Neighborhood 5K "Fun Run"
Fastest I've run this course! Took 2nd overall. The course is tough because it's all downhill for two miles, but then uphill for the last mile. If you don't pace it right, you'll die. I must have paced it right this time ;-) Kept up with a young high school kid... I was okay with that result.

Old Mill to Draper Temple
Met up with Mark for an evening ride. Started off with some unexpected excitement - ended up breaking my seat and seat post right off my bike. Totally spaced that it was on top of my car and tried to go under a parking structure. D'oh!

Had to run to the nearest bike shop (Millcreek Bicycles) and spend $200 on a new seat/post so I could still get in a ride.

The ride was full of climbing and my legs were tired. Still, it was a good ride, and went well all things considered.

U111 S by Daybreak
Good ride this morning. Pushed on the way out, eased up on the climb up to Kennecott, good descent to Riverton, and then more easy recovery riding all the way back home. Still managed to set PRs on Strava ;-)

Hopefully I can squeeze in a big ride tomorrow...

Alt 5 mi loop North (Run)
It was supposed to be an easy run. For the most part it was, but in a couple spots I pushed it a little harder than I intended. Overall, I'm happy with the run and the way I felt. Need to get a HR monitor and start training that way, so I can target different zones on different days. It might be about time -- my Garmin has seen better days. It's being held together with rubber bands right now...

Splits from run today:
Mi 1: 8:25
Mi 2: 7:37
Mi 3: 7:41
Mi 4: 7:53
Mi 5: 7:57

Office to Vivian - Downhill TT
Ride with Mark, Matt and Craig today @ lunch. It was a good day to take it easy up to Vivian, so we took it mostly easy. Pushed harder from Mouth to Vivian, averaging about 18 mph up. Decided it was a great day to do a time trial on the downhill segment from Vivian to Mouth so I hammered it for about 5 1/2 mi, setting a segment record on Strava -- I averaged almost 27 mph down :-) taking the first spot out of about 120. Tons of fun. We continued to push pretty hard down all the way to the office. All in all, a great ride.

Lunch Ride
Good ride with Mark and Craig today at lunch up to South Fork Park and back, even after the run this morning. Set some PRs for climb up, averaging about 19 mph from mouth to Vivian. Also cruised up South Fork easy, esp. after the Suncrest climb ;-) I'll take it.

Morning Run
Went out for a good run this morning. Felt automatic-- I was able to just ride my feet this morning! Love it when runs are like this. Feeling more and more ready for Ragnar!
