I don't think I prepared mentally or physically for my workout today. Right from the get-go I was worrying about what a long chore it was gonna be and sure enough I talked myself into it. I think it all started out with the fact that I couldn't get my ass in gear and in the end never left until 10 am. From a weather perspective it wasn't really a problem because we had a lot of cloud all day. It's just that every time I considered the reality that I wouldn't even be back home until 4 pm, and that I still had a run to put in afterwards, I got kind of resentful. I don't know who or what I would be resentful towards, but so be it.
I also did not prepare well physically, particularly the evening before. I ate the wrong things, and I ate too late. Next time out I need to simulate race day better, including diet and start time.
Speaking of diet, I ended up in the corn field after 5 kms of my run. That is not acceptable and hopefully was just a result of my bad eating last night. I will try to do better!
The final tally of my ride was 180 kms in a time of 5:52, and then a run jog of 7.3 kms. One more ride at this distance next weekend and it needs to feel perfect!
(ride 180 kms, 30.7 kms/hr, jog/walk 7.3 kms)

hey bro...sometimes I wonder if this has lost it's appeal for you and has just become a chore. If that's the case, it's ok to see it through and not do it again, OR just stop and do something else. Maybe you are realising that there are other things you would rather do...
