Notes
Warrenville to Glen Ellyn and hamstrings felt fine. Forgot HRM and probably paced myself better without it although the air was just oppressive. I bitched about it to some bikers at the mile 5 water stop and felt better. Then saw Dan & Todd at next water break in Glen Ellyn and had a brief chat which was good because it gave me some accountability to finish. Still took a few walk breaks where I hit stop on 'uphills' after about 13.5 miles, but had gone out about 8.4 so I still made 16 miles about half a mile before I was back in Warrenville. Felt so drained could barely walk that without stopping. Hopefully 18 next week will be cooler. Then cut back week, Fox Valley 20, and then nothing over 16 until next year!
