Roadbiking (commute) 1:18:23 [2] 22.2 mi (3:32 / mi) +98ft 3:31 / mi
WHOA! That was brutal.. biked to work and decided not to put on the goretex booties nor bring extra clothes... after about 1 mile it started pouring, and it never ended... it was 32F and sometimes it rained, (well pured) sometimes it hailed (pinprick needled) and sometimes it snowed... my feet were in so much pain... but it only got worse at work when i stood under the shower and warmed them from 32F to 80F... man that sucked... anyhow, no pain no gain I guess... did not have fun on that ride...

Inlineskate (commute) 1:58:10 [2] 22.2 mi (5:19 / mi) +98ft 5:18 / mi
Inline Skated to work (after MTB, roadbike and run all I have left to try one day is to paddle to work!!), I cant believe I have not done this before, its probably the best training imaginable, superb cycling path, few people, almost no crossings.... was feeling good and strong up to about 1h20 where my legs and speed started fading a bit.... will certainly do it again soon...
Roadbiking (commute) 1:19:00 [2] 22.2 mi (3:34 / mi) +98ft 3:33 / mi
could not leave until 7pm, took a bit of convincing not taking the bus home... it was raining hard all the way back, my booties held about 50 min into the ride until the feet got wet, and i did not bring enough clothes so i was pretty cold the last 30 minutes.. miserable but happy i went anyways...

Trail Run race 6:05:32 [3] 32.5 mi (11:15 / mi) +7874ft 9:09 / mi
shoes: Brooks Cascadia Lime#1
Orcas Island 50k Fat @$$, decided last minute to drive/ferry out there since Franklin was in town, and it was a great decision. Since my foot training has been marginal at best over the last 5 weeks I focused on starting slow, and ran with Glen who did the same approach for the first 5 miles until he took off.... there were gigantic elevation gains involved so I knew I could make up on.. was 22nd at mile 9 and then turned it up a notch and finished 10th just 5 minutes behind Glen, too bad, had about a 3-4 minute error by running down to the lake instead of the lodge at mile 9.. would have been darn close to glen... the race was awesome, just superb trails, and good amounts off snow (plus a driving snow storm) at the tops, including Mt. Constitution... probably the best 50k I have done.

Roadbiking (commute) 1:10:10 [3] 22.3 mi (3:09 / mi) +98ft 3:08 / mi
nice! modified the trek roadie back to my height after yumay has been working 80-90h per week for the last three and is going to india and europe for the next 3 there is no chance she ll need it... I was feeling superb and that thing is flying... had significant wind disatvantage as it was blowing hard west to east and I was slower than should have been for the middle part... and all this with food and extra clothes.. should have this down to 1.05 in no time...
Roadbiking (commute) 1:10:45 [2] 22.2 mi (3:11 / mi) +98ft 3:10 / mi
star lit sky, riding home at 9PM, gee worked 14.5h today, good thing I can still do my commutes these days, like ruri, trying to stay in shape on commuting and lunch runs...
clear sky, crisp cold, good music, speedy roadbike, and a good chunk of love, what else need a man live for?

Trail Run 2:27:01 [3] 12.0 mi (12:15 / mi) +2188ft 10:27 / mi
shoes: Montrail Continental Divide
easy run with matt taking about the upcoming season.. should be great fun! ran at cougar doing the usual 12, skipped deleo due to a heel blister that was sodding bloody (yep, not puss-ing!) at the end... new shoes need to be worn in, got it!

Run (warmupcooldown) 10:00 [3] 1.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Montrail Continental Divide
@ WIOL Champs, warmup.. not much of a cooldown...
Orienteering 57:48 [4] 6.2 km (9:19 / km) +820ft 7:46 / km
shoes: Montrail Continental Divide
Hmm, frustrating, could have won today.. finished 3rd 6 min behind Alex... two major messups, 2,4min, plus about 3-4 30seconders that were needless... oh well, overall a nice run at threshhold in the sun, but kind of blew my legs out a bit... need to start running regularly again.
Inlineskate 56:00 [4] 12.0 mi (4:40 / mi)
though i was flying up the trail (6M in 25min) but then realized as soon as i turned around that the wind was blowing massively up north.. harder on the way back, and much slower..

Mountainbike (commute) 1:21:09 [3] 22.2 mi (3:39 / mi) +98ft 3:38 / mi
Got my new Clif Shots race jersey outfits and all the nutrition for the whole year yesterday, they are awesome!!
Love the new Clif Jerseys and wore them today cycling to work, will be nice having a uniform race gear for the Gigathlon... biked to work at a higher intensity than usual.

Mountainbike (commute) 1:25:57 [2] 22.2 mi (3:52 / mi) +98ft 3:51 / mi
to work, great weather, just perfect temps, and not raining, was a Z2 effort most of the time, once i drafted off a fast roadie for 5min before dropping off as he was too fast... and talked to nina for 2-3 min while she was running close to UW...
Swimming 35:00 [2] 2.0 km (17:30 / km)
another straight 2k.. good to try out.. a little sore in the beginning, got better...

Swimming 35:00 [2] 2.0 km (17:30 / km)
2k straight no breaks.. can do 3k right now, getting to the point where i can do this race without drowning, but am far from efficient, that ll be the focus for the next few months...fortunately yumay is a superb swimmer so she can help

Trail Run 5:49:34 [2] 24.0 mi (14:34 / mi) +6552ft 11:34 / mi
did the corridor run with murray, was his idea and it was a good one.. started off dropping a car at high point and then driving to newcastle beach park.. ran from there along the coal creek to cougar, across cougar over wilderness... across sqak to the radio tower, down to issaquah and over and up to poopoo point, across tiger and up to tiger 3.. intended to do tiger 1,2,3 but left it at just 3.. i was plastered at the end, hamstring wasnt too bad though...

Inlineskate 1:08:56 [3] 13.4 mi (5:09 / mi)

Trail Run 2:30:01 [2] 16.9 mi (8:53 / mi) +98ft 8:50 / mi
shoes: Brooks Cascadia Lime#1
quite a messed up commute run home... beautiful weather, warm, started at 4pm and felt great... not taking into account that i had not really run in 3 weeks... my hip, knee, and ultimately the hamstring were so out of whack that me doing 9min/miles was too much, plus the stomach had troubles too... ended up calling it quits in woodinville and yumay gave me a ride home.. bummer.. hamstring is super sore...
Thursday Feb 8, 2007 #
Swimming 27:00 [3] 1.0 mi (27:00 / mi)
@UW pool, at first a wee bit many people and chaotic... but then it died down...
Run 8 [3] 1.0 mi (8 / mi)
started running but my slowly healing pussy blister immediately started chafing so i left it at that.. not sure if i am getting wiser with age or just less tough.. but in any event no run today...
Wednesday Feb 7, 2007 #
Mountainbike (commute) 1:20:02 [3] 22.2 mi (3:36 / mi) +98ft 3:35 / mi
for once i pushed harder than usually in the AM and felt good, but with the MTB bike setup and the pack i cant go much faster than 17MPH at this time... , pushed basically to about 80-90% of cap. wtih this setup.. yumay should get her new carbon fuji road bike then i have my trek back and that ll speed me up a good two notches...
Mountainbike (commute) 1:15:01 [4] 22.2 mi (3:23 / mi) +98ft 3:22 / mi
could tell from the start that i had more in the tank than previous weeks so i started pushing early and never let off, was warmer and i felt good, had to stand up quite a bit at the end but pushed through... need to switch to the roadie now that its warmer...

Snowshoeing 5:01:00 [3] 14.0 mi (21:30 / mi) +2297ft 18:37 / mi
shoes: Montrail Stratos XCR
a bit of a chaotic outing again, with Ruri, setting up the course for the WinterAR that I organised... at least the setting of the first part was super chaotic...
lost a pen (out of two I brought) that I needed to label the streamers... kept placing the wrong numbered cps at first, GPS batteries barely worked due to the cold... had to move CPs, then my snowshoes broke in half practically... all that in the first 2h...after that, returning to the lodge for another pair of snowshoes, we made great time setting the course and ruri who was the course checker did a great job.. the weather was awesome and we had great fun getting it all done.... returning to the lodge i got very busy and spend the next day and a half (did have 3h of sleep though) making sure everything went smoothly... with this race setup we required a great number of volunteers and man did they show up great... we had 80 racers and a super event, the course was a bit too hard, need to keep that in mind for the 24h... about 40-50% finished the full course, 30% dnfed, and DART spanked the course, winnign in 3.5h, ahead one full hour of MOMAR....

Swimming 17:03 [3] 1.0 km (17:03 / km)
1k warmup... i am scarily good at this swimming thing given that i have only done it for 2 weeks now... could have gone at that pace for another k or so, except i need to figure out why the arch of my foot cramps sometimes.. probably just need to kick more relaxed...
Swimming 30:00 [2] 1.2 km (25:00 / km)
intervals of all sorts afterwards...
