And last version of epic Mars Hill repeats before Deathride! 8 times this round. Warm-up, then alternating as hard as I could (standing allowed) and focusing on high cadence (no standing allowed):
5:19
4:05
4:38
3:57
4:58 (kinda zoned out on this one)
3:57
4:43
3:45
Faster in general than last week's version - only the last wasn't as fast as my last from that set, but don't think I had been pushing it as hard all the way through...

Woo! Second go at the ski area triple, far better than last time. Partly due to less wind, partly in better shape, partly having switched to a compact crankset and made my handle bars closer.
Tons and tons of people up at the Snowbowl today. Parking was nearly full on my first trip up, completely full by the second trip.

Morning run! Really love this loop. A good handful of others out, about half mountain bikers, half runners. ~Half with dogs, half without. (Yes, one of the mountian bikers had a dog with!) So nice to run in the mornings when it is crisp + cool!

Boo! I was going to do my 7x up Mars Hill, but then they closed a lane to repair a bad pothole. Net a good thing, but I didn't feel like stopping potentially each time down + up with 7 repeats, so tomorrow.
New loop, Mars Hill FUTS to trail that goes north, then along the tracks back. Along the tracks isn't the nicest though, probably won't repeat this one too often.
And then to Matador to grab coffee because we were out.
