Event: Bridal Trails 50k
 

First lap of Bridle Trails relay. I felt good and didn't go out too hard. I felt pretty solid.

C • Smokin' 4

2nd lap of relay. The slower time is mainly a result of the darkness and inability to avoid the mud-pits. The course seemed really slow on this lap compared to the first. I settled in a good rhythm though and it was nice to pass several of the 50k solos out on the course. It gave me some motivation to catch the next runner. I almost fell several times and then I finally tripped over a root and went down about 300m before the finish. It was a fun event and I'm glad I did it.

Cooldown jog after race with Eric.

Night ride at Banner with Hayes and Glenn. Good fun ride. My favorite part was riding up the creek-bed. No bears sighted.

Arrived at the ferry early, so I did some spinning on the waterfront trail in Lincoln park. The Olympics were stunning with fresh snow at sunset.

Hit up Mt. Baker today for my first time. Didn't huck any cliffs since I was skiing by myself, but it looks like there is plenty of potential there. Snow was dumping all day although it was a bit heavy. Still it was a good half-day and I skied hard.

Hit up Stone Gardens for some bouldering. I'm still pretty weak, but I climbed a couple of V2's, but mostly V1s.

Easy run over to Green Lk. and around. My foot doesn't hurt too bad unless I go up steep hills or hit off-camber stuff. I can feel a loose tendon in there, so I'm not too happy about that, but I think I can keep running on it. I'll keep an eye on it and if it gets out of control I guess I'll have to take it easy.

Ran up to Carkeek and back via my loop. Added the north bluff viewpoint onto the normal loop today. Felt pretty good, but my right ankle has a sharp pain at times. I think I might have twisted it in the mud on Sat, but I don't recall.
