WOW! what a ride.
It was hot, then it was cold, then it was thunder and then it was rain, HARD RAIN!! total iron training!! loved it. i did not see another person in a bike, and only 2 runners and one of thm had an M-dot (ironman tatoo) on his calf!
81:47 suncoast trail to the end and back. 4:44:47 - weird time eh!
Ate 4 gesl, one cliff bar, one pack of fitness beans, one pack of GelBlox
drank - 3 bottles of Gatorade, and 2 bottles of water.
It was great because i remembered- JUST CUZ THERE IS WATER COMIN DOWN SO HARD I CAN'T SEE, DOES NOT MEAN IT IS GETING INSIDE MY BODY! Lesson i learned at the Florida 70.3
Notice during thedrive home i was really tired- like sleepy tired. that is not normal for me.
oh- and i covered my gadgets for the first time. My average was 17.3. almost a mile and a half per hour. But i think it was the air pressure. i also think the really hard rain, and the puddles slowed me down some. But the wetness helped with my temperature, so it is probably a trade off.
Weighed back in at 183.6
- and that was after a half galon of water

FF, I'm riding 52 miles tomorrow, so I'll know if I can go the 112 with you on July 5 or if I wimp out and only do 56. But, I ain't goin' up Sugarloaf Mountain twice!
And, I am gonna definitely wimp out on the terrain race Friday. That is only 2 days before my first sprint tri on Sunday and the wife and I are going to the beach. Chicks dig a shirtless guy with a chest scar I am told

w2hat do you mean? you are not going to the poicnic race at all? DUDE!!! my family is looking forward to meeting you.
as for running, I plan to try for a low 20's time. My son is bringing a friend so that leaves me free to go all out. I would love to see sub 7's.
anyhow,,, don;t worry abotu the ride, we can just do the single loop. That is a good hard ride out there.

I'll post in your forum, FF!
Next Saturday, July 12 (can't use an "I'm staying home with the family on this fourth of July" card) we ride the entire suncoast trail and maybe even take the detour through Starkey Park to make it an even century!
Let's meet at that same McDonalds at 6:30am, but, I need directions again.

hehehehe I am a mush bucket at times and very neeedy! total pre-madonna, watever that means.
anyhow.
17 weeks kicks off today. I have decided to add a 20 mile bike ride 5 days a week, first thing in the morning. It will be mountain bike high spin, and low hard pulling combo's, just a morning cruise. That will give me 100 miles a week on bike, for starters. It will also get me out of he house and awake for a good days work each day.
Along with that I will be doing the BT'er's 140.6 training starting on week 17 day 2.
I am cutting myself back to one treat daily, low fat frozen yogurt, 2 servings at night, and one dark chocolate (2 squares) daily. Clean and lots of food other than that.
I am starting at 193 lbs this morning. 6 lbs of that is water I have guzzled to get my sytem going again this morning. Other than running I have stopped torturing myself completely, and I have no sore areas at all. Even my feet are completely healed up!
It feels rathe rnice to be a bit heavy, strong, and not sore. My fat weight used to be 220, and now it is 190. very nice.
Physically I feel great.
Mentally I feel like taking one more day off- LOL!
Spritually I am the centr of the universe and all things revolve around me- thank you thank you very much

hes back alright 50 burpees to get heart rate up
cool down
swim:
1500 continuous - 28:16
Spin Class: 65 minutes, new instructor, Rock and Roll, long haired, screaming and yelling the whole time, trying to prove something, kick back from the 60's, overcompensating, weirdo!
swim:
500
100 X 15, try to establish pace and repeat. found this very difficult, fastest was 1:45, and slowest was 2:06. Never did get two 100's in a row that were even within a few seconds. Stroke count was pretty consisitent at around 80
It felt great to throw down a nice brick!
Athletics rule!
