Road Riding 1:26:47 [2] 43.41 km (2:00 / km)
ahr:159 max:189 weight:241lbs
L-Town and Seaforth with Taylor. He's newer at road riding than I am so I managed to drop him on most of the flats so I'd slow down and then hammer like hell on the hills where he didn't have much trouble keeping up with me unless I turned it on like crazy. I won't be faster than him for long so I did enjoy it a bit! Tried out some different techniques that I read about today like sitting up with weight back and spinning. Had some success. I'm anxious to try that out on my own to get a comparative time, could have just felt good because of the reprieve before the hill.
I managed to stay relatively well hydrated in the brutal heat too. Rather than take a dozen water bottles with me I drank about three litres during the day. Good call Lowery.
Fun fact of the day... the ideal roadie climber weighs 2 lbs for every inch they are tall. Ha! Apparently I'm the ideal roadie climber who ate another ideal roadie climber.

Note
(rest day)
Bit of work to do tonight, and hopefully going for a solid ride tomorrow, so not a bad time to take a rest day. It's brutal hot anyway!

Running 1:56:46 [3] 14.51 km (8:03 / km)
weight:229lbs shoes: XT Wings 2
Road and tech trail run from Lake Echo to Porter's Lake / Lawrencetown. Heat was insane! Kind of lost my shit for a while.
229 lbs? It was a different scale, but I was quite dehydrated!

Bushwhacking 1:00:00 [2] 2.0 km (30:00 / km)
shoes: XT Wings 2
Not very long distance wise, but very thick whacking. Did some wading into the ocean and river walking too. The best part? I was getting paid for this! I had to recover two SLDMBs that washed up on shore in East Dover. The second half of the bushwhack also saw me carrying about 40 lbs of very awkwardly shaped ocean drifters. Ended up in some guy's back yard. It was probably a strange sight, but fortunately I think he was high so it was probably just a SNAFU for him.

Fucking ISO audit tomorrow... working late past midnight. Mowed the lawn and picked up apples earlier, glad to stay close to home with the boy just in case. He's seemingly better today. Was late to work this morning on account of the late night, so I had to work OT just to get the 9 to 5 in before I even got to this ISO business.

weight:244lbs (rest day)
Unplanned rest day. Had to rush my boy to the ER because he was having a hard time breathing. He was excited about the ambulance ride, even if he wasn't getting enough air at the time! Kid is a trooper and didn't complain one bit. Tough like his dad. He only got upset when he found out he couldn't ride home in the ambulance.
No word yet on the cause of the trouble, hoping to get into the GP tomorrow.

Felt like ass, but had a decent ride on the L-Town loop original direction all the same.
Sunday Aug 22, 2010 #
MTB 1:10:00 [3] 17.0 km (4:07 / km)
weight:242lbs
No data, odometer said 17 km. Had plans for an epic ride, but Jodi's freewheel started to go so we limped home.

Running 35:00 [2] 5.0 km (7:00 / km)
weight:241.5lbs
Kind of crampy... painted all morning then had to do a quick one, not my best work.

Road Riding 1:30:04 [3] 43.56 km (2:04 / km)
ahr:146 max:176 weight:244.5lbs
L-Town Loop + Seaforth... original forward direction. Garmin strap was broken, so I couldn't see speed etc. thus I got a little complacent and day dreamed a bit hence the low avg. speed.

Road Riding 44:15 [2] 13.32 km (3:19 / km)
weight:243lbs
Hill repeats towing 50 lbs of boy and Chariot. The trick is to get as many repeats in as possible before a freak-out or he falls asleep.
Didn't get that many.

Running 51:17 [3] 8.01 km (6:24 / km)
weight:242.5lbs shoes: XT Wings 2
Almost didn't run tonight... but talked myself into it after a 1.5 km dog walk. Glad I did, it felt good and I got a bit of extra distance in.

Road Riding 1:27:47 [3] 43.49 km (2:01 / km)
ahr:169 max:196 weight:235.5lbs
I wish I was losing the weight as opposed to being dehydrated and not having supper. Still, nice ride on the L-Town plus Seaforth route. Tried going harder on the hills and easier on the flats, but the avg speed wasn't as strong. However, neither was I today!

Road Riding 1:10:02 [4] 35.28 km (1:59 / km)
ahr:176 max:192 weight:239.5lbs
239.5? Oh yea, didn't eat yet and kind of dehydrated.
Wicked hard start, kind of tired towards the end. Did the L-Town loop, backwards again (maybe the new forwards.) Personal best.

C1 1:30:00 [3]
50 km/hr winds and ocean surf... got some serious stability training in!
Played some tennis that night too, just combining it with the C1 because I don't play tennis enough to make it's own category.

First two.five with the dog. Ditched him at home and did another four.ish. Hot. Humid. Felt good though.

Road Riding 1:05:24 [2] 28.87 km (2:16 / km)
weight:245.5lbs
Commute home with a few detours at the end. The actual route home was ~3 km longer than usual and I took about 12 minutes less! Way faster, and nicer too!

Running 38:12 [4] 6.13 km (6:14 / km)
weight:241lbs shoes: XT Wings 2
Dropped the boy and the dog at 2.5 km, kept going. Had painted the house all day so it was nice to get out!
