Event: US Team Trials for WOC '11
Running race 42:27 [5]
National Capital Race 10km
A tale of two races in one. Had I quit at the 5 km mark with my split of 19:37 I would have been really happy with my race.
Sadly, the second half of the race did not go well. I started the race with the 40:00 pace bunny and evidently he was way fast over the first few km which came back to haunt me.
The goal was around 40 so I guess I should be happy enough considering my total lack of intensity workouts, but I like the idea of running some faster 5kms over the next while to drop that time.

Running intervals 1:00:00 [3]
First time out with the OOC running group for some intensity. Legs felt ok, although everything is tight today.
Combination of some terrain speed running, a 1+km loop of the park and then some longer sprints in the taller grass and paths near the transitway.
As per usual, running intervals on even the slightest uneven ground made me feel like my form totally falls apart.

Note
CCC's hosting 2 Nordic World Cups in Dec 2012. Quebec City and Canmore.

Sounds like the Quebec City will be sprints, probably on the Plains of Abraham course. Very cool. Dec is a cold month though, expect at least one race to be cancelled and lots of Euro complaining about it being below -10. Early season waxing in eastern Canada is also really tricky.
Paging the US Ski Federation. Anytime you'd like to step up to the plate and host some WC's would be a nice start.

Running 55:00 [3]
Chelsea Tues Night Training, a hard workout to log. Starting from the Visitor Centre Dave had us doing loops of the packed gravel trail near there, going from a slow pace to quite a quick one. Total running time (including super slow warm-up and cool down was 55. The hard pace was pretty quick in the middle and I felt ok, could have pushed a bit harder.
Dave being Dave was being all coy about how many laps we were doing. I wonder what would happen if some mega fast guys or girls randomly showed up and dropped him?
