Eagleman

Eagleman was sweltering - 95 degrees and 75% humidity. That compared to the 90 degrees, but only 13% humidty in Colorado today.

Ragbrai has days like that. Cross country in high school had days like that... It was pretty rough for me. Normally I'm bad about hydration, but at Eagleman there was no choice. 28oz/hr on the bike and who knows how much water on the run. I'd grab two cups, drink half of one, pour the other one on my head and slowly pour and ounce or two every hundred yards or so to the next rest stop. After I figured out that I needed to carry water from stop to stop, I probably was 30sec/mile faster than the first 6 miles.

Didn't figure out any was to cool off on the bike. Just no where to go. Every time I tried to push the pace - just started to get nauseous and had to back off.

Anyway - disappointing time 6:01:24. Master's swim - here I come... Need a bike fit and some racing flats that won't get as waterlogged as normal running shoes do.
