Day 160

Day 160: Well today was a fun fulled day... well sorta. I was up at Lake Allatoona and in the water by 7 am. What a beautiful way to see a sunrise to. It was so peaceful at the lake and enjoying a nice morning swim seeing the sunrise was amazing. Overall it was a pretty good swim. I felt strong for about 50% of the swim. The rest I was just getting through it. Oh and I also have to say on the first loop we stopped at the rocks for a min and yes I got bit by a fish. Dang little bugger scared the crap out of me and yes I screamed like a girl. =) After the swim I had to hurry home and shower and get ready for my wiffle ball game (yes I am on a wiffle ball team and love it!). Wasn't my best game, but I  had a good inning of pitching and we WON!!! Go OG 2-0!!!! After the game grabbed a salad then it was time to head out for my run finally. Man that was the worst run EVER.
Me + Heat = Sick. I knew I didn't do well running in heat, but today really confirmed that again. I was actually looking forward to running later to get a feeling of running later in the day to simulate the time I would be running. I was hoping to get a 10-12 miler in but that didn't happen when I started feeling sick and felt like I was going to pass out. The bright side I got 5.5 miles in. A few things I learned I will never run in the afternoon again in this heat and I will never let myself sign up for IM Louisville. LOL. Tomorrow I hope to have a better 5 mile run after my bike ride.

Oh and not sure it I mentioned it but, the shirts I ordered for all my support team came in this week!!!! They look awesome and I can't wait to look for my support team with them on at the race!!!!
