AM - 18 SGM Course. Took Ally and a few others up near the top for their run and then drove back down. I had wanted a good tired leg run to have a strong tempo finish, but that was before last night's adventure. That combined with Meat Grinders pretty much made me a victim of the Hamburger. Going up from the church was slow going, but I felt pretty good. I got a lot of, "wrong way," comments and just kept on going. I turned up by Diamond after seeing some of the crew headed down and Al too. Got a decent first downhill mile in, but then the quads just refused to go. Obviously it was faster going on the way back, but I would have preferred to be heading up hill. But I eventually finished without stressing too much about it. (Kinvara 3 26.5) Not a bad week. Got a lot of miles in and a little more tempo stuff plus trail torture. Goals for next week: XC Camp: enjoy it, survive it! |
