Started the morning with a run in the heat and the wind.  It was very hot and a little humid this morning with a pretty strong wind.  My legs were really tired this morning with the run.  I am assuming this is because I did not workout every day last week and my body is still trying to build up some endurance from being sick last week.  I think the heat and humidity played a role too.  I made it through the 5 miles but not my fastest run by far.

AP:  8:12

Followed my run with a swim.  I tried the snorkel and it was difficult for me.  I kept getting water in my nose and had to stop and recover from this.  I am not sure why.  I was not breathing through my nose, water would just get in the nose.  I guess it is something that will take some time to get use to.  I thnk I could swim faster and push a little harder when I did not have water in my nose.  Swim took 39 minutes which is a lot slower than usual but I had to stop a lot to clear the nose.  I am not going to give up on the snorkel...  Change just takes time.

Keep at it. I think you will really like it once you figure it out.

Are you still up for a 40 mile ride tomorrow?
