Fun single Carbo with Brad and Andy, on their way to 2x, 3x. Felt good. Knee OK, not perfect, coming down. But fastest descent yet on the knee.

Lot to mine: 32:00/18:00

C • Pace 1

A shadow of my miles a year ago, but it was generally a positive week. Knee held together on some increased miles and increased intensity. We'll see where things go.

Time to think about a Vorberg recon. Sometime this week, I think.

My first mistake, which became clear when I was dropped before the first switchback on the 2nd lap, was going under 25:00 to the flag this Wed.

Double Carbo, with a big group. Liv, Mike, Dave (?), Luke, Brad, and AJW (on his way to 4x). Full switchbacks. Hung a bit off the back toward the end of the first climb. Popped off early on the second. Times better than last week, though. Felt the knee a bit on the second descent, so took it easy down.

Lot to flag (up/down)
#1 25:40/17:00
#2 25:56/18:00

Pretty happy even if Luke, Brad, and AJW put the hurt on.

Theraband work on abductor and medius. We'll see. Seemed to bother things.

C • Adductors 2

Fun session at Track. Knee let me go a little further and a little faster than last week. Good to see guest runner Luke Nelson.

1mi wu/cd
8 x 200 w 200 cd
4 x 400
At least a mile of hippity hoppities.

Unplanned time trial up Carbo. Full switchbacks up/down. Really on the rivet last quarter of the way.

Lot to flag (up/down): 24:46/17:10 (plus :20 gasping for breath at the top)

C • good effort 5

Quigley. Knee a bit stiff, but the running felt easy. Nice.

Unplanned rest day. Things just got away from me with the practice and the coaches clinic and K under the weather. Knee won't mind.
