Observations, heat, and plans for the weekend

Observations: the last couple of weeks have been crazy but I have still made time to get in some good training. I have been diligent in the pool with drills and I think it is paying off. I did 750 m repeats the other morning and negative split the sets. My long runs have been in the 6-8 mile range and have been fun. My tri season is heating up with Wrightsville Beach in 2 weeks and then the B2B 1/2 in November. Its going to be a good time.

Heat: I am tired of the heat. Several of my morning runs have been great due to the 64-68°F temps but the sun came back out this week and it sucks. I am ready for fall. I did 1000 m repeats last night in the heat and humidity - not my best night at all. I almost long for the marathon training weather - 35°F with sleet - well maybe not quite that extreme but I am looking forward to highs in the mid 60's and cool morning runs.

Plans: I am doing my first 100K ride tomorrow. My buddy Dave and I are starting about 8:30 (after we get the kids to school). I have a 30 mile out and back course so it should be fun. I have been planning my food and drink intake for several days - I hope it all works. We are planning 2 more 60 miler rides before B2B in November.
We are going to celebrate my Dads 75th birthday this weekend so I don't know about a Sat run but am hoping to get one in Sunday evening after the festivities are complete.
