Workout. I did a fartlek with 5x4-minutes @ LT, with 2 minutes recovery on the Young Ward-ICON Loop. Warmed up for about 4 miles at 6:35/mile pace (good sign), then started the workout at the turnoff to Young Ward. Interval | Distance (miles)
| Pace
| 1 | 0.77 | 5:11/mile | 2 | 0.78
| 5:10/mile | 3 | 0.77 | 5:13/mile | 4 | 0.75 | 5:23/mile | 5 | 0.77 | 5:11/mile |
The first two intervals felt pretty good, but I think all the flying, driving, and holiday festivities of the past week took a bit out of me. I don't know what happened on the 4th interval, but the last interval went well. (Elite: 106 miles) In other news, I got my Houston entry and plane ticket squared away. I'm starting to get pretty excited for that. I'm thinking sub-1:06 should be possible.
Also, for those interested in getting cabins for the Moab Half, David has reserved a cabin for 6, and it is already full (me, Stacy, Dave, Cody, Beth, (kids??), Aaron). However, Dave inquired if there are any more open cabins, and there ARE. If you are interested in reserving a cabin, contact the Pack Creek Ranch. They are very nice cabins/houses in the La Salle Mnts. Rates are reasonable. There is a hot tub. It would be cool to have a cluster of FRB cabins. We can be like a cult or something. We just need more people and guns.
