Bike
  • 1h 58m
  • 31.05 miles
  • 15.79 Mi/hr

Made up for lost time today. I made sure I did the bike today that was supposed to be yesterday so that I could test that new aero bottle outside. I loved it! I kept hydrated so much better, and it stayed stable on the bike. I also like where we moved everything. In a tiny space I have shortie aero bars, an aero water bottle, a computer, and my HRM on the stem for non-races. What a cockpit! Everthing fits just right.

Run
  • 1h 02m 31s
  • 5.48 miles
  • 11m 24s /Mi

Decided to squeeze my run in today as well. I waited for David to get back from his ride and quick brick before I could get out for my run. I thought I had enough time on the radar to get it in before the rain hit, but I was wrong. 11 minutes in, it hit. Heavy rain!

Reasons I like running in the rain:
-Keeps you cool
-I seem to run faster
-Hardly notice it hit if you wear a hat
-Sound of rushing water at Russell Creek (never knew it had much water!)
-The rain drowns out the sound of the HR monitor alarm!!
-No other crazies out there to bother you!

Reasons I hate running in the rain:
-Clothes are heavy when soaked with rain
-Shoes go squish with every step
-The runoff means every block has huge puddles to jump over
-Sidewalks and trails are full of water at some points
-No one else out there to watch out for you

Avg cadence 80; stride 2ft 11in

Felt bleh today.  Not motivated for virtually anything.  Maybe rainy days are catching up to me, or maybe it is just because there was nothing "had" to do today.  I decided to skip the workout.  David did too.  I was really mad at myself later for this when it started to rain.  That made me feel more bleh.  Finally, I invited friends over for dinner to "salvage" the day.

Run
  • 46m 16s

David missed his swim today and let me get my run in early before the kids woke up since it wasn't raining. It was nice to not have to push the stroller.
