Went with the family down to Myrtle Beach...
of course, had to take the bike and ride - really felt weird on such a flat course...
The humidity was off the chart - wet from the get-go...
Played in the sand with Jackson and watched and helped an 11 1/2 yr old do everything in his power to build a deep enough trench or a high enough sand wall to keep the ocean from devouring the sand castle... Gotta love youthful optimism...even when the inevitable was upon us he keep saying keep digging - faster - faster...
Great run Sunday morning - the hammy was feeling a little tweaked but kept the pace very aerobic - didn't get crazy with the speed and made great time on 14 miles... ran conservatively and felt good about it... got a big blood blister because of the rain and humidity - completely soaked through and through...
I really believe that i have the right formula this time to easily(if you can say anything about Ironman is 'easy') break 12 hours. It's all about pacing and HR low enough that my system can take the nutrition...
Long 3200 swim this morning... the last 400 was done hard and i fell it - tired... gonna sleep good tonight...
Got a massage on the hammys especially and they are really jacked up - tight and knotted up... stretched well later this evening and ran a pretty easy 2 miles with the XC middle schoolers I coach...
going to bed - six miles tomorrow morning...
