| More time at Cherry Creek State Park, checking mostly potential green and red controls. Warm (dare I say hot - over 20 degrees C!), and sunny - not muddy like last week.
Plenty of wildlife sightings - mostly deer and Canada geese, plus a couple of magpies. |

| Running (Trail) 1:11:05 [4] 6.1 mi (11:38 / mi) +566m 5:37 / km | |
| shoes: Asics (pair 2) |
| Matthews/Winters Park, from Stegasaurous parking lot. Out via Dakota Ridge Trail, back via Red Rocks Trail. Cold (5 degrees C?), but nice to be able to do a trail run mid week without needing a headlamp (thanks to the early start to daylight saving time). Shoulder thankfully gave no problems (although I guess it would have if it had been a flat road run).
Wildlife sightings: a few deer and a rabbit. |

| Note | |
| |
| Succesfully entered the Pikes Peak Ascent (after all the problems they'd been having with registration). Now I just have to start training! Registration for wave 2 (which I'm doing) filled up in less than 10 minutes (between 6am and 6:10 am MDT)! |
| Running 46:06 [4] 5.2 mi (8:52 / mi) | |
| shoes: Asics (pair 2) |
| 2 laps of Washington Park. Warm (20 degree C?), and there were lots of people out. Had the same problem with my right shoulder as 2 weeks ago, which meant I had to slow down and walk for about 30 seconds towards the end. Otherwise a reasonable run, although feeling slightly dehydrated during the second loop (not used to the warm weather!).
This was the first run with no sign of snow since November! |
Sunday Mar 11 |
| Cycling 1:34:26 [3] 22.21 mi (4:15 / mi) | |
| |
| Warm springlike day which meant that lots of people were out on the trails. As well as the usual Canada geese and prarie dogs, saw a red fox. |
