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 :)

A positively brutal calf and quad workout, lots of core too. The two mile warmdown was more of a stumble, trying to stay on the treadmill at 9.1...

This was a time trial to determine effectiveness of 33 strength workout sessions since October. I was not pleased with the outcome, but there were certainly no muscle faults! Mainly an oxygen delivery fault, which is being addressed with the next 12 seesions of Frappier Distance Protocol. Mile 1 was 5:32, felt easy. I caught up to the truck that was putting out the cones, had a 5 second delay while they showed me where to turn and I had to go easy on the ice. Mile 2 was 6:09 as a result. Then I had to stop and tie my shoe, wait a minute, maybe this race wasn't so bad after all. Especially since it was 11 degrees and I was wearing a bunch of winter gear. No matter, the 6 weeks of distance protocol ends just in time for the Yeti so I should get a good read at that point.

2 miles in the gym on the TM before the upper body workout, then later this morning I went to my first distance protocol session at the hospital. Some of those intervals got as long as 2 minutes, and two of them were run at 20% incline and 8 MPH! Nasty stuff, definitely going to do something :) The 2 minutes were 11 MPH at 3%.

First hospital speed session, kind of wimpy, so they are going to use the level 2 protocol.

2 on the TM in the early morning, then another distance protocol session. Nasty stuff in there, like 40 seconds at 13.5 MPH on a 10% grade. We'll see if it does anything.

Volume equivalent, really 43 minutes of straight up and straight down the mountain as fast as you can go.

Progression run on the treadmill, was much harder than usual (had to drop back to jogging pace 4 times, ended at 13.2 for one minute), I guess I shouldn't try two consecutive speed workouts. Oh well, I can do a nice easy run tomorrow. Of 16 miles :)
