Estimated distance. Alum Creek swim. I also did a few practice beach entries and exits.

Bike
  • 1h 59m 19s
  • 35.88 miles
  • 18.04 Mi/hr

Felt GREAT! Bring the wind! Bring the hills! Is that all you have? Really?
Man, I forgot how fun this sport is when every weekend isn't a 6-hour ride.

Run
  • 1h 00m 01s
  • 6.99 miles
  • 08m 35s /Mi

I ran how fast? You are freaking kidding me! This felt GREAT too. I love taper!
What a difference some cooler weather makes! I also tried this out with my thicker socks, which I am considering using or at least putting in my special needs bag. No negatives, at least after an hour.

 Day off! This tapering thing is weird. But I enjoyed sleeping in until 7:20! Wow!

Run

This was a good run for me, first thing in the morning. Not usually my best pace pre-dawn with no warmup, but I felt good today.

September 1

Bike
  • 1h 00m 21s
  • 17.98 miles
  • 17.88 Mi/hr

Good workout on the trainer in the garage. I noticed it didn't get light out until 6:45 a.m.
Sigh.

Run
  • 45m 06s
  • 4.69 miles
  • 09m 37s /Mi

Perceived effort was high compared to speed. I think this was because I was hungry when I went to bed last night and I didn't eat anything this morning and drank only water during the bike and run. It was sort of an experiment. I guess there is an effect! Still a good effort.

Hah! Take THAT, Indian Lake ride. Pace was slow, but there was some wind, lots of navigation and it was H.O.T. hot.

Run
  • 1h 30m 01s
  • 8.97 miles
  • 10m 02s /Mi

Wow. This ironman thing is going to be hard. This run was really really difficult. I was still hot from the bike. I think the weather is going to be a big factor in my race. I did well mentally. And with keeping my HR down.
