actually legs were not that tired today but the leg knee was tender from yesterday's spill. we will have to see how swimming goes while the knee is scabbing over. Today was a long run of 18min/2:23. my run was at town lake and the temps were mild compared to yesterday. midway thru the run if poured rain for 10min which made the shoes a little heavier. I was pleased with my overall effort and the fact that my pace and HR remained consistent thru out. The legs felt fine for the 1st 10miles or so but i did start to noticed soreness in areas i wasn't use to feeling it in. near the end my feet were starting to hurt but i had plenty in the tank to keep going. one mistake i made was not having a race day b-fast which made the stomach feel a bit iffy early on. during the run i ate 4 gels and some salt pills and drank about 64oz of water (no sports drink). i am pretty sure the legs will feel like pure crap tomorrow. good thing its a recovery day with only some light swimming on the schedule. this last 4 days has been the toughest training i have ever had in a stretch like that. hope it pays off in AZ. each day i feel more confident that i can finish in 10hrs as long as i race my race, focus on my nutrition plan, and avoid any mishaps. should be an interesting day april 15th!!!!!!!!!
