Did Green Mtn via Amphitheater/Saddle/Greenman with Schlarb. We're on the same routine as far as our hill days/speed days/long days so its been cool to be able to head out a few times in the past week, and we'll probably keep the Tues/Thursday workouts going and increase the group that joins as time goes on. Its fun to run with Jason, and motivating because he is an incredible runner. PR'd the ascent even though I power hiked most of it and had no intention of trying to PR. I guess power hiking the steep stuff is indeed more efficient. 39:35 for the ascent. Jason did it in high 33's today for his first time up that route. To give you perspective, Tony K's PR up that route is just under 31, so 33 anything is pretty dang fast. Cruised really easy down Bear canyon. Another gorgeous morning in Boulder...(starting to sound like a broke record I know...and it looks like December might pass entirely without any snow on the trails...odd.) 8.5 miles - 1:43:30 - 2900' vertical. |
