Today was a freakin hot one. I headed out just before 10 am for a three hour ride. Headed out to the route out into the hills. There was about a 10 degree difference when I got to the midpoint of the route. I took in a ton of fluids and 3 + gels. Legs felt good all the way through, and really fresh when I transitioned for a 30 minute run.
I was real pleased with my bike but it ended in the dead middle of the day when the damn humidity was kicking. The first 7 minutes were good and then I started to slow. Tried to run in the shade as much as possible but my route is mostly exposed. Hit the turnaround and slogged back just drenched in sweat and just trying to keep my mind of the heat. Run was a little slower than most bricks I've been doing but mostly due to the heat and challenging ride.
Looking forward to my first race tomorrow. I've never come into race of such a huge workout so it should be interesting. Most interested to see where my swim is this year. The first open water swim is always interesting. I will say I'm not as tense as I normally am the day before.
