Blue River Path

First run of the week at 10,000 feet altitude. Pretty humbling. Nice to have dew point in the 30s and temps in the upper 50's. Not so nice to have no, GASP, oxygen, GASP, to GASP breath... Gratefully forgot to pack my HR strap, when I manually checked HR was anywhere between 155-170.

Run

47m 25s
5.00 miles
09m 28s /Mi

ugh!

Mighty tired, mostly from the 4 hours of sleep on race night and the 4 hours of driving to and from race. Extremely busy day which will somehow include a 7-8 mile run. Well one thing I won't have to do is my race report. Already done and up.

UPDATE Mercifully, all I had time for was 5. I don't know if it was my dead legs, the humidity that would make a Floridian blush, the hilly route or the combo of all three, but this baby sucked.

Run

22m 27s
3.05 miles
07m 21s /Mi

Pretty sure swim was long, pretty sure I'm a lame biker (and it was windy), pretty sure I can runs pretty good. Started out soggy, but ended with sunshine. total time 1:27:33. Easily a PR for course, but sort of doesn't count because the last time I did the sprint was in 2005 & it was my second tri (1:41).

"L" SD run

Did this weekend's long run (which really wasn't long) today because I'm racing this weekend. Behaved myself and kept it slow (I hate seeing 9's in my runs) and EZ.
