Saturday - What I wanted to do was a 30 mile bike ride and 5 mile run. What I did was lose my Garmin on the bike ride, then lose my wedding ring while searching for the Garmin.
Sunday - Goal was to warm up with 8:30 min/mile then knock out 9 mile at 7:10, followed by 8:30's for a total of 18 miles. Wife was a gem to ride her bike with me to let me know every 1/2 mile that went by. However, my warmup was too fast, the first few miles at race pace were too fast, and my nutrition plan was horrible. Took a PowerBar Gel at 30 min, 45 min, 75 min, then whenever I remembered. These are about 22 calories each, so I planned on taking one every 15 min. Left the endurolyte pills in the car. It was very hot and humid, so if I ever needed them, Sunday was the time. Whatever... it was a good workout and I had good company. It just wasn't the race rehersal that I wanted.

Sucks about the wedding ring, did you ever recover/find it? I lost a valued cross to the bottom of a pool floor, it sucks to put it best.
Ummm, PowerGels are 110 kcal per gel not 22 kcal.
You've got one badass wife to ride by your side, you better be nice to her.
Garmin and ring are still MIA. The gels were the little gummy things that take 6 per serving (130 total).
