Got back home and went out for another loop - all highway. Kept small ring and just spun about 110rpm...I was up to 37k/hr.

Attitude is a lot better today. The training yesterday helped.

A nice little run in the afternoon heat. Felt pretty good. So far so good.

I have finally figured out why my run was as hellish as it was at Stony Plain...I had the beast with me...she even had the number! More pictures here

Woke up this morning to run. It was 6 degrees. I was so tired. When I write that I woke up, it wasn't so much a waking as it was getting vertical from an otherwise horizontal restless night...Don't know what's up. I think I was too cold.
I've moved my run to the PM and I'm going to try to hit the pool at lunchtime...cross my fingers.

Tried something new. Stopped and stretched at every water break. This helped a lot. The bathroom/fountain at 10k was closed...that stressed me out a bit, it was a hot one out there!

Run with FW. First time she's been out since her tri...that's three weeks! Pretty good.

Bike

2h 16m

Ride out to Grand Coulee with FW. She rocked the way out. Although the wind on the way back and her lack of T.I.T.S. conspired against her knees. Last half hour was really kinda slow.

Great to do such a long ride with her. We rode side by side the whole way, good chat.
I didn't go aero. It was weird. I am usually aero all the way. Wrists were a little sore.

Strength

1h 15m

Core, strength and some stability work. Not a very hard workout, but hard enough.

Stretching

After Brendan and after run

Here we go again. Let's see what kind of surprises Brendan has in store.
Today is a hang out and train with FW day after that. I'm looking forward to it.
