Rest day.  In Mundeline for client meetings.  Heading to KC early tomorrow morning for more meetings.  Just a day trip.  Will try and run a little on Friday. 

 

I'm doing the South Shore Tri on Saturday, but as a guide for a challenged athlete.  I'm helping the same guy I helped in a few races last year, he is a stroke victim and doesn't have much use of his right arm or leg.  Looking forward to helping him again.

Drove home for Door County today.  Back to reality tomorrow.  Had a great time with everybody up there.  Going to take a few days off from any training as I'm kind of burned out.  Have been training since January and need a little break.

Holly Hot and hilly. This was just survival. Ran up some hills I wouldn't want to ride my bike up. Blew up at mile 9 and walked most of the rest of the way in.

Door County was a fun race.  It is a fairly hilly run course with 2 monster climbs.  For some reason I had no power in my legs for biking.  Oh and I have horrendous sun burn.  It was hotter than heck out there with no shade.
