Mountain Bike (City Forest) 2:01:44 [3] 15.6 mi (7.7 mph)
ahr:115
MS-1 pack on. Feeling fatigued from yesterday's run, but had a workout to do, so I just decided to get through it. Wanted to get the HR into the 130s, but this is about all my body had to offer today. Surprisingly, I believe that I came in at the same time from my full lap today as I did last week, when I held a higher HR average. Not quite sure how that happened.
Run (Trails) 2:53:05 [3] 10.6 mi (16:20 / mi)
ahr:128
This was something resembling a run. My legs had nothing and I just couldn't seem to go any faster than this. I promised myself to just keep moving for the time allotted, but it was hard not to walk (seriously, that pace looks like I walked, but I didn't except maybe a few seconds a couple times)
The first hour wasn't too bad. I asked myself the question "Would you be happy with how you feel right now if you were 16 hours into a race?" and the answer was yes for about the first hour and a half. By 2 hours in, I REALLY wanted to just stop and walk or stop altogether. I guess it's good mental training if nothing else.
