I slept a little later than planned this morning. I just didn't get up for some reason. My plan was for 2600 yards. I had to stop at 2300 and get to work. I used my new 910XT. It must mark laps by arm movement and change of direction. It didn't track distance when I used the kickboard. It added 25 yards on my way out of the pool as backstroke. Oh well, it was still cool the way it worked in the pool. I have some more data to pour over now.

On the way home from work, it looked like rain was coming from the west. It never rains in August. I decided to go eat with the family and then ride when I got home. I was going to get some interval work in for about 40 minutes tonight. When we got home from dinner, I looked at the radar and was about to give in. Joe sent me and Rich and motivational video he found. It made me want to go ride so I checked the radar. Still looked far enough way to get 40 minutes in so I took off. I was going to do my intervals on Parkway after I crossed over Denton Tap. The rain started at the CARC. When I crossed Denton Tap to start my first interval, the skies opened. Oh my god, it was a deluge. The lightning started next. At least 5 cracks of lightning over my head and it seemed like one of them hit a tree 5 feet from me. Loudest thing I have ever heard. I tried to get home as fast as I could. Lost cause for tonight. I'll ride again tomorrow.
