AM/Lunch: 2 hour 4'. 194W. HR 132. 

Did a loop headed east on some of the Thursday Night Dirt roads and went after a KOM, but missed by 3 seconds. Maybe gave up a bit early, but my legs weren't feeling it. Still set a 1' personal best for power. Had a good ride and the roads were in really solid shape over there. Lots of rain coming in this afternoon and evening, so I am sure they will be a mess in places that were graded. Doesn't look like any good weather for Sunday anyway. Next week it looks to be in the 60s, so I will likely try to ride a bit in the afternoon even if it means cutting down on running and doubles. I seem to go back and forth with this. 

Probably a bit much before a running race but it was mostly quite easy and my running mileage has been cut back this week. 

PM: 3.4 miles in the rain, averaged 9:02. HR 144.

HR a bit elevated but I was a little anxious about being back to pick up the boys and I was ticked about the way the dermitologist's office didn't call me back concerning a biopsy. Running around 3 hours after a 2 hour ride didn't help.

Weather looks solid for tomorrow. Not thrilled about a 10k race being at 8:00 when I have to travel almost 90 minutes, but I will make it work. 

I've been out of the habit for too many years of writing down goal times for races, but I guess maybe it is time to start. 

C = 40'. I went through almost 10k in 40' high in a workout a couple weeks ago 

B = 39'

A = <= 38:30

I'd love to get under 38' but I don't think I have the leg speed for that currently. I think averaged anything in the 6:teens will be solid. I'd like it to be averaged closer to 6:10-6:12 or faster.
