A Go At It
This morning at 5:15 AM Grody and I arrived at a forest service road that we planned to have a little time trial or our East Meets West race distance on. We canicrossed out 2 miles as a warm-up, rested about 3 minutes, did a little lollipop loop so we were pointed towards the car, and let er have it. The road was wash-boardy and pot-holy and this close to our race I was not wanting to spraining an ankle or bust myself up anymore than I already am. Also there were some pretty gnarly downhills I had put the brakes on for as it doesn’t take much to bite the dust canicrossing on a down-hill. So I actually wasn’t able to open up like I wished I could have but all-in-all, I felt pretty good about the run. Our returning 1.7 mile uptempo was run in 7:55, so an average of 4:40 miles. I plan on giving him a couple easy days of free running before we hit it again as he has had 3 tough workouts in a row now.
