Training Log Archive: roschi

Ran Erics 10 miler at Redmond Watershed (www.nwtrailruns.com), he s been getting huge turnouts lately, this one had more than 120 runners doing the 5M, 10M and marathon.
Decided last minute to not run with Yumay but do my own thing, and started off what i thought was way too fast.. after 3 miles i felt like puking, but settled into a nice groove after a while, hanging in about 10th place.. at 5 miles (42 minutes) i left the TA thinking i wont be able to go much faster but all of a sudden i started feeling great and made bigger strides and slowly caught 4 runners over time... i was hauling, doing the 2nd lap in 37 minutes, felt great...

Intended to do the triple crown but did not have it in me today, and did not really want to push after two hard weeks of training... so i cut it short after the first and biggest of 3 sections, long sustained big singletrack climbs, awesome downhills, great views, superb weather, it was thoroughly enjoyable today... kim cut it short too, hayes, vdv, rvg, glen and rinn pushed on...

Went out to Buck Creek CG and ran in the evening the shorter WR 1st look, basically cutting it at Ranger Creek Cabin, then running down... was a good run, got dark about 30 minutes before we made it back, then we had some good food, glen built a fire and we sat around drinking beer and camped out to be ready for Saturdays ride... awesome

warmup cooldown inbetween

another 5 hard uphill runs to 164th from the sammamish river trail... ate bad food all day and was slower and sicker than most times before, serves me well... need to keep doing these though, they hurt

Ran up to woodinville and back, starting off fairly fast and never really decreasing, which meant pushing fairly hard towards the end, felt good pushing though the puring rain for 2h... something i ll miss in california

C • You can't beat the puring rain 3
