 | Trail Run 2:00:45 [1] 10.0 mi (12:04 / mi) +450m 6:35 / km | |
| shoes: Brooks Cascadia Lime#2 |
| Easy recovery run at Cougar with Yumay... the pace was conversational (lots of politics today, which makes yumay all riled up and run a little faster :) and I only towed her on the first hill... my legs were fine on the uphills but hurt in the core on all the downs, so it was probably good I put in the miles at a reasonable pace... |
Saturday Mar 31 |
| Mountainbike 5:07:45 [2] 61.5 mi (5:00 / mi) +960m 2:58 / km | |

| ARGH!! One of the three days per year when I hate living in the Northwest.... rain, drizzle, fog, bittercold and I forgot my goretex booties at work, so I could not feel my feet for the whole ride.. the trails were just soaked... did the rough guestimate of the "Son of the Last Dirt Trail".. rode to Redmond Heights, Farrell McWither, Snoqualmie Valley, Carnation, Tolt, Fall City, High Point Way and back via East Lake Sammamish... inside of my left knee bothered me a good bit but its 100% fine when I walk/run... |

| |
| The new K2s are fast but its like having a ferrari and not knowing how to use a gear shifter... I can roll faster but am still pretty instable so I was only marginally (2min?) faster than usually... and got some blisters needing to get used to the shoes.... carried a ton of stuff, shoes, swimming gears, food, clothing, , to go swim/run afterwards... |
| Swimming 17:00 [3] 0.9 km (18:53 / km) | |
| |
| got in a 1000 yard swim at the pool on the way to work... all with pully, great workout, tired since i am already flailing my arms around when skating... |
| Run 8:00 [3] 0.9 mi (8:52 / mi) | |
| |
| and then ran to work... super heavy pack with all the inline skating gear, messenger bag was busting with stuff.. great AM pre-work workout! |

| spent a little over two hours driving around and walking around scouting out the BEAST race #1 with eric, the course is coming along very nicely and i think its one of the best venues to date, simply because there is an abundance of beautiful singletrack and i love the navigatoin which is going to be pretty tricky but fun.. |
