Saturday: 4 mile run; 112 mile bike

a.m. Achilles is still bothering me and not sure what to do about it. Ran 4 recovery miles this morning. 9:10min/mi. Then hopped on the bike for 56 miles on the Florida 70.3 course. My heart rate was high for the first half of the ride relative to my power output, but may have been caused by drinking coffee right before (which I don't drink that often). I felt great otherwise and my heart rate soon settled halfway through the ride. Drank 32 oz of Gatorade and 1 L of water. Total ride was, FL: 2:40:44; 210w; 136bpm; 83rpm; 20.9mph. Even with with the high heart rate, the ride was still well within zone 1. I skipped the brick run due to my achilles.

p.m. Repeat of this mornings bike ride. No run. 56 miles on the Florida 70.3 course. Felt good throughout and am feeling very motivated. Total ride: FL: 2:41:18; 208w; 132bpm; 81rpm; 20.8mph
