Man what a weekend! It was finally a weekend with pretty good weather and I was sure glad to enjoy it.

Saturday morning was cool and overcast but I knew it was going to get better later in the day so I opted to do my ride run in the afternoon when the little man went down for his nap. Bright and early I got up and got a ton of yard work done that I had been neglecting, I mowed, pulled weeds, trimmed the trees and had it all done by 10 which was a relief as I wouldn't have it hangin over me the rest of the weekend. After that we played with all the neighbor kids and enjoyed the remaining time of the morning.

By 1 or so the weather was perfect, sunny and almost no wind so I got on the bike and headed out. I was riding by myself so I wanted to a do a little time trial for 56 miles and see if I was under my goal for Kansas, ended up hitting it relatively easy so hopefully things go well down there. I rode another 10 miles and came home and headed out for the transition run. I went a little over 5 miles and was having some serious stomach issues, I think I over did the Carbo Pro/GU2O mix on the bike but that is what training is for is to figure it out for the big race. The good thing is I went out on the first mile off the bike at a 7:03 pace, a little to fast for me to sustain but was good that the legs responded. I averaged right at a 7:30 for the run which I was happy with.

For Sunday the plan was for a long run and a quick spin on the bike. I could not get going in the morning no matter how much coffee I drank. I opted to once again to push the workout back until mid afternoon even though I knew it would be hot. After a morning of running errands and getting some household stuff done and much needed nap I headed out. I ended up running 15.25 miles at a 7:50 pace and I felt every bit of the workout on Saturday but was glad to be mentally pushing through the last couple of miles. After the run I hopped on the bike for a quick 40 minute spin and I think I created a small lake under my bike from the sweat.

Overall it was a great weekend, over 20 miles ran and 80 miles rode, got a ton done around the house and spent some quality time with the family. What a great weekend but I am wiped, I looking forward to bed and a much needed rest day tomorrow.
