47 miles today. Started off strong but was tired at mile 35 and came home the short way t0 finish at 47 miles instead of 55. Just ran out of gas. The scale said I wasn't dehydrated but it may have been the heat, although I started at 7 am. It will hit around 103 today. Vitals: 156, 6% body fat and 60% hydrated.
Tomorrow, off to Italy. Need to take my bike apart and pack tonight.

Welcome!
Welcome to my daily blog about me exercising. Sounds exciting? Not. But if you are a FOD (Friend of Doug) or looking for a virtual workout bud, read on. Throughout the year I hope to ride in RAGBRAI as well as in Italy. I have ridden in Italy the past three years and done the RAGBRAI once, as well as the Ride The Rockies 3 times. Also the NY Marathon three times. And I bill myself as the world's slowest triathlete. Truly! Hard to find anyone who trains regularly who is slower than I am! No brag. Just fact. Enjoy.
