"...race like you train"

You mean I can stop in the middle of the race and go to Starbucks?

HA! Sure! Go for it.

On a serious note though... I was wondering last night, that if I saw a place to eat on the Ironman bike route... if I would be "allowed" to stop and get some food.

I could seriously eat a meal and keep riding... no problem. If I did it at around mile 50, I am certain I would still be good for the run.

That's what your special needs bag is for half way through the ride. I stashed a full sized Toblerone bar in mine, plus some other stuff. I ate half the bar and went to the Porta Potty, (left the bar outside next to my bike), when I came out it was gone.

People stash all kinds of things in their special needs bags.

I completely skipped my run today. I was supposed to go out for 14 miles. DH and I had to go into the big City to do house building errands. We didn't get back until 4:30 and although I had enough daylight, I said screw it. I feel a little guilty but I know that I tend to be an overtrainer so it was probably good for me to rest if I felt that way.

There's something heroic about running in the pouring rain. Yet, it's the best running, especially if the rain is not cold.

Had a quick, 25-min run before dinner tonight, very gentle, kept my heart rate low except for four or five short intervals just to remember I could move my legs faster. I'm racing the Divas' 8K tomorrow (cool hot pink race shirt!). Should be fun!

Someone stole it? Dang. I guess they were desperate?

Oh well, you can make up the run later!

Well, I'm off to my first race of the season... a duathlon!

GOOD LUCK K!
