Workout kind of rough, wbagged the cooldown after .5. I was going to do the other 1.5 in the evening but it didn't look fun :)

Woo Hoo! Got a pure 4x1 with no slowdowns, first time in a year! 11.8, 12.1, 12.5, 12.8. I was still bouncy on mile 3, this strength training is really working.

The nicest day in a month, and it turns out to be race day. Got to love it! Nobody fast showed up so Toni was not going to be able to chase me down again, but it was 28 degrees instead of -2 so I would still be able to see at the end of the race. We started of briskly, uphill and into the wind for 2 miles. A 430 foot gain but I still got a 6:43 and a 7:39 (steeper). Not too hard but definitely into the yellow. I topped out well ahead of everyone and started cruising down into Apline at around an easy 6 flat plus. With the exception of the little hill on North County drive (6:55) all the rest of the miles were 6:08 to 6:22 or so. The lights turned green as I got to them, the air was brisk and happy, and the sun was shining. Even the temple hill didn't look particulary difficult, and that mile was 7:07. I hoofed it in at a sub 6 to win by 8 minutes. I guess that makes me the Utah champ so far for the year, ha ha :)
