Goal was a 12 mile tempo around marathon goal pace, adjusted for the heat. Clearly a stupid idea in the heat, and even dumber waiting until 10 to start. Bailed after 7 miles, but should have bailed at the start.

Wanted to PR but it was just way too hot and humid - went for my B goal of breaking 40:00. Made it with a full second to spare!! Dumped water over my head at each aid station which helped a lot. Kept Kaci mostly in site, made it feel like a normal workout :) Good times with Gary W, Trevor, DK, and more! Got little trophy which looks just like an old bowling trophy of mine which made me laugh :)

Holy humidity! Time goals went out the door pretty quick. Ran alone most of the way - too slow for the pack in front of me and just fast enough to stay ahead of the group behind me. Fun race though, ran the warmup and cooldown with Kaci, Miguel, Wasse, and Daren, and hung around afterwards for cake and soda (not Scott's "soda"). This race will pay off come fall!

I had a fun day at the State Games of America. I finished third in the 1,500 and third in the 800 meter runs. My time in the 1,500 was 5:24 and for the 800 I ran 2:36. Both times were a bit better than the goals I had set, so I am a happy camper.

Solo run from Karay's. Headed south on 36th and head a nice cooling headwind through 4 in the 7:40 range. Got the tail wind and got very hot and the wheels started to come off coming back on the hills of 25th St. Stopped to walk the last half mile...shorts and shoes completely soaked. Knee and glute felt ok but still mild pain. Heat was the issue today.

Tender ankle and tight back and hamstrings from yardwork yesterday. Started out pretty easy and never really felt that zippy. Just a moderate effort ride. All sorts of pivots up by the roads, but only 1 was irrigating! Got just a little cooling mist off that one. Otherwise just a warm, humid ride...

Capping off the mileage and getting Mia out before it was too hot. Typically, I would have waited until the evening, but not today with the heat. Had fun! Stopped under each bridge to get Mia doused in water! Used my HR hat to see what my HR would be after a race and in the heat.

My first time racing this and it was tough! I wasn't mentally into the race from the git-go, just from my worries about my grandpa. Being around all the positive attitudes from Trevor, Gary, Miguel, Josh, Daren, etc made me change my attitude! I told myself that grandpa would want me to be running and racing to the best of my ability. So, that was what I did. I got out in what I felt like I could sustain in the conditions and with the sneaky rolling hills. I passed 3 men in the first mile then was in solo land for the rest. The two men ahead of me were too far ahead for me to keep in range. So, it made me really focus on myself, my effort, and keeping my mind into the race. The end is so brutal. They make you climb up this steep switchback for the last tenth...so mean!! I am pleased with the effort and pretty well even pacing.

6:15, 6:12, 6:17, 6:19, 6:12, 6:16, and change

Took about 1.25 miles for the legs to loosen up a bit. Had the 9th fastest run time on the day.

First triathlon sine about 1998 and first with an open water swim since 1995. Struggled with the swim, worked hard on the bike, and then had a pretty decent run. I think I could do pretty well if I'd truly focus and train. It would also help if I wasn't hauling around 10 extra pounds. Got to get going on the weight loss before Boston training starts.

Tough swim. First open water swim in 20 years and I haven't been able to swim for a month. Kinda freaked out early on in the scrum. Did a lot of it as backstroke. Probably should have worn a wetsuit as a safety blanket.

3 solo then off to the Z with the fam. 2 double stroller style while Pat and Nora quickly went back to get her bike. Realized I had the keys so headed back to the car to meet them. They were nowhere to be found. Hudson got on the bike and we went back out thinking we'd run into them about halfway around the west side. Didn't see them. The whole way. They had gone over to the BR. Thankfully Hudson did well on the bike. The farthest he'd gone before this was about a mile. Ay yi yi. Time for bed.

Estimated milez in a G.F.Z. Plan was 3 hours, easy/aerobic effort on a hilly course. So I parked at 42nd & Farnam and did multiple loops out and back on Dodge, Farnam and Leavenworth...hillz--CHECK! Thankfully I was out for an early start and tried to keep a cool head throughout.

Estimated distance as the Garmin shut down about half way in. Mike's knee was not happy.

Had the pleasure of attending the Dana cross country reunion and Coach Jay Birmingham 70th birthday bash in Omaha. Always felt Coach created a great group of kids. They've turned in to a great group of young adults and parents. Great to see Rockyfe, Ben and Angie Sandy, many other great runners. Thanks to Rocky for the special mention of my support of Dana and the cross country program - made me feel good.
