Highline with Carbon, Melissa and Alex
Such a great trail, so great that it is so close to home, and great that it was mostly clear today. Tacky and good. The initial climb always feels a little rough, especially when you have no warm up, but it wasn't too bad especially for the first ride of the season. Felt pretty good on the bike. Spun out trying to climb several little things that shouldn't be too hard... my technique must be a little off... but then cleaned the corner with the tricky rock that I have never cleaned!
A little bit of adventure walking our bikes across the ice flow, but not too bad.
I should throw the new tires on :)

Dirtbags
warm up jog

5 x 5 min @ 85%, laps around Quarry Lake.
5 minutes was just about enough for me to do the full lap. Regrouped and alternated direction each time.
Had a good finishing kick on the first 3 reps, then started getting tired later in the workout (I think the previous 2 days' workouts left me tired).

5 x 10s sprint, up the slight hill at the beginning of the clockwise loop.
You didn't realize how much you were climbing, it just felt like you expected to catch the person in front of you due to how hard you were working, but didn't accelerate as well as you expected. Then when you stopped and turned around, you realized how much you had to walk downhill to the start. Pretty drained by the end of the night.

Easy run on the treadmill, watching more Netflix. I was about the only one in the gym and then I realized: it's nice out now.... get outside!
