This is the week that Gina and I race our 5th 6 hours of Warrior Creek in Wilkesboro NC. It will be our first time on the same team. We'll be racing duo coed and I will be taking the first lap and hopefully not blowing up by going out too fast.
4/2/13 - Ran my usual 6 mile loop with a 1.5 mile cool down. Ran the loop in 44:17.
4/3/13 - Ran 6.75 miles at the cove. Ran up Hi Dee Ho, down buck, and finished running Hotel.
4/5/13 - Did a 12.5 mile mtn bike ride to preview the course.
4/6/13 - Raced 3 laps for 43 miles. Raced a 1:20, 1:11, and 1:14 lap. The first lap was 3 miles longer than the others. My times were OK but not on what I had hoped. We ended up with a respectable 7th out of 17 teams. I do think I pushed to hard in the first lap. In the middle of the lap I hit a wall and it took me awhile to recover.
4/7/13 - Ran 7.25 to preview the Mill Mountain Mayhem Course.
Total for the week: 21.5 miles running and 55.5 miles mtn biking.
4/9/13 - Ran the usual 6 mile loop in 43:25 and did a 1.5 mile cool down.
4/9/13 - Ran 4 miles in five fingers later that night.
4/10/13 - Ran 10 miles at the cove. Ran the road in, comet, enchanted forest, little bell, schoolhouse to Happy Valley and then went back.
4/12/13 - 8.6 miles of track work. Did 2x1200m and 4x800m with a 2 min RI (4:36, 4:36, 2:56, 3:06, 3:02, 3:02). My track times a quite a bit slower than they should be and compared to a year ago. My endurance is good but my turnover isn't there.
4/12/13 - Later in the afternoon we marked the Mill Mountain Mayhem Course.
4/13/13 - 4 miles of mtn biking to check the MMM 10k course.
4/14/13 - 19.5 miles running up Poor Mtn to Break Rd. and back. See details here - http://connect.garmin.com/activity/297998219
Total for the week: 53.2 miles running and 4 miles mtn biking.
The countdown for the San Juan Solstice 50M is 2 months. Training is going well and my attitude is picking up. I've done a little recon for the race this week and the excitement is starting to build.
