Good morning BT!  I don't know if it's the cool mountain air but I could not get out of bed until 8am!  

8:30am:  Ahhhhhhmazing trail run near Heavenly Ski Resort.  I had to do hill repeats in the middle of the run--the best thing about running trails is there are always plenty of climbs to choose from.  Settled on a 5-6% grade in the forest and did my 6 X :30.  I can't wait to go back and run tomorrow am!

On tap for today--beach all day.  Planning to do an OWS and hopefully some paddle boarding as well.  I'll try to throw some relaxation in there as well! 

Karen...yes the full was two loops of that same course.  The second time out was so hard--those temps were well over 108 by then.  One vivid memory I have is on one (of the many) climbs I saw bike after bike on the side of the road and their riders were all sitting in the treeline in the shade.  I survived that race on sheer grit and determination because I knew if I didn't finish I would have to do another one! Lol!  

Have a great day BT!

0600: 750m in the pool (5x150m). My swimming keeps getting better each time in the water - breathing is good, muscle endurance is good, and HR is staying where it should. I'm really excited about where I am with it all right now!

Ah, Heavenly is tough to beat for the view. I wasn't a big fan of the skiing, but that view is truly special.

5:15 - 1 hour easy ride. Off day tomorrow.

Have a great day, BT!

Cool mountain air sounds great! We had some nice cool mountain roads en route from CDA but hot here in Boise most of the day. Had hoped to do some OWS in the town lakes here but they were all closed for various reasons--bacteria, water levels, water plants. So ended up doing 30 minutes of easy laps in a public pool. Still felt good to get in and loosen up after the race, driving all day yesterday, and house-hunting all day today.

That horrid bike course in 108 degree temps! My respect is changing to hero worship!
