Training Log: cmorse

Early start at greenhouse for Biocontrol release, then off to RI..

Gorgeous afternoon at Colt SP. Unfortunately, after about 90 minutes my legs were already getting sore, not like cramps, but just really, really achy. Only thing I can think of is my nemesis of not being able to drink as fast as I'm sweating, though I drank a lot on the ride to RI, so should have been reasonably pre-hydrated. 80ish, low humidity, breezy and there was definitely a lot of salt buildup on my arms, hat etc. so I'm definitely losing a lot through sweat.

Not sure what the solution is, I've never been a good warm weather runner, perhaps I just aim to power hike the first 12 hours, run a few hours at daybreak as tolerated and hope for the best. Not optimistic about reaching my goal in August at this point.

Been waking up at daybreak, which these days is around 4:30, though not actually getting out of bed until after 5. Should really find a way to get some organized exercise in mid week, but by end of the day I'm usually spent...

All day conference across campus. 75 minutes for lunch, thought about going back to TLS and getting some work done, but decided to just go for a midday walk instead... Good choice..

Missed hills tonight, just got too busy... would have been a nice night for it...

Event: WCOC Ratlum Mountain Summer Meeting and BBQ
 

Gravel trails & dirt road in Goodwin SF and neighboring areas with Ken, Cindi & Scott. Mid 40s to start, maybe 60ish at the end. Everyone else on full suspension mountain bikes, but nothing technical, so I was fine.
