HOT !
Even the early morning run got me soaked, followed by a 50 minute swim in my pond. Even that water was hot on top, unlike the pool water which is hot top to bottom. Then a bike ride. By then it was even hotter and I had to start digging a little deeper. Workout time in, I thought, "Why not just push on through and do more."
Then the little wise man on my shoulder shouted louder than the little idiot on the other shoulder, "NO"!!
It is not gut-check time; no time to go any deeper into yourself. This is not race day. Digging down, tearing down to the point of requiring tons of recovery, should be reserved for the race effort. And what might such an effort do to my ability to train the next few days.
Racked the bike in the truck feeling satisfied with the decision and looking forward to my three hour bike ride tomorrow.
