Steady State n' Sprints - Apr 5

Steady state on a chilly morning. Wore all my biking gear while running the sprints at the Train Grade - just couldn't get/stay warm. 

6 reps on the grade 60/70/80/90/100//% efforts in less than 55 on 3.45. Was only going to do 5, but like I said, even on deload week I'm on a volume bender. Everything felt smooth, stride was nice and even, didn't run out of gas until the top.
19 mins.

Bike was slow today. 11.3 mi, 10.1 average. Really feeling the work from the landmines/hip thrusts in the glutes today.
67 mins - 62 mins moving time.

8 hours - 2200/0600. 86 minutes total. PE: 9. 24 hours.
P231g/C82/F154 : 35/12/53%, 3213 total cal, 1617 net - Today was a good day.

Train Grade Repeats and MTB Boxrun - Mar 8

Kinda slow going early with Kon over to repeats on the Train grade hill. Just glad that the guy wants to ride with the old man.

Six repeats with the first three at 70/80/90% in 64/59/55, last three in 53-54, all on 3.30. Feeling a little stiff and feet were a bit slappy. 
19 mins.

Then over to pick up the AHO box - 24 there, 26 back with a God-ordained stop.
50 mins. 12 miles.

Got home and cleaned the pump, swamped out the biological filter, upper pool and stream. Went into backlock all day after that.

8.5 hours - 2200/0630. 70+ minutes total, PE: 8. 12 hours.

Train Grade n' Parachute Racing - Mar 1

Rode the trailer to the Train Grade before picking up the AHO box.

Five repeats on the hill in .55ish on 3.45ish. The first three saw my right hip flexor freaking screaming at me to reconsider. Last two felt good.
18 mins.

Stormy weather as we get maybe the last of any rain this year. Wacky crosswinds today on the ride, the trailer was acting like a canopy behind me; inchworming like crazy.
7 mins to the Train grade, 30 to the box, 28 home. 11.4 mi, 10.4 mph ave.

8 hours - 2200/0600. 86 minutes total, PE: 8. 24 hours. 
P324g/C70/F199 : 39/8/53%, 3427 total cal, 2093 net - win

S Run - Train Grade - May 27

5x in .50 on 3.00

Nice cool morning. Was amazed to find my head and hands steaming after the run. In Bako. In May. Are you kidding me?

11.03 there. 14.56 without the final rest. 13.56 on the way back, with a visit to the weir to check on the hyacinth.

Not really any trouble making the time, smooth is fast. Friggin' left achilles didn't like it though. Spent the afternoon limping around.

8 hours/12 hours. 40 minutes total, PE: 8. 217/14.

S Run - Train Grade - May 5

Last time I did this, it was 11.29 to the hill, 5x the train grade in 47-50 on 3.00, then home in 11.57; end with a quick trip around the block with Maylow.

This time it was 12.14 to the hill, 5x the train grade in 54 on 2.45, then home in 11.17; end with a quick trip around the block with Maylow.

Little less RI makes a difference.

6 hours/48 hours. 45 minutes total, PE: 8.
