Saturday: 2:45 on bike ~47 miles
Sunday: 1:55 trail run, ~10.5 miles

Got behind, so this will lack the colorful details I usually put in.

Saturday I took BB-JM's plan of doing 1.5 hrs in the morning and 1.5hrs at evening due to time constraints. The second 1.5 was cut short by a Quality vs Quantity decision. I was burned out by the end. I did intervals, I think.

Sunday was a group run in LostValley, with some other Chubbers! The Garmin logged only about 2000 ft of total climbing, I was hoping for more hills. Dont get me wrong, there were hills, but they werent the main feature. The main attraction was the SNOW. A few inches of soft stuff from Saturday, thankfully little ice. But it was enough to make my trail shoes, armed with the YakTrax, hit different spots on my feet. By mile 8 my feet were pained in 3 places: left foot along side of big toe, left foot back at side of ankle, and right foot under the big toe. The toe blisters stayed closed, the ankle one rubbed open. OUCH. It's about the size of a quarter too. The blister on the right foot has blood in it, but it's OK because of the callouses there.

Part of me is happy with this, it reminds me of the blisters seen on ultrarunner's feets. Makes me think I'm becoming one, haha. Another part of me worries about the next run, the next swim, and the potential for infection.

NUMERICS: just under 13hrs! No wonder I'm so tired.
SWIM: 3.125 mile or ~5550 yards or so
BIKE: 65 miles
RUN: 39 miles, right on goal target
