Six (6) weeks training down, Eight (8) more weeks to race day.

The weather is rediculous. I went out for a ride at 8:00 am this morning-(Saturday). After yesterdays torrential rains, the sky was quite clear and the road dry.

Ten kms into the ride and I was a ball of sweat---and this was to be 25kms at at race pace--tough it out I guess. Checked the weather when I got home and it was 100% humidity--how can that be and it is not raining? I hate humidity and don't perform well to say the least.

Basically pleased with the week and feel I have nice base, and no injuries- 4 good rides, 2 swims, and 2 paddles.

Now that the Tour de France (Wembledon, British Open, etc) is over, Nancy and I have our mornings back.

We hope to get:
-some work done around the house.
-some camping/travelling done.
-really get a serious schedule set up for the next month----doing double ups, increase in distances and intensities, and look at discipline transitions (I'm going to be slow enough doing the stuff, no sense losing time in between)
