Drought!

Drought! It has been such until July came. All this week, its been raining cats & dogs! Seems like the water restrictions should be lifted by now.

Saturday agenda-race

Well, race if I decided to travel to 'kingdom come'. Nothing within my normal range, not even Naples! It was much farther and I don't like long trips right after work. I had not done a truly long run since spring, I think; today is the day! However, I picked a doozy of a day. Most rains began mid day to evening but not this day. I began with only the streets wet (no rain) but a few miles in, it began and not just a drizzle. On top of that, I didn't feel so good internally (even had to use the restroom) so I was much slower. I thank the Lord for allowing me to finish what I started but am very disappointed with the performance, even with poor external conditions. At least I got in the mileage (14) with the Rick as the turn around.

Sunday agenda-race

I found some events if I were willing to travel:

1. Utah super spartan previous day.
2. moss park du/tri/aqua in Orlando, sprint on Saturday, Olympic this day
3. muddy buddy  in Detroit

However, I passed on those and decided to train. Since I usually cycle on Mondays, I pulled out my inlines & skated 1.1 miles short of a half marathon. My watch quit so the time was unknown but the estimated time was much slower than normal, much like that long run.
