Just Do Your Best

August 14

What a difference a month (or 7 weeks) makes. Here are my paces from the race 7 weeks ago and today's race. The courses were different. In fact, today's course was easier, especially the bike (no headwind, no big hill). I'm back in the BOP, "just finishing", after scratching my way to BOMOP 7 weeks ago before letting my training go. SJIT paces: Swim: 2:29 /100m Bike: 19.13 mph Run: 9:55 min/mile FIT paces: Swim: 2:56 /100m Bike: 18.38 mph Run: 10:49 min/mile

Went to Be and Aine's first 5k to support them. I was sneaky. :) I drove them there and when they took off, I ran back to the car to pull the signs and flowers I had gotten for them out of the trunk. They were really happy to see the signs and get the flowers. I cheered for them as they passed too and they both had a great race.

Quick run before dinner. It was hot. I'm getting more used to it, I think. But I'm not sure if it's physical or mental. Hydration is important, though.

Brick. It was getting dark but I wanted to do at least one brick before my race this weekend.

Run
  • 44m 48s

Brick.

Drinking too much on the bike led to a stomach ache on the run. Either that or I'm drinking the wrong stuff (Gatorade).

OK, poor scheduling meant that I didn't get much of a run in today. But I'm glad at least I put my shoes on and got out there.
