AM - Bike 22 miles with Cathy, Craig, Tige, and Ryan S. We met at 5am and rode the Blvd up and down. Good hills and snooth surface... I still managed to get a flat too... >:S

PM - Brick Workout - Craig and I swam along the dam and back at Sand Hollow Reservoir. The wind picked up on the way back and it felt like I was swim in place against the wind current. I still managed a good time of 57:30!! We did a short transition bike ride for 10 miles and a run transition for 2 miles at a 8:00 pace.

And... I got in most of P90X this evening of Shoulders & Arms with most of abripperx.

Craig and I jump in with a tour ride that other friends were riding. We felt great and we rode up in the front with the leaders. I kept up for over 60 miles. I crushed the hills and thats when I dumped most of the riders drafting off me... :) Towards the end I almost made ground back up to the lead pack, but I had a run to do, so we jumped off that ride and hurried back to our cars for transition. Total distance was 85 miles in 4:00:07 (21.2) Very hilly course!!

We transitioned to run the ironman course. When we got to the top of the last hill, we turned around and ran back. Mile 3 we walked the big hill turning onto red hills parkway.

Splits: 9:08, 9:05, 10:48, 9:00, 8:22, 7:51, 8:07, 7:26(0.5 mile)

My reward was Five Guys!!! :D
