It is Sunday night and I am very sleep deprived. This isn't going to be super long. The Rut and the Bobcat stuff I wrote earlier.
Good week. Felt nice and strong all week. Wednesday ride and post ride run were solid, but failed on the mission. I think I bonked a little during the run. Had a very good couple of swims with Masters, workouts on the 3500 range. Took the win at Rapelje. More posted below.
I would like some advice on racing/running next weekend. Start out easy, walk parts of the beginning to keep it easy, if I have the energy try and push the last 1/4 or so? I think I will bring a pro bar and I have a bottle I run with. Think it should be enough(as far as water). I will bring gels and/or chews too.
The Rut- Couple of days post IM Wisconsin return. Will I be able to hobble 7 miles. What is it about you Missoula folk. Even John and Lisa are talking about it.
Been thinking a lot about The Bobcat. Have a bunch of ideas. Apparently this year at MSU is the "year of engagement" Right now my plan is to write up a proposal and send it out to various offices and departments that look like they have potential to provide support in students, money, and power to help us get the facilities, etc.
Rapelje- took home the big W for the women's solo category. Had some competition too. Ingrid made me work for it. Rode from 11am on Saturday until about 7, when a big storm came in. Rallied for a final lap before the storm. Then tried to sleep, waiting out the course closure, muddy laps and just plain getting sleep. Got up at 4am and did a sunrise loop. Kept riding until 11am. Got in 11 laps in an 11. 6 or so mile course. Felt good, did a good job of pacing myself, did a good job of eating and drinking. Just a plain overall very good experience. Ironman training sure pays off. Beat up though. Back, forearms, and ass hurt. I was really wanting a full suspension on lap 11. Lots of up and down.
