| Note | |
| Recovery day 1. Got a good night's sleep and woke up with pretty stiff and sore legs. Definitely walking funny. I hobbled along with Sandy (not hobbling) for about an hour out in the rain, checking out many of the TNT haunts that I read about each week. I had to yell at her to slow down several times. Well, not really yell, just sort of plead or state clearly that I was slowing down.
I lucked out on the trip home - no one next to me on either flight, so I could stretch my legs out. | ||

| 49c shoes: Asics Trail Attack III | ||
| Wuhu! Done! This was fun. I do hurt, but that's part of the fun.
Perhaps I will be motivated later to write a detailed description, like maybe tomorrow afternoon when I get snowed into PHL while trying to get back. I will say a few things - first, that an orienteering marathon is obviously far superior to a road one because it is far more interesting. I think I settled into a good pace, nice and reasonable, I think just fine. The first two hours flew by and it wasn't until about the 3:20 mark that I started to notice time. My hamstrings were pretty sore then and by the 4 hour mark I was hurting all over, even my abs! I was able to keep running through to the finish, though, which I was not necessarily planning on being able to do. It helped to run the last 1/4 of the course with Jeff, I think we kept each other from making some silly mistakes and it certainly helped me to move a little faster. I thought Wyatt did a fantastic job with the maps. Two cases and five maps was a bit unwieldy, but that was just one more mental distraction to stop you from thinking about the pain, something a little bit fun. I really missed the ice pellets. | ||

Marathon - Splits | ||
Wednesday Dec 12 | ||
| Cycling (road) 20:00 [2] | |
| Ride in. The nasty weather has passed through and we're back to blue skies and sun... and shorts. Looks like the mountains got a good dumping of snow, at least over ~6500'. Too bad I won't get a chance to get up there soon.
I didn't intend for this tapering to involve so little running. I don't think it will much matter, as I don't think Saturday will be about running. It'll just be about deciding that I want to keep going for 5+ hours in the cold and not changing my mind. | ||

| Cycling (road) 25:00 [2] | |
| Home. Didn't have tights with me so I certainly wasn't wearing any. Not that I would have worn them if I had them, of course. That wouldn't be proper HTFU training. | ||
| C • HTFU? 8 | ||

| The Hours (1)
I can't believe I waited so long to see this. If I'd paid any attention to what it was about when it came out I probably would have run to the theater to watch it. I can't believe that the 3 names on the front didn't make me do that, but I guess I do have *some* standards. | ||
| C • Depressing. 1 | ||
| Cycling (road) 22:00 [2] | |
| Ride in. I didn't think it would ever come to this, but it has: I wore tights. It was 46 and drizzly, so I think that's reasonable. At least I could still wear sandals. | ||
| C • Whoa---tights? In Tucson? ... 8 | ||
| Cycling (road) 20:00 [2] | |
| Ride home, after waiting a few minutes for a big nasty storm to pass through, hail and all! There were big puddles almost the whole way (really little lakes that took up exactly the width of the bike lanes) until about 1/8 of a mile away from home. Then it was dry. Neat. | ||
| Strength/Core 30:00 [2] | |
| I convinced seabass to join in on some hard core stuff... but the power went out somewhere near the end so we didn't quite finish. | ||
