4 myles - 27:10

Grigs - 4:00 P.M.
70s, South West wind, dry
mind/body - ready to go!
easy effort

Prescribed workout: 30 minutes easy with hill sprints

Actual workout: 4 myles 27:10 avg. 6:47 - 10x10x10 hill sprints

Ready to go! Instead of my normal 3 x 1 minute hill sprints, I did 10 - 10 second sprints up a 10% grade. It's supposed to kick start the neurological system and I certainly felt more speed with less effort on the way back.

The work is done and now I just have to run a smart race. I leave tomorrow so I can have a little down time and soak it all in. They are forecasting showers for late Friday and all day Saturday so bring on the mud!

Good luck Fast Ed! As always, run fast and take chances. Running a smart race is over rated...

Good luck Scott! I'd say the top-two spots are tied up (Braje, Roes), but there's still room on the podium. Look forward to hearing how it all plays out.

Fish - Thanks! I WILL take chances

Nick - Pretty good assessment! If I can crack the top 5 I'd be happy.

Good luck. I think you have as good a shot as anyone to win.

Finishing 2nd at HardRock only to Kyle Skaggs means no matter where someone else ranks you at Miwok, you always have a chance.

The field seems stacked, but you have the ability if its your day...

Nick said...

Yeah, tough field. Didn't mean to belittle your chances of a win with my comment. I should probably just keep it zipped. Now go out there and prove me wrong!

Ignore those Naysayers and go show them "Bay Area" folks how it's done up in the hills! :-) Good luck and Have fun.

You da man! Mr. First Class. Go, enjoy it and let's see where those chances take you.
Have fun Fast One!

Go get 'em, SJ!

Remember, since CP is a much rougher course, the times of the two races are similar and smack talking will be based on the finish times and/or overall place this Saturday...

Great work on Miwok! Now on to WS!

Rumor has it SJ finished third...

Gotta be a rumor, the guy ain't that fast!
