After a serious ride to the summit of Mt. Diablo yesterday, I got up this morning and ran a HR Zone 2 10 mile run.
I could tell from the first minute my legs were tired from the ride yesterday. They weren't stiff. Just felt tired/fatigued. I kinda figured this was going to be the case. But I just went on.
I was fine for the first 7 miles and then I started fading. I was getting warm (it was 83 degrees when I got home) and I could see I was having a bit of cardiac drift. I stopped at a Starbucks at mile 8 and used the bathroom to cool down a bit and drink a bunch of water.
At about mile 8.5 I started feeling better and finished the last mile or so in good shape.
Burned ~ 1,700 calories on the run.
Got home and powered a Myoplex Deluxe Protein Shake and I added 8oz. of skim milk, a whole Fuji apple and a banana and tossed it all in the blender. Break down is:
Protein: 63 grams
Carbs: 90 grams
Fat: 5.5 grams
I will eat a good lunch in a few minutes.
Overall, I feel tired but good. For my first "big" weekend of tri training in a long time I am happy how I am doing after just two weeks of serious training.
But I went too much. I am going to throttle back a bit to not get injured. :-) Plus, I am starting MARATHON training. Tri training officially begins in January!
Oh well, call me "passionate" about endurance sport. :-)
