Hello BT!

I had the freedom to sleep in this morning--I am purposely waiting for the day to heat up.  'Hoping' to run in at least 95+  degree temps today to acclimate to my trail races in Vegas in two weeks--temps will be well over 105 degrees. Slow and steady will be the mantra...and hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. So, 90 minute trail run on tap for me today!

Jamie--I'd love to swim with swans and turtles!  Lol!  Your race sounds fun too--and YES...pics please!!!!

Robert, glad your runs are feeling good--for me that's one of the best consequences, running feels good again,

Good luck racers today!

Have a great day!

Had my race this morning.
My highest overall finish in triathlon (5th) and still came in 2nd in age group. I would have won any other age group. My old guy division is competitive. All us midlife crises guys.

Well done!I was supposed to have a big brick today. It was raining steadily, so I put it off. Finally went out around 11:45, when it was barely drizzling. I wrecked within two minutes, so I called it a day. Hope your training/racing went better, BT. Be safe!

3 mile run at 0600 for me. Pleasantly surprised with cooler temperatures (59*), which was a nice break from the heat.

Nice race goddawgs!Had my 7 mile run this morning with my favorite runnin group, and spent the next couple hours getting a costume together for the 5k. It was hysterical. Every couple hundred meters they had some station that usually involved alcohol, ice cream or a slip n slide. At the beginning of the race there were maybe 2 people who were actually racing seriously, so I sprinted out in front with them and got a few hundred people to yell "freedom!!!" Hey if I'm gonna wear the costume I gotta play the part

GODAWGS - well done!
Steve - hope you are ok ...
Jamie - that really is cool, and kinda crazy
Shermbelle - wow, 100 mile trainer ride ..

I went out for an easy afternoon run, but knee got sore at 3.5 km Swam 2900 in the eve.
Yesterday was my son's high-school commencement/graduation ceremony. Over 4 hours long with 370+ seniors completing their last year

Started yesterday with my usual plank, pushups, and situps.

After those were out of the way I got on the bike and rode to the skate park and back. Usually this is a 13.96 to 14.00 mile ride, but yesterday it was only 13.90. I must have cut a few corners? Anyhow, my goal for as long as I've been doing this route has been to break an hour on it. It is still my goal, but I was so close at 1:00.06. If they ever repave the one spot they tore up to repair or replace a sewer (it's gravel now) so I don't have to stop and dismount twice, I'll have it.

Last night I also ran a local 5k that was an '80's theme. So I bought a bright yellow muscle shirt and cut some vents across the back and found a hot pink headband to wear to that. I was kinda disappointed by the lack of people wearing similarly ridiculous outfits; there were only a few of us. My run time was also pretty poor, but better than the race I ran last month. It was good enough for a third place in my age group (out of at least 4). The top three in each AG got a pair of Top Gun style aviator sunglasses After the race, they had a festival with an 80's rock band, a bunch of food,a beer garden for the adults, inflatable bounce houses for the kids, and fireworks at dusk (the fireworks were very impressive). The race bib came with a $5 food voucher and an adult beverage coupon. This was probably the funnest after race party I have ever participated in

Have a great weekend, what's left of it,
