Sunday - swim/long run, Today, 2000 meter swim and 1:45 run.

Alarm goes off at 6:00 a.m. There's thunder in the distance. I get my gear ready. I figure I'll run before the gym opens and then swim at Bally's. I walk outside and the sky opens up!

By the time I get to the gym, 10 minutes later, the rain has slowed. (I don't mind running in the rain.)

I head out at about 7:00 a.m. for my run with my two premixed water bottles (Heed/Perpetuem), my iPod shuffle and my Garmin (again).

It's hot. And 30 minutes into the run -- how do I put this delicately -- I have to go. You know. Number two.

Most people associate Saturday mornings with waking up late and a nice breakfast. For those training for endurance events, it means getting up almost as early as during the week and doing the "long" workouts.

Today's workout was a 3 to 4 hour bike ride, the longest to date. Since last week I rode for three hours, I was thinking I'd try for four this week; it's what I anticipate I might be on the bike for during the actual event.

I ended up doing 3:42 and boy was it hard. This is the longest amount of time I've ever spent on the bike. By two hours in, I wanted to quit. By 3 hours, I was figuring four wasn't gonna happen but I knew it was still a good workout.

How does this reltte to business?
