Running tempo (Trail) 1:10:54 8.07 mi (8:47 / mi) +1322ft 7:36 / mi
ahr:160 max:173 shoes: Inov-8 Mudroc 290
Even less ice today, pretty much a non-factor. But that, the mud, and couple of downed trees make a difference for sure. Thanks for going first today hughmac3! As I mentioned, I was in the mood to be the hound. Almost hit 70 minutes, which would have been particularly cool. Ah well. Two days in a row of this took their toll. Especially on the tips of a couple of my right toes. Amazing what a few grains of sand/dirt will do!

Batona Trail Update: Tom_O and I are on for a North to South Batona Trail hike/rogaine team shakedown event.
We'll be leaving Ong's Hat at 12 noon on Saturday April 2nd to simulate a rogaine start, and hike the 50 miles South into the evening, and through the night, planning to finish before sunup.
Since the cabins at Byrne are closed indefinitely, we'll lean-to or tent camp at Bass River at the terminus. Maybe. Or maybe just hop in the car and head back up to Byrne for the DVOA event! Mmm-hmm. ;)
Our biggest worries are chiggers and ankle stamina.

Colder, but still nice. Windy windy windy, scary windy! STILL some bad ice patches in the woods, but worth getting down there again.

It's interesting, the very slight downhill on the way TO work (and probably the less traffic) definitely made a difference on the way in.
7 AM
Biking (Commute) 45:58 [2] 10.69 mi (4:18 / mi) +407ft 4:09 / mi
First time to work from Swat on the bike ... VERY humid morning, so felt hot, even though it was only ~50F. Not much traffic in the morning made it fairly pleasant. Made a few wrong turns, but other than that, uneventful. The road is pretty mediocre, I'll have to keep riding the singlespeed to keep from futzing up the race bike. I'll have to dig out my spare tube, pump, and tire tool too, as I'm sure I'll be getting some flats.
Other than that worthwhile for sure! Weather good = bike to work!

12 PM
Walking/Hiking 40:00 [1] 2.5 mi (16:00 / mi)
Walked to the old house and back to the office -- prepping the house for the Mortgage Inspector. NICE warm day ... very humid though.
Biked to work too ... I'll be jacking my numbers bigtime once I get home this evening! :)

5 PM
Biking (Commute) 44:41 [2] 10.18 mi (4:23 / mi) +449ft 4:13 / mi
More traffic on the way home ... I'll try to leave on time at 4pm to beat some, but it's definitely not as nice as heading in. Roads mediocre and still a bit wet from snow runoff, and not the best biking route, but it'll do!

Running 41:57 4.06 mi (10:20 / mi) +515ft 9:13 / mi
ahr:134 max:161 shoes: Inov-8 Mudroc 290
Ridiculous to try the woods at all ... incredibly treacherous still. Sheet ice everywhere. I went through the woods for a bit, but don't like to do too much of that in Crum Woods. Hit the track for a few laps, and IT was still snowed in too! Gave up. :)
Good to get out though.
Our sun room is ROASTING in the sun. We really don't need to heat the house on a sunny day, it's awesome. In the winter. I'm thinking curtains or louvers in the summer. We'll see!

Finally remembered to take our zoo card on my run, so did a couple of laps. Neat! Some kind of antelope was racing me (really!), and the mountain lion was watching me really intently. Nice and quiet, not many people there.
