| shoes: Asics Blade |
| did Mt. Si (1020m vertical gain, 4.0miles, 56min), rattlesnake (510m, 2.5miles, 27min) and mailbox peak (1420m, 5miles, 95min) (downhills appx 11 miles, 3h) with jeff, running/hiking up, downhills relatively slow and easy... we wanted to connect the peaks with the bikes, even though we re adventure racers we were to sissy to do so, so we just connected by car... was a great workout anyways....
p.s. noticed that my resting heart rate has been higher for weeks, (52 up from 45) maybe from overtraining? or just natural fluctuation over time? |
