RUN 1:52 12 miles, about 9:22
BIKE 1:05 16 miles
RUN :46 5 miles
Day one is done! This is a repeat of last Saturday's workout that I did a week ahead of time. Big difference here was the weather -- this time around it was much cooler. I thought that might translate to a faster pace, but no.
The first run felt great, I just kept it easy and tried to take advantage of any downhill segments on the Centennial trail. I did an EFS shot right at the beginning then again at the half way point.
The bike was on Puppy, starting off with another EFS for an out-n-back. The original plan was to ride towards CCP, but I was having fun in the Katy dust I guess because I stayed there the entire time. Aside from a coating of dust on everything and a German Shepard that lunged at me -- unremarkable. I just a pace of about 70-75%.
The last run was hard to start and took a lot of mental pushing. Another EFS to start, then off on the Katy. The original plan was to run the opposite direction, but there's less shade that way. So I ran by the stinky BBQ again and watched as each mile slowly ticked by. I walked each mile for only 30s or so as a reward for running the mile. I was holding a great pace considering how tired I felt. But it was all in my head.
We had a group lunch afterwards. I had my recovery bucket, but we sat there for 2.5hrs and by the end I was falling asleep! The drive home was sleepy too, not a great idea!
