On my own today because Joe if off being at nerd at some Robot competition somewhere. I slightly underestimated the time/mileage this workout would take but I am glad I did it. It all began with a long bike ride up Blacksmithfork Canyon to Leatham Hollow. That took a solid 75 mins. It was brutal when I hit the mouth of the canyon and the wind kept me under 7 mph. Ugg. I ditched the bike for the real fun of the day. I ran up the road for 2.5 miles then up Richards Hollow. Awesome trail, but it was not quite ready for me yet. The flowers haven't come out yet and I guess there is still snow in the mountains. The drifts got deeper and deeper. Some of it was packed solid but enough sections were not. Quite the surprise when you are running along and you post hole to your knees. They are all bloody now. Other than that, it was awesome. I made it nearly to the junction with the logan peak road. Ran back to the bike and rode home (1 hour). Solid workout - 5+ hours.
Bike - 2:15, 30 miles (13.5 miles converted) 700' vert
Run - 3:00 16 miles 3000' vert ** Great week of training. Leg is feeling great. I am thinking Pocatello is still possible. It will be slow and ugly, but possible. We will see.
