The weather for Saturday in Jacksonville has improved.  It looks like it will rain, but not a lot of it.  The best part is the wind is predicted at 5-8 mph instead of 20-25 mph.

It was a good month.  I always feel like I needed to ride more, but the rain canceled a few rides.  62 hours is still strong.
 

Last day of the month.  I say bike.

I rode down to the river.

Last week went well.  I need to get more biking in, but the rain had my schedule all screwed up.  Hopefully I can get in a good bike tomorrow as my last work out of the month.  The BT plan says I need about 17 hours of SBR this week, but I don't see it happening with the HIM on Saturday and the travel to get there and back.  I guess there won't be a taper for the HIM!


 

Recovery Run

I know what you are thinking.  10:37 pace?  Below are my excuses:

1. I ran the first mile with a nail gun
2. I didn't eat before the run
3. I was a hilly route
4. I had to go to the bathroom
5. I really wasn't feeling it.

Off to Augusta to cheer.

Long Brick

I wanted to test my nutrition one last time.  The SCT would have been the place to do this since my race is flat, but there wasn't enough time.  I rode the hills of Roswell and tried to keep my HR about where it will be in the race.  On the run I just tried to find my zen.  You know, that pace where it feels easy.  Anyway, everything went great and I felt like I was just getting warmed up at the end of the run.


bike nutrition:
3.5 botlles of powerbar drink: 210x3.5=735cals
1 bottles of HEED: 1x200=200 cals
5 oz gu: 500 cals
1435 calories/ 5:53 = 246 cal/hour

run nutrition:
4 gu's and 32 ounces of h2o
400 cals/ 1:22 = 292

I must have left my Garmin on because it was dead.  It's a little warm out there.
