Interesting workout today. Actually I think I screwed up just a wee bit. My ride was relatively gentle, and while I didn't feel overly ambitious I was satisfied. I focused on just staying within myself, and tried to relax. I definitely got de-stressed, and that was a primary part of the goal today. And since I asked for it, I also got a bit of rain. Fortunately not until I was only 2K from home. Finished my 90 kms at an average of 141 watts, and 29.5 kms/hr. All is good.
I headed out on my 9 km run and initially felt great. For some reason I started to flag a bit at about 4 kms, at about 5 kms I felt like someone dropped a load of bricks on me, and by 6 kms I was completely done. I chose not to get stressed again, especially since the plan all along was to run til I didn't want to any more. I walked for an entire km, at which point I thought I would give it another try. Much to my surprise I managed another 3 kms to complete my 9K, (plus the walking km) but at a slower pace.
When I got back home I maintained my resolve to relax, and decided not to even analyze the unexpected crash. That's why it came as a surprise when I chanced to step on the scales. Whoops! I'm pretty sure that I was a bit hydrated, as the scale came up 5 pounds lighter than when I left, despite drinking what I thought was enough. The way my body felt for several hours afterwards kinda confirms it. Strange though....I did stop to pee at about 70 kms....hmmm?
Oh well. Like I said. Over analyzing at this point would be totally counter productive. I get tomorrow completely off again. Woohoo!!
And for today's Sally update, she continues to rest in preparation for her journey. She's lucky cause she doesn't have to worry about hydration....love you Sall!

Sally is flying free now. You gotta grieve and laugh and cry and celebrate. And you gotta keep on training for the 17th. That's what she'd want, I bet!
