Saturday - December 1

Bike

52m
15.40 miles
17.77 Mi/hr

28 degrees this morning when I got up.... So I scrubbed the early morning bike ride, and instead laid around the house - watched the Kona Ironman on NBC, THEN when for a bike ride - a much more tolerable 50 ish degrees. Nice ride, lots of wind, but other than that it was all good.

It was really good to get back on my bike - it tends to get neglected during marathon build-up....

Run

2h 27m 39s
15.06 miles
09m 48s /Mi

Long Sunday afternoon run - cool temp's, in the 60's, carried 16 ounces of water in one hand, fuel belt with iced bottles, 24 ounces of water, 6 ounces of gatorade. Used up all liquids in 2.5 hours of running, shot blok every 30 minutes, one GU at the one hour point, and a handfull of sport beans at the two hour point - everything went really, really well. I was feeling hungry by the end, but no bonk....

First time I've been able to bring my pace under 10 minute miles on this long of a run.
