AM: 21 mile progression run. This run was kind of strange since we had to dodge some flooded spots in the middle sections and because I had some strange blood sugar issues.  I started fine then at three shot bloks at 1hr. 20 minutes into the run. I did not eat breakfast this morning. Then I literally felt like I hit the wall a few miles into the last section but then all of a sudden I had energy again out of nowhere...the shot bloks must have kicked in and fueled me to the end. Lesson is that I need to eat a good breakfast two hours or so before race time, and carefully ingest simple carbs and more water during the race.

8:26, 7:48, 7:34, 7:32, 7:22, 7:28, 7:19

6:46, 6:50, 6:34, 6:35, 6:35, 6:48, 6:26

5:59, *7:22, 5:30, 5:30, *5:41, 5:34, 5:38

You can see that I went really fast on the last section. The 7:22 is wrong because the GPS was in the tunnel the whole time.I was going 5:40s pace or so then. the 5:30s were too fast but I decided to keep going...the 5:41 is when the monkey jumped on my back but I finished strong in 5:34-38. I did this after a 100 mile week. Obviously the intense training is really working. However, I really put the petal to the metal and I'm hurting now...a touch of the intense pain and hurt I'll experience in the latter stages of the marathon: the worst pain I've ever endured in my life.

PM: 40 min. Pool run
