You know the day has been long and hot when...

.....your sink looks like this after a workout! Kristina's day was the long one...her biggest brick to date; a 64-mile ride/15 mile run....and Me, only a measly 45-mile ride, a 6-mile tempo run with hill repeats at the Rez and weights for the first time in ages.

Even though the thermometer only read 84 degrees, it felt a heck of a lot hotter at times. Overall, I felt pretty OK with a few moments of feeling great and another few of feeling like burnt-to-a-crisp-toast...pretty sure I am not totally recovered yet as I really like sleep, A LOT. Bike was a solid 19.6 mph on the really fast 5430 course and the run averaged just over 9's...which really shows me that over the shorter distance, while I am by no means fast...I am faster.

Total fluid consumed by K and I during yesterday's workouts:
  • 9 x 24 oz water bottles
  • 1 x 20 oz aero bottle
  • 2 x 8 0z Fuel Belt bottles
  • 1 x 60 oz Camelback
  • Total: 312 oz or 2.44 gallons of good 'ole H2O

That's so funny, I've seen that sink many times in my own home. Great job getting back to training. My plans to start back tomorrow have been temporarily refocused but I should catch up soon.

In the meantime, I'm fat, I'm lazy and I'm ready to get moving!
