REDEMPTION DAY .....WORKWORKS!!!!!

After Saturday's disappointing workout I got up this morning feeling sore but pumped for a workout.  A buddy was going out for a ride and a run and wanted to be pushed a little so I thought maybe I could be the guy for that.

Again here in Iowa the weather this am was very humid but comfortable.  Very calm wind when we started out put it picked up straight put of the south.

Nutrition on the bike was one bottle of Infinite=250 cals.

Very satisfied with todays overall workout and giving it a rating of 8/10.  Today was suppose to be a day off but I have decided to make this my big bike and run week.  Minimum of 2-3 hours of biking per day and a 30-45 minute run.  Taking Friday off to have 24 hours of rest for the Okiboji Tri this coming Saturday.
Following the Endurance Nation Intermediate Ironman plan...well I veer off once in awhile but hardly miss a prescribed workout.
