I don’t typically screen scrape race photos. I buy them. But despite having an account with finisherpix.com, because I wasn’t registered for the event, I couldn’t buy the photos. I found myself in the middle of the Harvest Moon Triathlon last Sunday as part of my 20 mile run. Copy left. And really, who names an event “Harvest Moon” in May?

I ran back-to-back 20 milers last weekend. Felt good in both of them. Today, I started walking after 18 miles. The heat got to me. I drank over 2 pounds of electrolytes but sweated out 9 pounds of fluid. I’m going to have to start wearing a reservoir to carry more hydration than my two 500ml bottles – which is only 2.2 pounds. Running in the heat will be needed to train for the next marathon, which is mid-August.
