Hottest day of the year!

Today was always going to be tough following the 5 hours on the bike yesterday, but add to that the heat and it was always going to be challenging.  A brick session was in store today which is a one hour bike followed by a 75 minute run - strong winds added to the challenge but kept the temperature down.  My legs felt great on the bike and I practiced my feeding on the bike which is so important.  During the run I was staying hydrated and feeling good but towards the end my legs could feel the effort from the weekend.  This doesn't concern me as it is all about your mindset - mine today was set for the task which was completed in the appropriate time and on 15 August the mindset will be on the three aspects of the event.
Plenty food to follow and even a couple of pints of Guinness (which contains iron!) as tomorrow is a day off.
