Still battling some fatigue.  Think it is a combo of things. Never took recovery week after HIM, then was battling a bug last week (think I beat it), and I think this humidity makes everybody sluggish. So I have dialed it back this week as kind of a recovery/taper thing. Hope it works because I need to pick it up again next week.  weather/time permitting I will try and jump on bike tonight.

UPDATE had a nice little ride. ended up playing cat and mouse with a guy out there. Like most races, I would power by on the uphills or inclines and he would get me on the downhills or flats. I did get him on one flat area where he took too long admiring the backside of a lovely lady rider. I don't blame him, but you can't win the race that way.  Oh and I got stung by a bee. That stunk.

run started out stiff and slow, but got quite comfy once I got going.

So at the lake last night two ladies approached me in the water and said I looked like an experienced swimmer. (HA I knew they had to be newbies) They asked me how far the sprint swim was for TFC. When I told them that it goes around the lake, they seemed in disbelief and a little scared. I told them of my first tri swim experience and just told to stay calm and swim. They thanked me for my advice but I don't know if I helped or not.

Had so much fun running in the mid-day heat and humidity yesterday, thought I would try it again. Weather man says dew point was about 70 (pretty moist) and it certainly felt  like it.  Expected a slow pace and sure got it.

Kind of in a battle with myself as I try to train for my remaining tris and try to train for the fall marathon.
