DCRRC SLR 7am. 72 degrees foggy, Arlington triangle route. Mt Vernon, 4mi Run, Old Dominion, Custis bke trails. Temp may have been cooler but with high humidity felt pretty hot. Only drank 32oz during the run and lost 5 lbs.

At summer series with Iolanthe. 8-10pm. Not feeling so great. Think I did not rehydrate properly this morning. Drank a Double Gulp of Gatorade during the dance to try and recover.

At Batchelors and Batchelorettes. 7:30-9:30pm. (Iolanthe was on a campover) Back to work later after that. Only 3 hours sleep before back to work again friday morning.

Warmup before race. Mt. Vernon trail. Achillies very tight from last weekend.

DCRRC: Belle Haven 8k. Mt Vernon bike trail. 7pm. A liitle cooler than earlier this week, low 80s but very humid. Headache most of the day so not up for a good run. Tried to go out easy and avoid my usual fade. Splits: 1k 3:59, next mile 6:21, 4k 16:21, 6:38, last k 4:16. Still faded at end. Finished 26th.
Last year I had a headache also but finished 12th in 31:48. Has not been a good summer of racing; times are off quite a bit from last year.

No warmdown after race. Straight to DBD class at Dixie Stars. 8-9:30pm

Went to English country dancing 8:30-10:00pm but it was so laid back even I could not count it as exercise. Have to draw the line somewhere and apparently mine is here. Square Dancing - yes (at 1/3 time), English Country dancing - no. I did break a sweat, but only because it was so hot.

7pm. 400m in apartment pool. Another 15 minutes treading water in the deep end after that which I did not count.
