Probably not the smartest thing I have ever done, but after 4 weeks of not "running", I hopped back on the marathon training regimen. Reasonably happy with my time, considering, but my calves got rocked. Doing the old man walk for a couple of days...
Went to Erin's new initiative. Trail and Off Trail Sports -- Twin Cities Meetup. Fun new MB trail at Carver Lake in Woodbury. Wasn't sure where the trail started and ended. I ended up starting in the middle. A bit tentative.... The trail is only two weeks old and a bit loose at points. Still having nightmares about leaving the trail and plummeting to my death. I guess this isn't Canada.
Hooked up with the Meetup group. Nobody looking to bomb anything... I did get to see/ride Erin's new bike. Nice!
This trail is currently an intermediate MB'ers dream. Wide, some little bumps, and the far eastern section has some great flow. Long curvy straights, slightly downhill with a lot of interesting humps/bumps. Fast and fun. Did it twice.
