2 hours mountain biking with Ry on the last 2/3rds of the XTERRA biking course. I am so intimidated by this race. 

Green Pond -> Sardine Peak -> Maples -> Snow Basin -> Green Pond

Roughly 2100 feet climbing of the 3600 feet of the full course. How in the hay I am going to do the additional miles after the swim and before the run is beyond me. Race day adrenaline/stupidy? :)

 

The outlook point on top of Sardine Peak Trail.

Absolutely stunning up there!

*** CRAY CRAY morning: Timed my run perfectly to be able to have adequate time to shower and get to my cardiopulmonary clinical at the VA hospital. I "thought" I was supposed to be there at 8:45 a.m. Before jumping in the shower I decided to double check the time. STINK!!! It was already 7:12 and I need to be at the hospital at 8:00!!!! What was I thinking? Threw on appropriate attire and bee-lined it out of there! I am now done with the clinical and at the computer lab (didn't have time to grab my laptop) wondering if my classmates can smell my stink!!!!! NASTY!!!

*** One last thought: Last night I decided not to register for Boston. This morning I am questioning my decision. What to do?

My foot needed a relative rest day and so I took it. :)

Bike: 1:16:25, Random L10, 15 miles

** Ry surprised me with a new Prius C last night!!! It is Magnetic Gray and I LOVE it!!! It only cost me $1.73 in gas today to get to the U and back (it cost roughly $6.00 round trip in the Honda Pilot)! WAHOO!!!! :) :) :)

22 miles total.

20 miles, AP 8:07 (10 of which were with JohnnyV) and then 2 cool down miles with Ry, AP 9:14. I made him go slow because I felt completely drained of glycogen.  I shouldn't be surprised since my miles have not been what they should be. I even took a couple of breaks to talk to people on the trail. Hopefully I will recover nicely before XTERRA this Saturday. 

At mile 11ish I got a dead arm!!!! I had to basically run the remainder of my miles with my elbow flexed and my wrist supinated. WEIRD!!! On the bright side it made my foot unnoticeable!!! :) CRAZY!

The only thing that sounds good right now is orange juice. 

Waiting for the TOU reports to come in!! :) 

Happy Saturday.  

***************

Here is a pic of Sophia and Ry finishing the Spanish Fork 5K last week. I am amazed at how good Sophers looks after her fastest 5K to date. I am in awe of her running form!!! :)
