103 miles, 17.6 mph, 128 bpm

Rode with Stephen and Nathan.  Felt good the whole ride.  Never cramped or felt bad.  My heart rate climbed with the temperature though.  Had to push it a bit the last 10 miles to keep my pace up.  It was hot and into the wind.  All in all, I was happy with the ride.

Rode with Nathan, Ethan, Matt, and Jeff. I felt good this morning, so I expected this to be a good ride. It took it very easy the first half of the ride. I thought I might be able to push it a bit the last half, but that was a mistake. I started to cramp the last 5 miles. I ate 6 waffles (600 calories) 5 bottles of Perform (700 calories) and had 3 gels (300 calories) during the ride. I only had 250 calories per hour. Looks like I might need more than that. The last hour was hot and the wind was in our faces.

Longest long run

This was my longest long run before the race.  It felt pretty good. I tried to keep my heart rate around 140.

I felt great today, the last couple of miles going downhill were fun. I thought I was going to run the last few miles with Nathan but he was too fast and beat me back to the game. I was able to run under a 9 minute mile the last mile.
