Training Log Archive: Zippy

Planned zero day. All day working on house projects: french drain repair, indoor firewood rack, topped and stained the shade sail post. Firewood rack stain and paint drying before final assembly.

Mod-hard MTB ride on the local trails. From the house, up and over southridge to May Valley, onto Log Pile and down Sunset. Back up the fire road and then down sunrise before heading back to the house.

Last big ride before a quick unload for the last Rim Nordic race of the summer and then Big Zach gets here and life is over for a while.

On the trainer before work.

Warmed up for 10 in Z1, then 2 x 1 min spin ups at 140-ish. Then 6 x 3 min at 260 goal with 3 min recoveries. Cooled down for 10, then last 5 at 180 (HR built to 160 by the end).

AVG: 265, 261, 254, 252, 252 ,239

Lost hiker on Devil's Slide Trail. Guy started up yesterday morning at 1030 and made it to Skunk Cabbage Meadow. Got wrong directions from some campers and wound up lost and buskwhacking in the burn area.

Spent the night under a tree shivering and using his map as a blanket. Found the PCT and wound up at the fire lookout on Tahquitz around 0900 this morning.

I got the call just after 0900 and started up around 0930. Found him about 1.5 miles up trail with a USFS Volunteer and hiked him out. Busy morning.

Mod-hard MTB ride from the house, up and over Southridge to May Valley. Down to Johnson Meadow, up to the drop in for Keen Camp, up May Valley and then onto Log Pile, down Sunset and back through town.

Working it where I had it, recovering where I had to. Mostly trying to make up for the lost time this past week since I had some forced time off wih life stuff.
