Best interval run in weeks! I did TM 11.8, 12.1, 12.5 mile intervals, then instead of doing the 12.8 mile I opted to hone a bit more and did .6 at 12.8, a shorter rest, and .4 at 13.1. I could have gone more.

2 miles on the TM in the morning, checked out the upper half of the Yeti course in the afternoon. Trail is almost snow-free, don't think the snowshoes are going to work!

I think I got food poisoned, recovering quickly (hopefully won't damage tomorrow's Yeti). Ran 1 on the TM before upper body in the morning, then rode bike back and forth to work.

I do so love the Yeti, although I wish they would move it earlier so I could do Leopards too. Anyway, there were only about 30-40 people combined this year - I guess the snowstorm just before the start scared them off. I had some sort of food poisoning on Thursday so I was worried about energy delivery, but once the race got off I found that I had enough energy to make my legs hurt as bad as I wanted to, and more! The crowd fell swiftly back and when I turned around after the first mile I was shocked to see a quarter mile and 150 vertical feet separate me from second place. I got back to it and didn't see anybody after that.

The snowshoe route was changed because the trail had no snow. We went up the avalanche chute and the rule was to put your snowshoes on when you need to. Since I pooped twice this morning (still a little burbly) I was light enough to not break through the snow and I got to the top in short order. I bombed down the switchbacks, came out by my lot, and lazily run up the road to the park and the finish. I didn't even get a little wet this year! The waffle truck was up there so I was sad to be allergic to gluten, but such is life. No Yeti cake either, major bummer. But that's three first place finishes for me this year! I bet I won't get four....
