Left the west side Y looking for the mountain bay trail, took a wrong turn due to construction and got mixed up. Finally found it and got in the grooove. Had major cramps around mile 7 and had to hit the weeds for a BM, hate it when that happens, but felt a ton better afterwards. Dropped in about 3 miles at sub 6.50 pace just to get the heart going a little. cadence wasn't as good as I hoped, averaged 85/86

Syd got me up for a drink of water so I decided to get the run in before my 6 am meeting, I also had to recalibrade the Garmin, as the battery was dead last week. D&M jewelers did a great job and didn't even charge me, very nice! Good run. 10' wu 10x30" hard, 20' at zone 2. Felt like the legs were finally back after DC HIM.

Averaged 20.5 going to Wrightstown, felt good, had like a 15 min warm up with spin ups and worked in 5x6' hard efforts with 4' recovery. Coming back the wind kicked up and the legs felt like mush. CD 90

Felt like tossing the bike in a ditch and giving up on IM training today. Very frustrated. Maybe it was the wind, maybe i was just not recovered from DC HIM yet, who knows, but I just felt like sticking with running and scrapping the whole deal today. I need an attitude adjustment, adn the best way to get that, is to head down to Madison this weekend for a 45 min. swim followed by a 112 mile bike. This is a PRIORITY #1 WORKOUT that needs to be done and should really give me the mental boost to get going on this bike. Hoping to get a professional fit on the bike at the HUB on Friday.

Feeling a bit sluggish and uninterested today. Race and heat took it's toll yesterday. THinking about a cold bath or something to wake the legs up.

Need to get the Garmin battery fixed today. Missed having that on the race yesterday. the Nike HR monitor was not accurate and it's the band is too think, it presses hard on the chest.
