Tomorrow is my second race of the year. This one is an ultramarathon, and I'm running the third leg that is about 20 miles and 3800ft elevation gain and loss. Basically, I'm running a trail up a mountain and then back down. It's the Pocatello 50 (www.pocatello50.com). The first time this race is being held, and the course is awesome and located in the mountains I look at every day. I wish I could run the whole thing...someday I'll probably bike it
I took off Wed, Thurs, and today to get my legs fresh. Well, mostly off anyway. The past three days I've been screwing around with a sprinler system because I can't get the zones to work correctly for the auto-timer. Basically doing a lot of squats to look at the valves and walking back and forth between the valves and the timer.
And today I was at home to take care of a post-surgery wife and the baby.
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
