AM - 15.25 Tempo. Had a bit of rain last night, so we weren't sure the condition of the trail (the mud piles up pretty high on it). But we decided to do it anyway. Started off solid and just kept it there - finally a tempo the way it should be. Was 5:38 at the top of Nicholl's. 5:36 down to the bridge. 5:33 off Mosquito. Kind of got me stoked to try and drop below 5:30, but I didn't open it up that much. Lost a second along Riverside to be at :34 at the Car Wash and then kept it there to the finish. Happy with it. Happy that I am going in the right direction. (Adios 223.25) Forgot to mention that I had a skunk sighting on the Mosquito. I was moving pretty good and came up on it and luckily noticed it in the dark. Stopped to let it pass and to warn the lads; then got moving again and it was just 20 feet up the trail. So stopped it again and sneaked on by. Glad I didn't get hit.
afternoon - 9 Hospital. Started practice a little late today because of another storm. This really has been a crazy year. The amount of rain these things are throwing down is intense. Ran Hospital reverse and then 8xbarefoot striders. Stomach was a bit off this afternoon. (Barefoot '14 52.75)(Kinvara White 322.75) |
