I dropped the IM Augusta 70.3. Even though my knee is better, it still isn't up to where I (my coach & sports doc) feel that I can strike out a 13.1 mile run with no problems. So I'm doing 3 additional olympic distance race (Lake Point Tri in Eufala/ Tri Fall Creek Falls in Pikeville, TN/Callaway Gardens Tri in Georgia. The race in TN is the day after Mt Lakes Sprint in Guntersville. It's going to be a rough weekend. My sports doc recommended that I do a HIM distance race with an AquaBike division a month or two out from Florida. I looked around and the closest one I could find was the HalfMax Championship race in Myrtle Beach the first weekend of October. An AquaBike Division race is just as you would think...the swim and bike portions only. It is a half ironman distance race so I'll be swimming 1.2 miles and biking 56 miles.
It's time to get my nutrition dialed in. No more "1 last bad meals." I'd love to get down to 190 before November. I know I can do; I'm just going to have to be disciplined and "keep my eye on the prize."
Eric's Clip of the Day: This was a video I found. Chris "Macca" McCormack spent some time down on the plains training. Pretty cool. I couldn't get the embed so you'll have to hit the link.
