Subject: RE: 11.26.16 Super Saturday! Lucky you on the races! St. George sounds cool. I was hoping you'd do Cour de Alene 70.3 so we could meet up, though!
I don't how big Toughman is in Utah, but the one Toughman event I did (in Washington state ) had only 66 takers for the HIM distance. There might have been two or three hundred total participants--as I recall, they were holding a 5K run, sprint tri, 10K, Oly, and HM that day. Organization was, shall we say, fairly casual. Some aid stations were not even staffed, no mile or km markings. It would definitely put me off another Toughman event. But maybe some are better organized??
AM: One hour run, for once just running--no stride drills or fartlek or anything to think about except maybe Thanksgiving dinner
Noonish: 2K of swimming, main set of 5 X200m at about 3:15-3:20
I think I didn't "pace" well for Thanksgiving dinner. Overdid it on turkey and sides and then "hit the wall" just a few bites into the pie! Gave the rest to some hungry kids, and now I don't have any more! I did snag enough leftover turkey and gray for dinner tonight, though.
Enjoy the threshold run. Is that where you try to run as hard as you can for 20 minutes, like an FTP test?
