Took Trudy's advice and started to make the donuts.
Didn't really feel like it, but never felt out of it. Felt pretty strong. Had water at water fountains. Stopped only for water (seconds) and to walk across busy intersections.
Did some conscious midfoot running and modified my posture a couple of time.
Felt pretty good.

I also had my best ever placing in swim 43rd and in bike 29th...run was 66th (year I was born...hmmm, what is going on here?) Total Racers (of those that finished!!) is 81.

I would have slept some more, but Sleepy, Dopey and Bashful have started to feel me up.
Leaving for Morden today. I was thinking about going for a little run, but I just don't feel like it. I might just walk around a bit and clean up my bachelor pad.

Processing your request, please wait...
4K continuous. Been there, done that. Next!
Stopped seconds to fix my cap. Tried wearing goggles under cap, worked well. Had lane to myself, very nice. All front crawl (emphasis on crawl) started with 2:04/100, then went up to 2:14 and in the last 700m I was doing 2:32s and I need to pee.
I kept losing track of the lap, (not to mention the day and the year). Got 'er done!
Running Room 20 minute challenge, plus running there and running back to get the car to go pick up first born from track.
Ran with Alan. He says we were running a 4:40 pace...Who are you and what have you done to my body?
