Personal:

I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

Killer downhill trail run + no downhill training for 3 months = very sore quads. Ouch. Can't even touch them. I'd love to get right back into my training to get some miles in before another tough trail race in 2 weeks (Logan Peak), but will have to balance that with muscle recovery. I was much better acclimated to tough downhills last year thanks to lots of downhill training, which I had to avoid this year due to my achilles.

PM- 5 miles crosstraining- arc trainer and bike. Legs not quite so sore after.

I know what you mean. I was able to bike but I definitely can't even think about running right now. And it would even be worse if I didn't lay in the creek after the race. Hopefully I can handle grass or a treadmill in a few days.

That's what you guys get for running up and down mountains! ;-)
