In this case, focus on using the downhills to get most of the way up the inclines in order to retain enough energy to make it back up all the hills in higher gears.

That's how life and work is. You adjust, refocus, improvise, and work a little smarter.

I also shortened up the transition run after the long bike ride (I've NEVER been on a bike for 3 straight hours!) from 15 minutes to about half that. It felt good to run for a bit but I knew when to call it a day.

Oh yeah, and Monday, I'll get the bike fixed.
