Impromptu Rest Day. Forgot to set the alarm so no run this mornin, I cant swim for another day, so I get to rest. How come a rest day seems so hard, I should be loving it, but instead I feel guilty, who would a thunk it. :)

Nice run this morning. Beautiful morning for a run, saw a nice sunset and had great conversation w/ training partner. Walked up most steep hills and took it easy. Used about 24 oz of accelerade w/ a shot of hammer gel before heading out. Cooled down and stretched while having some R4.

Nice easy ride for almost the full course. The ride was a little daunting at first. Rte 1 is a median divided highway with exit and entrance ramps. That made for some very interesting maneuvering on the bike. The course is pancake flat except where it goes off of Rte 1 for about 15-20 miles. Should be able maintain a good pace w/o much effort. Forgot my HR monitor, but would bet that my avg was about 125-135. Used my IM cocktail on the bike. Worked well and I was able to drink plenty of fluids (IMC in bottles and H2O in aerobottle). However, go w/ 1 scoop of Metabol, not 2 (2 is way to chalky)
Swam in the ocean in Narragensett, RI, site of the Firmman Race w/ Stacey. Sooooo glad that I went to swim there, just nice to be able to get in the water / surf and see that it really wasn't all that bad. I must say, when I first saw the surf rolling in, I was a little anxious. Once we got out past the "breakers" the swim was great, no issues. However, I tore the crap out of my wetsuit, note to everyone, make sure you have trimmed finger nails when putting on a wetsuit!!!!
