it's hot..

The heat has been kicking my butt. My nutrition/hydration plan seems to be a bit off because I consistently get "tight legs" around the 60 mile mark. I'm going to do a little research this week and try and take a different approach for next week's long ride and to do a little more work on my heat acclimatization.

Training front is going okay. I've made SIGNIFICANT changes to my training plan for Florida, mainly to aid in the recovery. I'm getting older and I don't heal the way I use to :) This was my first week with the new schedule/workouts and it went well. Hopefully I'll keep things going and stay focused for Florida.

It's been a lazy summer here at the Coco house. It's been so hot that it's been hard to do anything outside that doesn't involve a swimming pool. We are going on vacation from July 22nd - 31st. We will be heading back to Louisiana for a few days and then to Gulf Shores, Alabama. While in Gulf Shores I'm going to go to "surf school". I'm really excited because it's something I've always wanted to try out. Hopefully we will have decent waves while I'm there.

Not much else to report. Just looking forward to vacation and getting out of DFW for a few days.
