Event: Challenge Cup Relay
Run (B2V Relay) 56:05 [3] 7.56 mi (7:25 / mi) +300ft 7:09 / mi
shoes: Altra Lone Peak
Baker to Vegas relay. I had leg 9, which is a met downhill, but starts with 2.5 miles of climbing and finishes on an uphill with 1.3 miles of climbing. My leg didn't start until 9 PM; I sat in the car all day driving to Vegas, back to Baker and then 44 miles down HWY 127/178 to the start. Lots of sitting in the car and hurry up and wait.
Jogged a few minutes, then did some strides and drills just to get the legs firing. Haven't ran this hard for this far in YEARS and had no idea how my body would react.
Grabbed the baton from Darby and plunged into the dark, desert night. Checked the effort climbing the first hill so as not to blow the legs and then focused on turnover and form on the downhill. Knew that hammering would shred my quads so just raced within myself.
Got passed early by team 4 (Anaheim PD), later by 7 (Navajo Public Safety), but caught 9 (Riverside Sheriff's) mid-way.
Felt great through 5.5 miles and cracked the throttle the last 2 miles. Suffered climbing the hill, but smartly saved the legs and was able to hold off the 3 guys charging up behind me.
You know you put the hurt on someone when they finish behind you and immediately start dry-heaving. Ha!
Legs not ready for the effort and tried cramping on me. Had to stick around until my groupettto finished after leg 10, then drove 2 HOURS back to Vegas.
Cobb salad from room service and then CRASHED until 0800. Breakfast and people watching at Denny's on Fremont Street, then back into the car for a 7-hour drive home. Crushed.
Team finished 2nd in our class (combined age over 800) and 20th OA. Best recent finish was 6th OA, but people dropped late and we scrambled to field a team at all. Small win. Victory mug #2 in the mail. BOOM.

(rest day)
Ommmm....Fairly busy day at work interviewing people for a couple positions. Staying off the feet, off the VASA and off the Jungle Gym. Almost got called out last night for an overdue hiker. When the Ranger says there's 3' of snow and you should have snowshoes above 8k feet, maybe you should listen.

MTB 2:11:38 [3] 17.9 mi (8.2 mph) +3595ft
Mod MTB from the house, through town, up the climb next to South Ridge Fire road and down Southridge trail. Down May Valley Fire Road, through Johnson Meadow to Keen Summit. Back via May Valley Fire road. Fatigue from yesterday's run, but still had decent legs. Fitness is coming around, a little bonky toward the end.
Shutting it down for the weekend.

Run 1:36:34 [3] 9.04 mi (10:41 / mi) +1103ft 9:35 / mi
shoes: Altra Lone Peak
Aerobic from the house, down to the Hub Trails and then out and back. Felt really good through 10k and then started getting tired. Doing the work.
Swimming 30:00 [3] 0.6 mi (49:59 / mi)
200 swim
4 x 50 UNCO
200 pull
2 x 50 STK EZ
twice through:
2 x 100 on :20 (1:38)
50 EZ STK
Tired from the long run and from the last few days in general. Time change always kicks my ass. No 'pop', but happy with the paces I'm holding on almost no swimming.
