Another run around South San Francisco before work and travel home.

Slept in a bit but still lots of time until I have to go to work so headed to the gym this morning.

Headed out early again this morning to get a longer run in before spending some time with Teeny and then flying out to San Francisco. When I checked the weather I thought I saw that it was -5, this was probably not right. Ended up I didn't have enough warm clothes on for this run and after 30 min I was pretty cold. Especially in some areas where pretty cold can be very painful. Decided to turn around and head home and just enjoy some extra time with Teeny.

When I got home I saw that the temperature was now somewhere around -12. So either the temperature dropped 7 degrees in an hour, or the weather app didn't upgrade when I thought it had.

Stars training at Bechtel park. A bit of ski-o and then some orienteering. The skiing was pretty poor given that the trail is all ice.

Up early again to ride this morning. K-way went to the gym and I went to the basement.

Up early to get a run in before Kristen had to go to work. Loops in the park this morning.

Treadmill hill workout. 8 times 3 min on (12% @ 5mph) and 1 min recovery.

Event: Snowshoe Raid Adventure Run
 

Looking back on our race I feel like we had a good plan with one fatal decision. We headed north doing the course in a counter-clock wise way. I was surprised that we ended up breaking trail all the way to 57 which was pretty tiring. We had decided after 56 that we would enter the matrix and if we got there with more than an hour we would try to clear the course. We arrived there at 1:50 so we made the call to try for everything. This was the one fatal decision. Looking at the distance we covered if we had dropped one control in the matrix I think we could have gotten everything else, but in the end we ended up coming out of the matrix with only 15 min to spare and had to high tail it back to the finish getting no further points.

Still a fun day out in the woods and my nav was pretty good overall.

Out for a run in the earlier morning. It was very neat to get out for a run this morning. There was a lot of fog in the air and since it was -20 it was freezing on everything it touched. The downside is that right away my eye lids started to freeze. When I got home I was pretty frosty, which caused Aubrey to announce that I was very "scary".

Skate skiing at Bechtel park. Conditions were pretty good.

This was a hard but enjoyable run. Ran the Grandctrail down to Lackner woods and back. Felt like 80% of this run was like running in sloppy sand.

Tried a few thing differently forvthis run. I was worried about my water freezing so instead of bottles or a bladder I user bubba coffee mugs. This worked really well. Also instead of wearing a jacket as I normally would at this temperature I just wore long sleeves. I found I wasn't as wet as I would be from sweat and thus I wasn't as cold either.

Riding the trainer watching basketball. Had a break at the 35 min mark because Aubrey wasn't napping and needed her diaper changed before she would lie down again.

Got up with Kristen (who was going to her body pump class) and headed to the basement to ride the bike.

A rather cold run this morning down to Bingeman's and back. Was nice to be the first set of tracks in the snow this morning, but this also made it a bit slower as well.

Riding the trainer while watching football. Was interrupted around the 40 min mark because someone wasn't sleeping and was busy playing in her crib. After speaking with the little tomato she followed orders and fell asleep for the rest of the afternoon.
