PM: 2 hour bike ride (easy pace), easy 30 minutes run, soak in the pool and ice down

bike: 28.04 mi. - 2:00, run: 4.12mi. - 32:56

Its hot again.  That long on the bike is painful on the unmentionables.  Don't know how I'm ever going to get up to 4 and 5 hour rides.

All the same, 2.5 hrs cardio/aero (thought the bike was barely considered as such) on an "off" day is plenty :)

This is supposed to be a "down/recovery week"... we'll see.

PM Bike - 86 degrees.  Good day for a XT hard effort.  Recovery week in full effect.  No run today.  Grandview bike and back - 16.72 mi. - 58:25, with 12 mi. hard effort - 36:15 (19.86mph). Going up the 1mi. hill at mile 7 was 15.5 mph while going back down it was 23.5 mph... Max speed - 37.4mph! :)  That was fun

Pm bike run bike.  Its hot again - 90 degrees in the shade.  Bike over to Northside to run intervals with D. Fisher 6.22 mi. bike - 22:32 min. .  I ran 800m of his 1200m repeats.  In the heat we bowed out at 5 reps.  The pace on the 800s was well out of my comfort zone - I could've maybe done 1.5 more reps...

5x800m - 2:37, 36, 37, 34, 36  The recoveries were pretty much full recoveries, but the pace was barely sustainable for 800m for me. 

4x200m - 31, 35, 36, 34

1mi. or so to cool down

bike to chipotle to pick up dinner and then home - 11 miles - 43:04.  Pushed it for last 6mi. - avg. moving speed > 20mph

AM race in the sunny heat.

5k Race - 18:30 (5:33, 5:53, 6:15, 0:50 for 0.14)

Late PM: Red Eye Relay in Bloomington, IN - first leg at 8p - 0.75 mi. WU jogging and strides.

1st Leg:  3.82mi. - 22:08 (5:30, 6:10, 5:30, 4:57 for 0.82mi.) - net downhill of about 350'.  One portion was so steep downgrade that I ahd to put on the breaks to keep from falling - pace got up to 4:15/mi. pace on that portion.

2.5 hrs later - 2nd Leg:  5.87mi. - 38:15 (7:04, 6:18, 6:25, 6:22, 6:02, 6:02 for 0.87 mi.) - the first mile is a steep climb, and the second mile is still steadily increasing in elevation.  I was toast by the end of this one.

Third leg was run at 1:51am - 4.26mi.-26:29 I'll count this one on next weeks'
