7.30.17 Sunday restday!

Great race yesterday Kim!!! I'm glad to hear it went so well for you!

Today's training was a 5-mile run in the much cooler weather (60*F when I took off).

Funny story - I have been working with our 8-year-old daughter to help her learn how to ride her bike, and today she started to get the hang of it, so I let go and chased along beside her. As she went to turn right, she leaned left, and landed on me. My left shin took the hit and got a minor gash that bled quite well. I don't have the pic on my laptop yet, else I would post it. My daughter was very apologetic, and I'm laughing at myself, because no one warned me that helping your kids learn to ride would be hazardous to your own health!!

Kim--Awesome race and race report! I want to do this downstream swim sometime!

Being a volunteer standing near the mount line when I get on my bike can be hazardous too--I've hit one once (several years ago) and come close several other times. Not sure why--think it may have to do with vertigo that I get sometimes after the swim, especially in cold water.

Long (3:15-ish) ride in the heat here with some race-pace efforts, altogether 1:30 of hard stuff. Trying to get used to the heat/humidity again.
