"Heaven Help Me!"

If I ever have to compete in an Ironman on a day like today it would be an adventure. I know that just the other day I told you the hotter the better, but when you couple that with strong winds it just kinda sucks.  Into the wind I suffered big time,  and with the wind I sweat like a pig.  The humidex reached 37 and the winds were 20 km/hr with periods of much higher.  

I managed to get my 160 kms in but it was not pretty...or at least not compared to my record setting effort of 2 weeks ago.  I drank a total of 5 litres of water and consumed 1500 calories and still came back almost 5 pounds lighter.  I was however proud of my 5 km run right afterwards as it was really, really hard.  In the end I averaged 30.4 kms/hr, and then ran the 5 kms in 24 minutes.

I'm okay with that, but now I'm tired!
