 | Running race 24:19 [5]4.65 km (5:14 / km) vdot: 36.2 | |

| Altoona summer biathlon. Ran faster per km versus first race on a tougher course plus shot better hitting 4 out of 5 prone and 2 out of 5 off hand. A women from the national team only beat me by 12 seconds. If I would have hit one more target I would have beaten her. Finished fourth in a close competion with lots of strong racers. Starting to get some of my speed back, but have more to build on plus the shooting was way better. Also the walk area before shooting was longer. Smaller targets set at 25 meters. This time had a mass women start in which the 10 fastest women went together first. temps already in the low 70's at the start of the race one advantage of having fast race time others did not start until almost one hour later. |
| Running warm up/down 24:00 [1]2.5 mi (9:36 / mi) | |
| |
| ran on the race course before. After ran on the course and watched the other competitors with later start times. |
| Shooting 35:00 [0] | |
| |
| Before the race shot off 20 rounds. Several people had to go so this was the most you could try. After the race fired about 45 rounds before the range was closed for it to be picked up. chance for me to practice prone shooting since the range I use is not set up for it. |
| Yard work 25:00 [1] | |

| ran in a small park that gave beautiful views over the city of Altoona. felt good to run around since the traffic was slow most of the way so sat for a long time. |

| Note | |
| |
| The surgery site was kind of bothering me so I went back to the doctor. Ended up the internal stitches were not being absorbed so he removed all seven of them. It felt better almost instantly; luckily no infection or swelling. Found out there is a recall on the internal stitching used for both surgery sites. Now I have to wait for my body to expel the other sutures in my leg which could take up to one year. I thought it still felt funny and when I touch it I can tell the stitches are still around. There is a defect in the manufacturing of these stitches and your own body won't break it down. Other people have had bad infections luckily that has not happened. |
| Shooting 1:10:00 [0] | |
| |
| The range I go to purchased Elay Biatlon ammo so I had to try it out. It made a difference using the higher quality ammo at triple the price. Shot 100 rounds. Wanted to shoot more since it was going so well just a couple of people showed up and started shooting the real high powered ammo near me and it was just a bit much to shoot with that. Since I have not been on the range for a whole week surprsing to shoot my best ever. Also used some of the cheaper ammo and realized some of it is the ammo choice. |
| Running 6:00 [4] | |
| |
| Ran close to race pace and came back into the range to shoot five off hand shots. Hit 4 out of 5 of the targets doing this in 80 seconds from the time I started walking to talking out the magazine. the top people do this in 60 seconds, but I may have added some time to this because I had to walk a little further versus competition. |

| Running warm up/down 17:00 [1]2.0 mi (8:30 / mi) | |
| |
| easy warm up. Could notice the difference in heat since I flew back earlier in the day. |
| Running intervals 36:00 [3]5.0 mi (7:11 / mi) | |
| |
| ran 3 X ( 2 X 200 and one mile). An otherwise easy workout turned into a tough one when I did not eat much all day and had to eat before running. Felt very heavy and ran like it also. 200's in 43 and 44 and the miles were in the low 6:40's. Can't really blame it on the heat though it was about 15 degrees warmer versus the last few days. After flying had all I could do to get this workout in. Ended up being rather tired so catnapped for a while. |

| ran around the lake near the house. Went with my brother in law that is in great shape just he drank two sodas just before going and he really had a bad side stitch. Slowed some until we found a water fountain which seemed to help. My brother and sister in law thought the distance was longer. |
