Wednesday Aug 9 | ||
| cycling 18:53 [2] | |
| Borrowed Rudy's bike and took the campground road to Happy Jack Trail, to Tie City Campground. This includes the whole ride there, but I didn't count most of the ride back since there was so much coasting downhill. | ||
| running (Happy Jack map) 29:08 [3]*** 3.24 mi (8:59 / mi) | |
| shoes: New Balance 767 | ||
| Started at the corner of the Happy Jack map. Ran the trail out to get used to it a little and read the contours looking through the woods. When I got near these 2 rock features, I stopped my watch while I walked around and picked out each black triangle and bare rock area. The most important things I learned:
1-Bare rock on contours is as noticable as boulders on the ground, although it's not as eye-catching on the map. 2-Single boulders aren't very useful. 3-The contours are the most helpful when things get confusing. 4-Rocky areas are hard to run through. Then I took a rough bearing through the woods to a wide saddle. The light green was hard to run through, with sticks down and stuff. I ended up where I wanted, in the open field. The contours were a lot more subtle than they appeared to me on the map, and I was confused for a second. I was running down a broad spur then, reading the vegetation. At first it was tough because I didn't make the distinction between rough open and open w/ scattered trees. I got more confident when I figured that out and then was able to pick out the individual areas of white. | ||

Tuesday Aug 8 | ||
| running 50:45 [3]5.34 mi (9:29 / mi) | |
| shoes: New Balance 767 | ||
| Slow run with John, my first since getting up to this altitude. At first my legs felt fine but I was breathing really hard, but then my legs started to feel it, too. I'm not sure if it was the altitude or the hills. Probably a combination of both. Anyway, I'm not sure of the pace since I wasn't feeling like normal. For sure slower than 9 min/mile. | ||
Sunday Aug 6 | ||
| running warm up/down 57:09 [3]6.87 mi (8:18 / mi) | |
| shoes: New Balance 767 | ||
| to and from Forest Park with John. Legs felt a little tired on the way there, but it was a nice cooldown on the way back since I needed to loosen up. | ||

| Legs felt tight at beginning from sitting after first sprint, but I warmed up and then took it a little easier than I had on the first one.

Saturday Aug 5 | ||
| running warm up/down 1:11:11 [2]7.49 mi (9:29 / mi) | |
| shoes: New Balance 767 | ||
| Got to the race 17 min before start, registered, and tried to get a good warmup in. We didn't warm up as a team since I had to go to the bathroom, Ali takes a long time with her shoes, and Jenny doesn't always keep up. Then we had to choose between striders and stretching, and I did striders while Ali stretched. They did get 2 rushed striders in. Not a good way to prepare for a race.
We did do a quick cooldown together while we watched the boys race. Phillips beat Andy, but Brian beat Phillips. I thought it would just be another short jog home, but it ended up longer than I expected. I didn't mind, but I know it might not be a good thing to do after a race. | ||
| running race 20:15 [5]5 km (4:03 / km) vdot: 49.1 | |
| shoes: new spikes | ||
| Pretty good race for me. The course was really flat, and it was 3x the same loop. The footing was a little tricky in some places, but that's an advantage for me.
6:20, 6:38, 6:44. Then my finish split, but I didn't stop my watch, and I'm too lazy to do the math. Disappointing pace-wise. I didn't get passed at all, so at least I didn't slow down as much as the people I passed. Good to have a course like this because when I slow down on other courses, I know that the miles aren't identical, so I tell myself I probably didn't slow down that much. I thought of holding back on the first mile, but everyone else was getting tired from going out too fast, and I wanted to pass them. I think that Mikecz's rule of starting to pass halfway through is a good one. That'll also help me psychologically because that's how I raced during track season. I'm also not afraid of running in the back anymore. I ended up getting second place; that junior from Marquette beat me, and I didn't see her the whole race. | ||
Friday Aug 4 | ||
| running 1:01:17 [3]6.81 mi (8:59 / mi) | |
| shoes: New Balance 767 | ||
| Morning practice, then ran home and went to doctor's appointment. Doctor is a track coach, and we had a conversation about health for running. She said resting heartrate can also be used to see if you're dehydrated, which can make your heartrate up to 8 bpm faster. It also beats faster when you're not resting. She also said be sure to drink Gatorade after I run, but I can't stand it because I feel like it makes my throat dry. Crowe said I'll be okay with water. I also learned that I have a premature ventricular contraction every few beats, which is fine since I don't have heart disease. And she said not to have fructose before you run because it makes all your food stay in your stomach and can make you nauseous. I should tell Ali. She also said get new shoes right after they hit 350 miles, but I've let them get to more than 500 before and been fine. | ||
