Easy running warm up/down 11:31 [2] 2.01 km (5:44 / km)
shoes: New Nikes

Warmed up at De Anza. Mark came again, as did Mikkel, Tapio, and Kent.

Long intervals intervals (VO_2max) 24:59 [4] 4.83 km (5:10 / km)
shoes: New Nikes

We did 4×(1000 m at I + 207 m rest). I felt yesterday's workout, but not too badly. Mark paced me for the first lap of some of the intervals, dropping back on the subsequent lap and a half, and Mikkel was typically just a second or two back. Tapio and Kent did 5×, but we decided that for a two-session week that was excessive.

3:28 3:29 3:30 3:31.

Easy running warm up/down 25:25 [2] 3.97 km (6:24 / km) +66m 5:55 / km
shoes: New Nikes

Still no HRM transmitter.

Ran up to Kezar from home, stopping for long at traffic lights.

Medium pace running tempo (Threshold intervals) 29:00 [3] 6.6 km (4:24 / km)
shoes: New Nikes

There were three of us for the T intervals: Mark the Copselover, Mikkel, and I. The course of action was 3×(2000 m + 200 m rest). Mikkel and I got pretty competitive, and finished within seconds; I tanked on the last one but only was two seconds behind. I'm pretty sure I was going beyond my current threshold, but it was fun.

7:24 7:23 7:28.

Rogaining (Barely moving) 43:37 [1] 2.03 km (21:29 / km) +185m 14:46 / km
shoes: Flyroc 310

Belle and I hiked up Lafayette Ridge from the Deer Hill Briones entrance. It was a gorgeous, cold, sunny, windy day. A CHP helicopter kept flying back and forth. On the way back (which I didn't log, since we weren't moving that fast) two young bulls almost charged us, and certainly didn't want to let us pass. We went around them off trail, and one of them kept checking us out until we disappeared from view.
