced 416 miles of cycling. That is a lot of riding.

Catching Up on the Blog
OK... long run yesterday... with new shoes.
2:54 pm... sunny, hot and humid
Route
11.8 miles
1:51:40
9:27 minute miles
avg HR 142
Rode 100 miles on Saturday with Lennie and Chuck. I was definitely suffering from dead legs.
Swam an hour straight on Friday.
Rode 40 miles on Thursday. Caught up with a group from Artemis Cycling and sucked wheels at 26 mph for a good stretch of road.
The new shoes that I bought yesterday are Airmax 2011.
Total 200 was last Saturday and what a ride it was. The worst part was miles 115 - 160. Very grueling in that stretch. Otherwise, I felt pretty good. A good confidence boost.
