I didn't get my 40miles in yesterday so I did the other half today.
I expected the heat but the wind was pretty brutal too. I was super-hydrated before taking off which was a welcome change. I only drank 24oz of water and had a pack of chomps on the road. Probably my last ride before the race.
Thought I'd wait until dark to mow the back yard so it wouldn't be so hot... it didn't matter. I came in and saw the heat index at 94 degrees at 10pm. I'll just finish it tomorrow in the daylight.

I wanted to bike today because my legs were still a little sore from the pounding they took sunday. It just wasn't in the cards so I set out to run one or two laps tonight. Once I started running, my legs felt pretty good. The weather was great for running; cool breeze with a light drizzle. Drank more water than I needed on the first lap but started rationing it better when I decided I was going for distance. Ate half a pack of blocks at mile 8... and the other half at mile 9. Pushed myself hard on the last 4 miles and managed to survive. I think I was smiling the whole time. Would've been happy with 10min/miles but this makes me think 9min/miles are possible by my next race.
13.21 miles in 2:01:17 (9:10 min/miles)
