Spin 30 min, w/some HR3 effort
Run 30 min easy, some tempo

Skipped half of spin due to crotch issues. Maybe it was the shorts, maybe the crappy spin bike seat, maybe neither. Then had a short run due to GI problem. This workout was a half-ass mess. Day off tomorrow to re-group for home stretch workouts....

8/25/07, Saturday

Swim 1 mile @ 75-85% effort
Ride 80mi, <4.5 hrs, 19.1mph avg
Skipped t-run 30

Ouch. It was 97 degrees at the finish of this mostly draft-free swim/ride. My lingering sinus issue combined with the extreme heat and humidity had me somewhat light headed towards the end. And I made the call that a t-run would have put me at risk of heat exhaustion.

The good news is that I felt fit enough to run at the end if the heat was not so intense. And, if I am able to do this heat ride with a moderate illness I am feeling pretty fit. However, I learned that a hot IM will have me dialing the cycling speed way down.
