Falling Behind

on the blogging anyway ...

Let's see...went to see the drag races at Bandemere on Friday night. It was amazing...the top fuel cars are SO loud you can feel the noise in your chest....and all the way done in your feet. It's crazy! I'll post some pics soon.

Coaching for FastForwardSports is going great. I've got a great bunch of athletes and everyone is really nice.

Raced the Stroke and Stride last Thursday. Did fine, decent swim and an okay run. then went out for Margs with a bunch of friends. It was my birthday...next year I race in a new age group! Unfortunately it's the 40-44....it's even faster than the a.g. I'm in now

Sunday did the BAM open water swim at the Res. 2 miles, kept it pretty easy. Came in at 55 mins. Not great, but it was pretty easy. That would be 1:06 for ironman. Not great, but it would work. Then went out for 5 hours on the bike. Practiced my nutrition of 250cals/hr. That seems to be about right. I drank quite a bit, but still ended up with a headache after about 4 hours. It was hot, low 90s. I didn't have my salt tablets with me....I'm thinking that was the difference. I did get my calories from perpetum and I had 30 oz of Gatorade Endurance, but that's not much sodium. I'll be sure to add the salt to the test during the next long ride.

All in all life is good.
