The Florida great Escape was a rough day at the office for me to say the least.
I got lost the day before while trying to do some recoinassance out on the run course, and ended up on a 7 mile jog through orange groves ( and a few people's private property - I am sorry to whoever you are!).
I never felt quite right from the start, and my body never really went to 5th gear ( or 4th gear, for that matter.) I was not tired, but couldn't bring my body to race mode. I tried a few times, and got shut down a few times. But I decided to continue and have a nice training day on some fancy equipment. On the run, had to stop and run bak to a bathroom in the park's entrance. I will now cross off Starbucks Vanilla Frappucinos fro my race morning menu.
Next weekend I will toe the line at the Ft. DeSoto Olympic Triathlon. Hopefully things will be better then.
Until then, I will be a my home in Gainesville pouding in some more miles.
Ciao,
Felipe Bastos
