Training Log Archive: roschi

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.

around the track

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...

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?
