After last night's 1 mile swim, I came home and made a small mushroom pizza for dinner and went to bed relatively early.  At 7 a.m. I started my brick workout — 1/2 mile run, 19 mile bike, 6 mile run.  Between that and the ride to/from I tacked on a few more bike miles and burned well over 1400 calories according to my heart rate monitor.  Starting to get used to those big hills at the north side of the park — maybe I'll do them one more time before the race, but I'm feeling pretty good.  Plus, it turns out that a week cycling in Bordeaux on a heavy bike really strengthened my legs!!  I can't remember the last time I accomplished this much before 10:30 a.m.  Probably last summer around this time . . .
