trail race up Mt Baldy - starts at 6k ft, ends at 10k...

a pretty fun time. well except for the part where the start is 4000ft below the finish, and the first thing you do is run 500' down. but after that it was about 4 miles on a fire road to the top of the ski lift, then another 3 or 4 up a single track trail to the summit. it was skinny enough that you couldn't pass at all, but by that point we were all going about the same speed (slow).

so the funny part that they don't mention in the brochure is that when you're finished the race, you're still 8 miles from your car and on the summit of a 10,000 ft peak. only had to run down halfway though, then we got to take the chairlift. had the camera along in the camelback.

rode out along the PCH past malibu to zuma pt. I'd been kinda scared to go out onto pch by myself, but today I found a pretty sizeable group so I just latched onto them and let them break traffic. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, about 10 miles out it opens up a lot and the shoulders are just fine.

It also occurred to me after I was already about 20 miles from home that this probably wasn't the best way to loosen up the day before a trail race straight up a mountain.

palisades to the hub and back. not too bad out. a little hot, but I didn't get out until 10.

after some tricky negotiating (ok so I just convinced them I'm worthless for any problems that might come up), I got next weekend off. pawtuckaway here we come. anyone want to give me a ride from boston airport saturday morning?

this is getting fun

miserably hot
