Had a good run...felt good. Took it easy...I had a long way to go!

Wake up on time! EAT SOMETHING!!!!!

First 3 laps went as planned, rested on the down hills a little. Kept spinning on the up hills. Last lap starts with a little uphill...I felt sluggish and felt like I was pushing pillows on my pedals. I looked down to see my back tire almost flat!! WTF!!! I pulled over and decided instead of changing the tube out to give it a shot of CO2...it was night and day! It held until the finish...the tire was completely flat when I got back home. New tube me thinks!

Did a half loop and had to poop...NOW! Ducked into a rest room and had a little sit down (approx. 6 minutes) I think it's ironic to have the runs while running! (HeHeHe) It turns out the ENDURA I drank on the bike (approx. 700ml) did not agree with my stomach...empty as it was! I just loaded up on Gatorade on each aid station and dumped H2O over my head to stay cool. Took one walk break on each of the first 2 loops. On the last 2 loops I walked only to drink at each aid station. (kind of pumped about that!)

Not drink ENDURA ever again on the bike! Enura = pipe cleaner for the gut!!!

walked around and did some stretching. Ate some water melon. THEY RAN OUT OF CUPS AT THE GOODY TENT...I ran to my bike...OK, OK I walked to my bike in transition and got an empty water bottle...WASHED OUT ANY LAST REMNANTS OF ENDURA...and drank some water and gatorade.


1) flat tire on bike
2) poop break
