Running 30:10 [1] 5.32 km (5:40 / km) +3m 5:39 / km
ahr:103 max:119

Very, very Easy with Kendal. Between finishing some work and snorkelling. Two stingrays and a much, much improved assortment of fish. Been overcast the last two days (Cold Front Warning yesterday!!! It's 23C!! Not as if my baby makers are going to fall off due to the inclement weather?!). Stayed in the water only an hour or so though.

Running 42:11 [3] 8.73 km (4:50 / km) +3m 4:49 / km

Wednesday Dec 27, 2023 #

9 AM

Running 30:20 [2] 6.21 km (4:53 / km)
ahr:130 max:146

Easy around the 'hood. Huge National Guard/Police presence this morning. 20-30? Two Al Qaeda Toyota pickups. Lots of AR15's. Really relaxing vibe.
HR was high. Lots of sweating going on.
NB. Bay was very choppy. Wind with a fetch? The snorkelling was much improved. Couple of baitballs. A stingray. Loads of various fish/schools. Just a better experience.

1 PM

Running 30:15 [2] 6.01 km (5:02 / km)
ahr:136 max:152

Easy double after a downpour. Humid. (No need to put down where I ran 'cos there's only one place to go.)

Tuesday Dec 26, 2023 #

6 AM

Running intervals 38:05 [4] 8.17 km (4:40 / km)
ahr:142 max:167

4x6mins. Ranged between 4 and 4:20 min K's. Really humid at 9am. Running area is extremely limited. (No beach running due to the coral washed up). The subdivision is about 3k of road. LSD on Friday......pffffffff. As Boxing Days go....mmmmm. Mags got humiliated. But I got my run in and the girls snorkelled over half the day. Eadie has never been happier. She loves this place. (There are a few things that make me sad, just like 20 years ago. One major thing is the health of the reefs. It's so obvious they're dying. It's like swimming around a chainsmoker.) All in all this place is beautiful.....it's when you squint and focus you see it's an illusion.

Running 41:33 [2] 9.01 km (4:37 / km)
ahr:129 max:137

Easy on the Mill before Mexico. Mixed feelings on the Treadmill. Am I really working? Yet.....yes....maybe I am?? Who knows ???
NB. Landed in an apocalypse. Millions of taxi drivers whipped up in a humongous monsoon. Rainfall that I've not seen since Noah (The Godawful) Movie.

Sunday Dec 24, 2023 #

2 PM

Running 45:40 [2] 10.4 km (4:23 / km)
ahr:128 max:136

Treadmill .....Urggggggh. Watched Bad Santa on mute which was funnier than FOX noNEWS with volume. Planned to run at 6am but the temps had plummeted like Chelsea down the Prem and I hadn't packed any tights.
NB. Had a cracking Christmas family meal at Cholon, Denver. Lots of giggles.
Easy run.

Saturday Dec 23, 2023 #

Note
(rest day)

Travel to Denver. Thought it was going to be highly stressful, but it really wasn't too bad. Didn't feel like I needed a day off, but no biggie.
NB. Turns out all of CO is desperate for snow.
NNB. Met Ryan and Nat at Southern Sun Brewing. Good spot.

LSD from Bilk to the Sheep Corrals. Shorts and T again. Felt off this morning so waited a bit. Things are generally ticking over nicely at the moment.

3x7mins long Hills up Sunshine Mesa Rd. Beautiful out, but I decided to go home and calculate my Lactate Threshold at 9000'. I think it's 146......we'll see.
NB. Lots of Bobcat action this morning, out the back window.
NNB. Shorts and T again.

ahr:131 max:146

Subbed this for a run. Trout Lake, fast dirty snow on slow unwaxed skis. Felt great. We need snow.
NB. Another $250 theft through Paypal. Basically someone has gone through every card on file. I have zero credit cards left. All suspended. It's somebody working for an Uber type startup in Austin called Flywheel (that I've never heard of). They've rinsed me! Until I get reimbursed.

Easy early morning in Ophir. HR was very low for the effort put in. Saw three bobcats at the mailboxes on the way home. Hunting rabbits.

Running 33:05 [1] 6.22 km (5:19 / km) +34m 5:11 / km
ahr:125 max:139

Easy around Vance. Felt great, but really pissed off. After a great morning, Newcastle lost on penners. Another $250 stolen by the same fraudsters different account. Then spilt wax all over the kitchen...90 mins of clean up. Grrrr.....just pleased I'm feeling really happy and physically good at the moment.
Busy couple of days ahead.

Alpine Skiing 2:10:19 [1] 28.75 km (4:32 / km) +3241m 2:54 / km
ahr:70 max:128

Day 3. Morning ski with Kendal. (Eadie dumped us for a friend). Skis got shredded on rocks. Bewt of a day, but we need more snow. Managed to faceplant right in front of Gus Kenworthy's (American Horror Story/Olympic Silver Medal fame) sister. She's never been so happy to see me. She loved it.
Really enjoyed skiing with Kendal.

Running 41:13 [2] 8.01 km (5:09 / km) +50m 5:00 / km
ahr:123 max:140

Easy in shorts and T in Illium. First day of new training block. Heart Rate Zones are way out. Watch has me at 137bpm in Z2....pfffff....no chance. Should be 126bpm. If it doesn't adjust I might have to manually sort it.

Nordic (skate) 49:30 [3] 9.25 km (5:21 / km) +141m 4:58 / km
ahr:126 max:149

Easy at Priest Lake. Some iffy grooming going on meant treacherously soft conditions. Another great day, spoilt only by $1000 in credit card theft. Dealt with it after.

Running 1:30:01 [1] 14.62 km (6:09 / km) +334m 5:32 / km
ahr:150 max:194

LSD up to Sunlight Mine and back. From the church retreat. Bewt of a day. Wanted to ski, but didn't fancy the people as most of the mountain isn't opening until tomorrow. Didn't see a soul and the views were pretty special.
Took things very Easy.
NB. HRM reading is bollocks. Time for a new battery?

ahr:78 max:143

Day 2. POW day. Nowhere near epic....but still a cracking start to the season. Quads were burning. Thick cloud above 9,000' so flat light.

Nordic (skate) 58:56 [3] 12.2 km (4:50 / km) +155m 4:33 / km
ahr:121 max:138

Running 36:16 [3] 6.21 km (5:51 / km) +152m 5:12 / km
ahr:118 max:134

Easy around neighbourhood. Got home and felt spritely enough to go for a quickie before the big match. All in all feeling way better than yesterday.
NB. Decent amount of snow falling.

Running 32:06 [3] 6.11 km (5:15 / km) +17m 5:11 / km
ahr:117 max:131

Easy on the road in Illium. Just felt shite today. Really tired. Wore the super shoes to take it easy on the legs.
NB. Finalising the target race for the first 1/3 of the year coming up. Very annoyed with some of the scheduling, but what can you do? It might end up being a good thing.
Target race is still a top 7 finish at the British Long. Masters wasn't even in the equation, but now I have to attend, it's pretty front and centre. Being only a week apart, both now take priority. New training block starts Sunday.

Running 1:05:57 [3] 8.51 km (7:45 / km) +279m 6:39 / km
ahr:124 max:140

Easy plod in 9" of snow. Up to the old farmstead at the back of Bilk Creek. Ahhhh, beautiful solitude.
NB. Been a rough week with very little accomplished. Hopefully the next couple of weeks it gets slightly warmer and the training volume goes up considerably.

Nordic (skate) 1:07:47 [3] 12.1 km (5:36 / km) +159m 5:15 / km
ahr:127 max:144

Easy at Trout Lake. Fresh snow (4") and -9C=Sandpaper. Virtually zero glide. Very slow going, but fun. (Except I almost hurled 3 times. Stomach is very wrong.)
Lovely weather.
NB. I've no idea how I've done it , but I've broken the brace on top of my left boot. They're only a year old and not cheap.

Steady on fast snow at Trout Lake. Just perfect conditions. The downhill made me realise how quick the conditions were. Barely poled.
Very warm 10C.

Alpine Skiing 33:33 [3] 19.87 km (1:41 / km) +2352m 1:04 / km
ahr:79 max:102

Day1. Spring Skiing. Perfect conditions. Almost T shirt weather. Nice place to start. Skied with Dave who's a docent. Never knew that. The lad can smash it and he's 70+. Another warm, bluebird day.

2 PM

Running 41:12 [4] 8.3 km (4:58 / km) +68m 4:46 / km
ahr:140 max:155

21mins at (nowhere near) Threshold pace. Sat in the car to listen to the ENG v SCO/NED v BEL Olympic Qualification drama end, so the sun dipped behind Wilson Mesa. Leaving treacherous conditions in Illium. Legs felt like I'd been on the mountain a couple of hours prior.

1 PM

Nordic (skate) 50:38 [3] 11.11 km (4:34 / km) +142m 4:17 / km
ahr:130 max:147

Mad start to the Nordic season. A couple of wobbles, but generally steady away, up and down Trout Lake. Not the fastest conditions, canny. Had to pole all the way down. No bare spots, just amazing snow and maybe eight others skiing.
Probably not the best wax job. I just scrapped the summer seal off and went.
I looked at last years stats and this is by far the better start to the season. I wasn't skiing like this until late Jan last season.

Running 26:03 [1] 4.53 km (5:45 / km) +45m 5:28 / km
ahr:121 max:136

Easy from the Trellis Bridge to remind myself how to run. In microspikes.

Had a rough night with stomach issues. Then had a long GJ round trip to drop the Mrs off at the airport. Got home and immediately went to bed.
NB. Did some World of O advent with Kendal.

Note
(rest day)

Took the Trouble and Strife to The Black Canyon. A lot of snow....stunning. Then took her for a romantic meal (Taco Gnar) so we could listen/watch the Manure game. Fortunately she's bought into Eddie Howe's Black and White Army and loved it as much as I did. A wonderful day, where running was never on the horizon (unless we'd have lost).
NB. First Day of the Season today. Eadie said the POW was great. The lucky girl. Kendal was in Gunnison and Hotchkiss playing Bball.

C • Very nice 11

ahr:118 max:134

Easy in sub-division. About 5"of snow. Got about a foot, but the road was ploughed. Whiteout conditions for most of this. Used micro spikes.
NB. Saw a huge owl by our window this evening.
