I had lunch date today. She wanted to meet for coffee, but I told her that I had a 3.5 hour run to do. Without missing a beat she says “Ok, text me when you finish “.
At lunch I told her I was training for a 50mi run. She says “that is so great!” She is A KEEPER!

Hardest event I have ever done. The course is full of incredibly scenic views, but the course is a man eater. Most of the climbing in packed into a 10 mile stretch and very steep, and very technical. A couple of scrambles.

Wednesday up and down the mountain X 3. RPE of 8. I maintain a 139 bpm + for 90 minutes. Pretty decent for a guy in his mid 60s.

Easy hour with my beautiful partner. Left knee is a stiff and sore. I think it’s the hamstring pulling on the connecting tissues.

Well. I bit off more than I could chew. The climbing wasn’t the problem, it was 30 miles of effort above 9,000 ft. Timed out at mile 36. I now know why only 1 male per year in my AG the last 2 years finished.

Did a 20 miler today at lower altitude (8,000’).
Great trails at the Hartman Rocks trail system. Ran the second half in Gunnison, just in case the weather got worse. Wind was 20-30 mph.

You have to love a girl that washes your trail shoes and air dries them. Without being asked. After following a guy to Arizona to sit in a hotel room while he runs through the desert.

It is hotter than the hinges on the gates to hell in Austin. The heat index was 94 when I started at 6:20 this morning. 🥵🥵🥵
Then the sun came up and I thought I would burst into flames.

Spring time slow and steady. Rained about 3” last night. Not trails, only hard surfaces.

The unique flat David.
All of the essentials for before and during race. Includes 1 large drop bag to be accessible out and back.
Also, if you look closely you will see that I am including an extra pair of feet.

It’s really hard to leave when the weather is like this.
But, stay tuned for more adventures in about 10 days.

Mostly hiking practice today. I did 5 hours worth of chores and errands (8,000+ steps and 25+ floors of stairs) before ever lacing up the running shoes. Muddy and slippery trails meant scrambling up and down hills in places and one epic “feet flying up in the air “ fall. 😂

I thought it best to take it easy since I was running less than 20 hours after coming out of general anesthesia. 🤷🏼♂️

Makes 47.8 miles in the last 7 days. Warm, 70+ % relative humidity. Windy, but only felt a breeze every once in a while in the woods. Next week the new adventures begin.

Ran the back trails that nobody uses. More technical and more steep punchy climbs.

The quick brown fox is working for the highway department. I guess that’s what they mean by full employment in the job market.

I haven’t seen any runners yet. I will check out the trail options tomorrow.

That is the tail of a disappearing Coral snake. He was in the middle of the trail when I came upon him.

The course is the course. The topography and environment have not changed.
1) weather makes a huge difference. The poor weather conditions will return in future runs.
2) working as a team is a definite game changer.

DNF at 20 miles.
A combination of conditions and circumstances led to this.
Race report later.
