| Early morning paddle a couple times around Green Lake (short laps, so I wouldn't have to maneuver as much in and out of coves or risk running into fishing lines in the dark). The second time around, I paddled moderately hard from the Aquatheater to the edge of the E Green Lake cove, and I've logged that separately.
There were some lights on the lake, and I eventually figured out (when they almost ran into me) that they were the Green Lake Crew boats. What is it about rowing that makes people do it really early in the morning, before it's even light? I guess that's a time that is almost guaranteed to avoid scheduling conflicts with other things.
Sunrise was really pretty, even with the clouds in the sky. I had planned to do three laps, but I stopped after two, because the fingers on my left hand were getting pretty sore. The soreness subsided temporarily when I closed and opened my hand a few times, but it kept coming back. Besides, the boat was taking on a lot of water again, and I didn't want to sink like a Pekingese eight. |

| Harder paddling part. It felt tougher than when I first put in, maybe due to the water weight in the bottom of the boat. |
| Cycling (mtb single-track) 46:55 [2] 5.54 mi (8:28 / mi) +185m 4:46 / km | |

| Rode my usual loop at St. Edward and Big Finn Hill. I felt stronger than I did last time and rode the Finn Hill loop in 10:52, even stopping for a moment after the saddle bounced up and hit me in the coccyx when I was trying to power up a hill over some roots. |
| Running - Trail / Grass (trail) 46:00 [2] 5.26 mi (8:44 / mi) +220m 4:49 / km | |

| Ran the trails at St. Edward, going through the challenge course area, down to Arrowhead, back to the Seminary, down to the water on the North Ridge and back up via the South Ridge, up to Juanita and 141st, on a loop through the South section of woods near Finn Hill, then back along Juanita and the park entrance road. Besides my left knee hurting, it felt good to run the trails. |

| I seem to have a chronically high morning HR. Maybe I'm burned out. Oh, well. I guess the USARA Champs will be tough for me. |
