I felt great during this run. A bit of pain in my knee, which may be weather changing.
Here's the suck part: I had a sneeze fit in the shower, about 10 minutes of straight sneezing. This happens during Spring and Fall allergy season; it's no fun. Anyway, I think I strained my lower back sneezing! I can't bend over now, and it's really uncomfortable to walk.
Someone call me a Waaaa-mbulance.

Meant to take it easy, but I zone 5'ed it up the big hill just to wake up. I'm super groggy this morning.
I saw Becca at the end of my ride. She rocks. Go say hi to her.

Every bit of last week was hills, heat, speed, or windy. This week I'm doing 17 hours of easy miles. That's just how it's going to be.

Rest day after yesterday's experiment in heat training. Time to gather my thoughts and reset for the Peak 5 weeks. Meanwhile I'm picking out a race kit. What do you think about this? If you want to read the same story again, but with 2 extra pictures: www.ironchad.com
Swim at Lake Pleasant in my wetsuit. Felt awesome!

Rode from Lake Pleasant to Stetson Valley, via Anthem and Norterra.I think this is the exact time I put up at Mountain Man. In hindsight I pushed way too hard on this ride. It was HOT and it was WINDY.

This is me DNF'ing the F out of my 70.3 simulation workout. It was 100F by this point, and I didn't think it was safe to continue. Oh well, live and learn.
