Training Log: AliC

Running warm up/down 17:40 [1]

Over to the track and 2 laps warm up, a few strides.

Running race 10:20 [5] 3 km (3:27 / km) vdot: 56.7

3k time trial in wonderful sunlight! Used the outdoor UMass track.

Sanjay, Paul and Sergio joined me for the first 1k, Sergio kept with for the 2nd, then he dropped and Sanjay and Paul came back in for the final k. Felt pretty good and strong the whole way around, maybe starting to fade the second to last lap, but still had it to push in the last. Psyched to be under 10.30!

C • Nice! 10

Running warm up/down 19:00 [1]

Jogging a few laps with Sergio afterwards, then back to Lederle. Sanjay, Paul and Sergio did some more repeats, I was done. =)

Note

Just checked, and this is 8 sec faster than my run last year for Achilles at Franklin Field when we were racing Penn and Cornell. So I think that's a PR. Woo!

Running 17:15 [1]

Still really sore from the weekend, tried to go out for an Atkins run with Sanjay and Sergio, but was too sore, so just ran home after work instead. Will attempt the 3k time trial tomorrow though!

C • Will this effect your 3K time, or your work? 3

Event: US Team (unofficial) 3K time trial
 

XC skiing (skating) 1:08:00 [2]

Rainy, somewhat miserable skate at Bretton Woods. Didn't wear quite enough clothing and was really cold by the end, the showers and heated floor in the bathroom were the best things ever!!!

Also- they had a Swix clearance sale and I nabbed a nice new red 2 piece race suit for 40 bucks. Psyched! Have been feeling weird about not having a suit all winter, have been meaning to get one.

C • Don't you just love sales!?!! 2

3000m run - Splits

XC skiing race (classic) 3:05:58 [3]

Bretton Woods Ski Marathon, 50k Classic

And hadn't classic skied in 5 weeks, but hey time for a race! Conditions started out really icy and my orange klister did not stick around for long... should have rewaxed at the first aid station, but waited 10 extra k battling with slippy skis before slapping on a KR 40 + 60 mix which worked great the second lap. Dorcas passed me at about 10k, and I lost 4 min slipping around before 25k, then recovered about a minute on the second lap.

Was super lovely weather despite the rain everywhere else- gorgeous views of Mt. Washington!
