Seventy-seven degrees, with 72% relative humidity. T2/T3 Brick Workout planned after a triple session Friday, and a long run and recovery swim yesterday. Averaging 28.8 km/hr, for 28 miles, with an irritated heart rate monitor. Grr.
At the beginning, the legs did not comply, which is not atypical, as they are stiff and irritable in the beginning, and I like that.
At the transition area (a playground), I dismounted, cleats off, shoes on, and began running. Two miles later I began to recall how to actually run again. To paraphrase IronWil (throughth3wall.com) Body was indecisive, but mind made the decision.
Seven miles later at 8:30 min/mi, I was one tired puppy.
But I know that I learned today. I pushed my run longer than the five miles I had envisioned myself doing. I am stronger for it, and I am more educated.
Oly-Distance I'm coming for you.
