biking 51:36 [2] 13.6 mi (3:48 / mi)
Whately - South Deerfield loop. Trying to do a little fine tuning on my planned pacing for the Highlander tomorrow, i.e. very relaxed, trying to put out the absolute minimum effort possible and still keep the bike moving forward. Actually made it a very pleasant ride instead of the usual basically working as hard as I can ride. And the difference was only about 20 seconds a mile. Might have to try this more often, especially if I am going longer, but only if I can manage to keep the ego securely locked up.
About 60F, windy, a little cold for this fair weather rider. The same weather tomorrow (which is forecast) will be a little warm, but certainly acceptable.
As for goals for tomorrow, it seems like 3 hours should be a reasonable goal for the first half, based on the test runs. With the second half a little shorter and including the trail run, it should be a good bit quicker, except the body will be failing by then. So maybe another 3 hours, or 6 hours overall. Seems like a nice target. The only problem is leaving enough in reserve for the jumping contest afterwards. A target there of 5' would seem doable, except post-Highland even 3' may be difficult.
4/6 yesterday (ygol), the "learning" was a primer on the care and proper use of fry pans, the "organization" was getting all my maps for 2008 logged and filed and annotated (which revealed the mess underneath that is the pile of 2007 maps, next to be done).
