Note
Originally had a good weekend of training planned, but I've come down with a cold (had it before last weekend, and I think the travel and training gave it the window to really hit me). So ended up taking the weekend off to sleep and try to get better.

Cycling 59:24 [3]
Initially started out trying to ride a GCN training video, but with the cold I have right now that was going to be too hard hacking away in the basement. So paused the video and just put on Netflix for the rest of the ride.

Day 3 of the training runs. We ran from where the support parking lot is for Green Gate to the finish. Today was hot. So I changed it up and ran in a tank top and with bottles. Also really focused on keeping the heart rate below 150 which is sort my cruising pace.
It took a bit to loosen my legs up and then I felt pretty good. Was in a line of runners including 3 woman with names of Kaci, Stephan and Megan and a fellow named Ian. All of them have top 10 finishes at one point or another and I think 2 of them have won it. I decided I should probably slow down.
The part from No Hands bridge up the climb was hard because I was pretty hot, but got through it and then enjoyed the run down to the track. I stayed off the track (saving that for next time i'm here). Glad I did this as I learned a lot about the course have a good idea what I want to do for the final weeks of training also.

2nd day of WS training runs.
Today was from Foresthill down to the river crossing and then we had to come up the road (not on course) to a parking lot 2 miles up the road.
@bent, this is a gorgeous section of the trail to travel on. You're going to enjoy it. Start working on your downhill muscles though because a good portion of the trail is down hill.
658m of ascent and 1129m of descent.
A little warmer today, highs around 26C. Nothing too bad.
Tomorrow is supposed to be hot so will be a good day to get a better idea of how hot it can be.
