More Running and Riding

I took Monday completely off. I figured that was the best way to start the taper plus I was exhausted from the race Sunday. The taper program doesn't seem to be reducing the output much. It still has a good track workout this week, 4:30 ride on Saturday and 2 hour run on Sunday.

Tuesday morning was a real slow 8 mile run with GS and Nemo. MD is out of town this week. Nemo wasn't feeling up to par so he had to use the dreaded Port-o-John at Antrim. Bad scene. The run out was laughably slow, 4 miles in 37 minutes. GS and I had slowed down to wait for Nemo and we never picked the pace back up.

Nemo joined me for an evening ride. He was feeling spunky and managed to get 3 of the 8 sprint signs. It was a good show of strength. It turned into a nice set of interval though over the last hour and a half. I got home, had a bit to eat and then it was off to bed. 4:30am alarm Wednesday so I can be in the water at Alum Creek at 5:45am.
