I am so worked. I would say that half of the time was actually level 4. Did the 5 waters ride with Aaron and Ken. Colvos Passage, Sinclair Inlet, hood Canal, Case Inlet, Car Inlet.

Started out with the old town bike team. This was suppose to be an easy ride but it never is. It was a hammerfest since they were only going 40. We hooked up with Aaron, Ken, And Hayes after about 10 miles. /my legs were sore from last night. It was a huge group 18 or so but they kept loosing folks who had enough. At one point Ken was telling me that it only takes one knucklehead to push the pace. abouit 20 minutes later at 27 mph I looked up as I was being dropped to see ken in the lead.

eventually the old town team peeled off and Ken Aaron and I continued on. Once again, Ken pulled 90% of the time and he would still drop me on the hills. If he dropped in his aerobars he was gone.

My average is a bit misleading because When I left Ken and Aaron I had 15 miles home and I basically just limped home at some pathetic painfully slow crawl.

I'm going to bed. Elevation and gps tracks will be posted later

PS Added the elvevation from the last time I did the loop. Almost 5k!!

Also, you can see our route at

This was the gps pic from when
I did the route last.

During the hard part of the ride my knee was starting to really hurt. That also influenced my decision to drop off the line. I took 400mg of I. It seemed to help and I iced it when I got home. It just feels heavy now.

Event: Bridal Trails 50k
 

paddle out of NWOC. headed out to lake WA. it was real choppy so i came back and went down to the locks. Miles and RVG joined in the fun.

My first loop of Bridal. Alex and Eric B smoked the course. i was definitely the week link

second loop. I was tired, it was much more difficult to see and the mud was way worse. Loads of fun

C • That mud slog in the dark w... 4

Warm up swim before lifting

core

Banner forest with Matt H and Alex. When people started dropping i considered calling Matt and bagging. i am glad that i didn't. This was by far the best riding to date. this place gets better every time i go there. We didn't even hit all the trails. It is many time better than any other spot around. There are some awesome trails out there. Matt and I are going to start going regularly. Next time will be the Friday after next.

C • Ride 4

AA legs

AA all shoulders. lots of sets and reps by low weight. My shoulders are knackered.

C • pseudonyms 1

lots of players so it was hard to get a good workout

Ran out at cougar with Matt, aaron, and Ken. Great run perfect conditions. It started pouring after i got in my car to go home. My interior knee has been hurting at about 1/2 hour into a run. So I doped up on IB, 800mg to see if that would make any difference. While I was able to run I still have pain. It is a verticle pain from the quad down past the patella. I am hoping that it is just muscular or tendon issues.

easy warm uo before lifting

all core mostly using balance and medicine balls

yassso 8s. It was real crappy out so I onlt did four. time include running to the track, recovery, and return

3:10
3:09
3:14
3:12

My leg were real heay and it was real stormy

Pretty sure i swam a bit more but lost count. Easy warm up swim before lifting

AA All legs baby. 3-5 sets of 20-30 low weight. started with the balls and progressed to free weight, machines, and the sled. 3-4 more weeks of this and i will be ready to start upping the weight.

Takes this old man a while to get the body ready for real hard training.

C • 25 hours! 5

More LSD. It wasn't raining out so i grabbed the chance to ride. It was nice and cold and i had the dark country roads mostly to myself. A little concerned about the de-ider sprayed on the road. Not sure if it was slick at all. i am going to continue riding easy for the next month and the add hills and intervals in Feb when my body is more aclimitized.

Now some of you may be thinking; wow Glenn that's alot of hours over the last few days. Well on New Year's Eve I told my wife that I loved her and I was getting a little bored. You know with injuries and the accident messing with my mind, My volume has been fairly low over the past month. Well she told me that I was very attentive and I should do what ever I wanted but that maybe I should just run more. So here I am with lots of hours.
