Strength training this morning.  A solo triathlon at Hueston Woods is planned for later this morning.  I have not been sleeping well lately and it is starting to catch up with me.  UGH!

Pat had planned on going to Hueston Woods with me, but he had to cancel again.  He is off work all summer (teacher), but is having sitter issues for the kids.  :-(  I went solo. 

Cooler temps today.  The lake had a bit of chop today which was nice for training.  Still uncomfortable on the new bike saddle -  I'll deal with it until Friday.  Felt good during the run.  Had fun!!  A good day of training. 

Back home and need to get back to work.  Play time is over for the day.

New bike saddle is ordered (Cobb v flow plus) and a bike fit is scheduled for Friday morning. 

Tons of gnats everywhere this afternoon during my run.  They were sticking all over my sweaty body. 

Ride was cut in half today.  I was so uncomfortable in the saddle.  The issues I was previously having are gone, but many new issues with the new saddle.  It was so bad I actually go off the bike and walked for a bit.   I'll be calling the bike shop early morning.  Need to figure something out.  Finally made it home and I was not in the mood to run. 

Morning run at Miami Whitewater Park with Pat.  Barbara was not able to meet us this morning.  :-(  Pat was feeling great and really pushed the pace.  I pushed myself to keep up.  Two loops around the park. 

Biked solo.  Trying out the new Fizik Ares saddle.  I have been having so many issues with the saddle I had and loved.  It has not been working this season and I have been so uncomfortable on the bike.  The Fizik feels totally different than the Profile saddle.  Length, width, stiffness - yes - they do all matter!!!  LOL!  :-)  I noticed I was still shifting around quite a bit in the saddle during the ride.  The  good news is the new saddle didn't cause any issues in places where the old saddle was giving me problems.  I am crossing my fingers that once I adjust to the feel, this saddle will work.  I have a another ride planned tomorrow which will be a true saddle test.

Meet Todd and Gabby at the pool for a swim this afternoon. 

Took a break for work late morning and went to Hueston Woods to "play."  Did my own solo triathlon.  Had a great time.  Dropped my bike off at the bike shop in Oxford on the way home.  The new saddle I ordered will be in this afternoon.  I'll pick the bike up tomorrow.  My girl parts have high hopes for this new saddle!!!
