Stadiums 35:15 [1] 1.11 mi (31:46 / mi) +524m 12:53 / mi
ahr:154 max:183
80 degrees, sun and humid stadiums. Since it was PR day i started in the sun with everyone. I also started with a liter bottle of ice.
I finished with an empty bottle, barely. I do not know how people do this without water, I would have been literally actually dead. At the end someone had watermelon packed in ice. Everyone else ate the watermelon. I scooped the ice into my shirt. At least the ride home was pleasant.
Was not able to push hard so maybe my legs won't be toast today. At 59:24 for the month so I might have to go find 36 minutes this evening if the storms roll through.

Plan: Run over Hale, water at Zool, then back via Field, Tom and Willey.
Which was going well until someone's knee went twang on the Ethan Pond Trail. I won't say who but my track should give away who ran the last mile down the road to get the car.
Humid, not too-too hot. But hot.

Whoo boy more stadiums.
Started out running down the bigs. Got ahead of most of the crowd and fell in with Joey and Emily. We didn't turn when told and kept going into the shade. I ran to get a full tour in 30m, and then did 13 more sections in 10m to do 50 in under 40, which felt pretty damn good. I do not have the pep to really lay down right now at a sprint, but maybe that's the 50k from this weekend still in my legs.
Nice and cool at least. Not sure that will last.
Still so good to be back. Huge crowds, feels like 2013.

ahr:157 max:207
Pemi-ish Loop. The original plan was up the Bonds and down Franconia Brook, but that sounded boring, so we went to Zealand instead. Lovely day up, although Mel wasn't feeling great for the first hour or so. Nice yog across the Bonds and down to Zool, and then water at Zool, and the great run out Ethan Pond. Talked to thru hikers for a while too! Then a bit slower down Thoreau Falls, and then faster, and the river crossing was simple. Some of us were slower on the little ups the rest of the way in, but 30 miles ain't nothing to sneeze at. Way less vert than a real Pemi, which is kind of nice. Warm in the valley.

Trail Run 4:03:40 [1] 14.77 mi (16:30 / mi) +1316m 12:55 / mi
ahr:139 max:197
Trail run up to NH. Miscommunication let to me and Lincoln and Jess going to different parking lots, theirs without cell service. After waiting for a while we started hiking, got service, and made a plan and met on the Bee Line trail, after I saw some bear on the Brook Trail.
My plan had been to do a figure 8 up Brook, down Champney Falls, up Bolles, up Bee Line, down Liberty, the latter of which it says is runnable. Once I met them, we went over the summit and out to the the sisters, one of which has a radio repeater on it which Lincoln and I were interested in. Then down the Champney Falls trail which is lovely, and the falls are very cool, one in this 20-foot-wide chasm, but quite dry. Then I had the option of a 40 minute car ride or a 5.8 mile run on a trail which was apparently quite runnable. Even with 300m of ascent and descent I made it back to the car in 70 minutes.
The Bolles trail is a great trail, and only 2h20 from Boston. Nice evening run loop like Franconia?
Also, we came up with a new SI unit: the Marion, which is a unit of regret. Jess had about 3 kilomarions knowing that I was going to run more miles than she was.

Note
I guess I should have a May/June goal thing?
In May I failed at 200 miles running but exceeded 40 (and 50) hours. I guess I hadn't planned in the biking.
In June I should be close to 50h again and nowhere near 200 miles on foot, but I did make it 464 miles biking so far so that's something.
I guess a week-plus of biking across part of the country will do that.

Yikes NP is hard after not doing it for 15 months. 10th year of NP, too. Cool and breezy, and a cloud deck pushed in a few minutes in which made it tolerable. I think my legs are going to feel it tomorrow. 45 sections in 41 minutes, definitely positive splits.
Going to start logging these as "stadiums" since it's only kind of walking.
But I am not going to go back through all the other stadiums and change them (I say this now … at least …). Unless there is some "choose activities beginning between 5 and 7 a.m. on Wednesdays with <3 miles and >10:00/mile and >300m of elevation gain" option in AP.

Run out to Longfellow, 7:30s for three miles along the river felt good. There was a woman running maybe 7:32s that I slowly caught and then slowly dropped and then paralleled on the Boston side as I took the islands. Then I got passed by a guy but he stopped running about half a mile later.
A slight sprinkle and then a huge rainbow!

Was v tired and probably just needing to catch up on sleep from last week's adventures so didn't log any hours today.
But, I did kill an FDF barehanded. We were playing with my nephew by my lake, and he had rejected his blue sun hat so my brother-in-law was wearing it instead. We were being pestered by an FDF which landed on the hat, and I gave it/him a good whack and said FDF fell to the ground, lifeless.
I was proud.
Alas, this seems early for FDFs and I think I am going to invest in a blue hat soon. I should probably get a blue helmet for rollerskiing, too.

Attackpoint and my watch splits do not get along. I may be doing my watch splits wrong.
Workout was 7x400, but I wanted to do at least 3000m, so I stuck an 800 in the middle. Which meant that for the second set of 400s, the first two had less rest. Oh, and I haven't run in two weeks.
All of this made it very hard. Pretty happy I didn't do a humidity run yesterday.

Today was much better. I rode the first half-ish, to where I could get a bus to Boulder to work from "home" the rest of the day. Some traffic/stress through Longmont, but some nice, quiet stretches of road: "Kansas with hills."
Then hugs goodbye as they took the bike paths south.

ahr:67 max:127
Today was … rough.
The first 20 miles were fine. Uphill with a headwind, but eventually the wind became more of a cross-tail and we ground up the grade.
The next 10 miles were great. Downhill, with the wind, coasting the flats and small ups with two lanes on our side and a good shoulder.
The next 20 were awful, tons of traffic, fast and loud. It would have been bad enough without the blind lady. At one point I went to investigate a traffic jam ahead and wound up going 40 downhill with the wind.
We finally got off 287 and it didn't get much better. For a while it was quiet but then the road south was very trafficky and had minimal shoulder and enough rolls that cars stacked up behind us.
At least the RV park was away from I-80 and we were lulled to sleep by the Big Thompson (and not washed away).

So last night I wrangled a vehicle and took the thru-hikers to their trailhead. And then I decided it was a nice morning why not take a quick walk with them and carry the heaviest pack. So I did. Lovely morning, nice views. All in snow, quick run down.
Came up with an idea for an app where past thru-hikers could find out when there are nearby thru-hikers needing a ride and get an alert. I would use this in the Whites!

Ride track got all jankified by Strava because I don't know why but I think I pushed a weird button on my Suunto? Putting it all here using Jesse's distance and time.
Interesting day today. Longest climb anyone had ever done on a bike (I think): 27 miles and well over 1000m. Up to 10800', too, which means thin air. But absolutely beautiful. Lots of stops on the way up for peeing and Shawn's ankle and general sanity and well-being, but good spinning along the way.
Then right before the the summit we had two cars behind us on a narrow, curving road. One comes by, the second comes by and swerves into us. We are all angry. And then the guy pulls into the parking lot at the top!
So do we. We let him have it, and he refuses to apologize, but gets pretty sheepish when Mike, who is 6'4" and about 230, gets out of the truck. The guy admits that he can't read when I ask "did you see the 'blind cyclist'" thing? Anyway. Mike said he smelled booze and I wanted to sic the State Patrol on both ends of the road to nab him. Child endangerment, too, he had his kid along for the ride. I apologized to the kid for yelling. We have the whole thing on tape (multiple, I think) and I said "send it to Wyoming State Police because getting a call from a trooper sometimes will set someone right." But not really my call.
Long, steep descent Shawn did about as well as can be expected, then long gradual down with a couple of short kickers to Laramie. On the way into town there were a lot of storms nearby, but we only saw lightning in the distance and didn't hear thunder or feel rain until we were pulling in.
Last day in the saddle tomorrow: 90ish miles to Colorado. Mostly, but not entirely, downhill.

Today's fun was I-80. There's no way to cross the country reasonably without a couple of short Interstate sections, and this was one. Everyone was traumatized by their last Interstate section, which was windy and hard. But this time we had not one, not two but three Wyoming state patrol vehicles trailing us in a low-speed police chase.
We did a mile on the highway, then off on small roads for a while (past the Sinclair refinery, which didn't have a huge dinosaur) and then several miles on a closed-and-milled section of pavement. Both directions on the other side, but the riding was terrible. Eventually Crystal and I found a 6" portion of unmilled pavement on the right side and we tightroped for 5 miles with Shawn holding a pretty good line. But this and the grooved pavement had rattled us quite a bit.
Then it was five miles on the highway shoulder itself. New pavement, no obstructions, and the state patrol slowing traffic. It was almost pleasant! Then one of the patrolmen paced us down to the finish line, where we loaded the bikes into the pickup to camp, which is off course.
The camp is great, by a cold, fast river (we dunked), across the street from a bar with live music and inhabited by CDT thru-hikers. I made fast friends and am giving them a ride to the trail tomorrow. I am very excited!

Another lovely day for a bike ride. We had favorable winds the whole way, and only had about 15 miles of not good pavement. The last 30 miles were quite nice, even with a 200m climb. Long, straight sections on a false flat with a tailwind that we rolled at 19 mph. Then once over the hill we rolled into town at 21 mph. Not bad for a blind lady. A couple of steep rollers into Rawlins.

Previous highest training weeks by miles were on the order or 140 (big ski weeks at MSA, and this past winter for my 100k day).
I covered more than 200 miles last week. I'm already at 130 miles this week and should top 400 by week's end. Which is going to make the "miles by week" chart pretty janky. June will also be my highest mileage month by the end of the first week (this past February was 375).

A lovely day on the bicycles today. Mostly good pavement, one big climb that we spun up pretty well, and some nice tailwinds.
We have above normal temperatures, but we're high enough that it's not too hot. The above normal temperatures mean that there are no thunderstorms and that it's not breezy, but what breeze does kick up is a tailwind. So once we made the big climb today we rolled along at 18 to 20 mph with the breeze at our backs. Very little traffic, too.
We're staying in Jeffrey City, a town of about 25 people which had 5000 when I was born. Then the uranium mine closed, and everyone left. It's beautiful here, with 9000' mountains in the distance and rocky formations nearby, but this is the only town for 120 miles.

Once again managed to stop my watch in the middle of the ride.
Warm/sunny day today, lots of false flat climbs and descents. Nothing too bad. The most fun was a couple miles of grooved pavement we strugglebused across, but there was a pilot car leading strings of cars across so we mostly had the road to ourselves.
Good views, high desert with mountains receding into the background.
Looks hot the next couple of days, though, but not too windy.
