easy swim after getting back to STL. pool was crazy busy, shared a lane with PBCSO guy who was cranky as usual. body feels pretty good actually, just some general fatigue.

Event: Thumper & Break up Adventure Race
 

Extreme Break Up AR with Space Monkey. we won overall!!!! not a tough race on paper but we had a lot of drama...a crash caused by me, big winds on paddle/bike, 4 flats. just kept going fast (fav quote of the day by andrei "this is 24-hour pace, we need to be going 8-hour pace, no saving!") and stayed in the mix, then built a lead in the last trek/bike to finish out the day. andrei's nav was superb, despite the sketchiness of the clues (lots of "dead tree" and "driftwood" and my favorite "none"). really fun time.

leaving for the Break Up EXTREME! today. if i don't come back, it's Space Monkey's fault.

for some reason my Garmin decided to forget this workout, so all i have is total time. is it the solar flare?

UPDATE: never mind, i found it buried deep in the Garmin guts, dated 31-Mar-2007. i don't think i even owned a bike then!

butterfly day! hard stuff but im getting a little better. got to meet Bill at practice who raced FPC in Moab a few weekends ago.

also, that sleep number is no joke. came home last night exhausted, went to bed at 6:45PM!!

around and around and around the trails at work. they just put fresh mulch out so i couldn't resist!

super easy jog around FP. saw TJ and Dale but they were too fast for my HR cap so let them go. found a new-to-me piece of sweet singletrack (bt Jewel Box and WFP) and cruised that for a bit. overall a nice morning and a good shake-out for the legs after last night.

main set 20x100.

3x8min strength intervals, made my wattage targets each one for the first time ever!! thanks metallica!!
