A few schedule changes this week with the holiday. I just registered for the Firecracker 10K, my first race as Bee 2.0!! It's the O'Fallon 4th of July race I did in 2014. This year it's on a Wednesday, thus necessitating the schedule change.

BE texted last night that due to a sore knee he was skipping today's ride and tomorrow's run. So I was on my own with my music (two songs added, Journey and Oasis, for the 2018 songlist) and the heat. Wonderfully humid and hot, light sun, no wind, and all around gorgeous.  First interval was a little over 16 mins, 2nd was 16 mins, 3rd was 15:54. Yes! By the last interval, in which I did start-of-the-straightaway "sprints", had me worn out so that by the end I could barely stand on the pedals.

Pre ride was 2-3 egg yolks, half T of butter, some parma cheese, and that was a bit too much. Dial back on the cheese, didn't need it. But yes, no carbs today and not much yesterday. See what happens. In a Primal Blueprint pod this morning, Brad talked about being very LC and feeling good in workouts, but then crashing in energy in 36-48 hours. He realized the workout was fueled by cortisol and adreneline. But he also fasted 14-some hours post workout, I didn't do that. Last week after Monday and Tuesday's workouts I had a bad energy crash. Want to avoid that again.

The run was as expected weak. I did short 2-5 minute intervals due to post-ride fatigue. I haven't been doing brick runs for this reason. But this swaps my schedule such that I run today, not tomorrow, and should be ready to go again for the 10K on Wednesday.

As I type, I'm feeling good and even skipped lunch. Eek, not recovery type of activity.

Oh and I called up again SlowTwitch's Guppy Swim challenge. Reading over now.
