We'll start with the run last night. I ran 4 miles last night starting at around 6:30pm. I definitely didn't feel great through the first two miles before the turnaround. The last two miles were steady and I settled in nicely. It was a little humid and in the low 80s for the run. I didn't bother taking any water or gel. It was a short run. I think the run was about 36 minutes which equates to about 9 minute miles.
When I woke up this morning my right hip was a little sore. The temps were in the low 70s. I left the house at 7:54am. The plan today called for 3 hours and 30 minutes on the bike. The winds were from the south at 11-13 when I started and were easily 15+ by the time I finished. I decided to head out to the Whitehouse with a detour through Murrell Park at Lake Grapevine. I knew it would be slower coming home with the wind in my face. I made to the turnaround in an 1:40. My plan worked out perfectly and I hit the garage at exactly 3 hours and 30 minutes. The weather looked pretty rough at times. I had a few sprinkles but the rain held off. It's supposed to storm this afternoon and tonight. I was very diligent about the gel intake every 30 minutes and water or Accelerade every 15 minutes. I came across two other guys in Bartonville and we played leap frog on the bike for about 10 miles. We finally split apart in Flower Mound.

After the ride today, I met the guy I bought my wetsuit from. Looks good. I brought it home but haven't tried it on yet. I have been watching my mighty Crimson Tide and Ironman Kona on the laptop.
