Day 5: 85 degrees and sunburned

To much of a good thing can be a bad thing, and in our case its the sun. Temps have really started to heat up and our bodies have soaked in as much sun as they can handle. Oh well in two days its back to Boise so back out on the roads we go. Our plan for the day was to take things a little easier doing all three sports. We both didn't wake up till 9am so that's definitely a good start to taking it easy. Around 11am we hit the track for 30 min easy running followed by 4x200 fast.



Finishing a quick 200


Neil BangsWorkout #1 done now


Around noon we drove to the outdoor pool that we swam in yesterday. We had such a good time swimming outside that we wanted to take the opportunity to do it again. The swim set would be 500 swim, 20x50 band only, 30x100 pull for 5k total. I like doing this set because you can just relax and get into the "zone" for the 100's.


Me finishing up with paddles


Neil cooling down


Workout #2 done and some lunch I am spent..oh wait still have to bike!


Finishing up the evening with 2 hour bike


Racing the sun back to the hotel


That concludes day 5 here in the desert. We finished off the evening making a gourmet dinner in the room, sardines and potatoes. Tomorrow I will include some pictures of our kitchen!

P.S Tonight's sleep on this sunburn is going to be brutal, I think tomorrow we will skip the outdoor pool swim!

Until tomorrow.....
