AM - 5 mile tempo run with 1.5 mile warm up and a 2.3 mile cool down. We ran down from winchester hills to town square. The total run was suppose to be 8 miles but we measured it out with Craig's truck. He had oversized tires so every mile we drove added another tenth.

Mile Splits: 1.5m = 8:00, tempo = 7:27, 7:22, 7:22, 7:15, 6:55, and cool down = 7:52, 7:53

Total average = 7:33 pace

PM - Spin with Cathy for 20 miles (23.1 mph average). Went to Yoga class afterwards.

Biked the IM double loop course with Ryan S. We were 10 minutes slower on the second loop, but I had an extra mile when I biked into the State park for a restroom. VERY Windy going up the canyons towards Gunlock & Veyo. We had cross winds coming down Hwy 18.  This was a very hard workout with the strong winds and many hills. Averaged a 16.3 mph in 89 miles (5:28).

We left at 5:30 am and it was very cold too. I only wore a long sleeve with arm warmers, gloves, and shorts. I froze for the entire ride; didn't sweat much! I figured with wind chill from the bike speed and mother nature, I was feeling temps in the teens! The downhills were so cold I actually could not feel anymore!

After, I ran part of the IM run course. My plan was one loop but I only did 9 miles. I averaged just under a 9:00 pace. I think I was bonking... I hope I figure out this nutrition thing before the Big Day!
