Earlier in the summer I may have said that I felt like I wasn't sweating enough. I am happy to report that today's workout produced more sweat than I was used to.
Not sure if my body is just getting used to the heat or my increase in salty foods is helping with my water retention.
Today's workout was a 1.5 hour ride and a 5 mile run. Stats weren't that important, I felt fine though.
Recover included Clif electrolyte mix w/ a raw egg and added sugar, small bowl of rice w/ soy sauce, half a sweet potato w/ salt + pepper and now I'm eating dinner (rice + stewy meat w/ oxtail). Pretty ghetto recovery but I've been lazy this week.
Just some notes. Cranked up my bike seat quite a bit. Not sure if I went on my last ride w/ it too low...very odd. Quads started burning early so that was my cue to raise the seat.
Ordered a ridiculous looking helmet...and decided to wear the jersey I bought at REI for $4 for the tri. Probably will rock Nike running shorts for the bike ride and run.
I'm curious to see what I can crank out w/ continuous pedaling and not having to worry about traffic etc. I think I'd be happy w/ 16.5 mph which would put my saddle time to ~6.5 hours during the tri.
No major updates and no injuries, yay! I credit my consumption of stewy stuffs for staying away from injuries.
Oh, I may experiment w/ putting together my own gel. My base would be:

Highlights are, maltose and glucose and then sucrose and fructose should make it sweet. It also claims to have a touch of protein. Anyways, this would be super cheap and it's always fun to play around.
