Good weekend

This will be brief, but better then nothing.

We had a great weekend of training.

Saturday was a mellow swim, followed by a 4 hour ride with a 20 min run off the bike. For the ride we headed up St. Vrain canyon to Raymond. It was all pretty mellow except a brief tempo up the canyon. I had not been up there for a while. I remember doing this same ride about 2 years ago with Lessing and that hammer each other crew. I was happy to notice that I held a good 50 watts higher on Saturday and I wasn't totally nailing it, just steady tempo. Cam looked good though. He got away from me a bit in the beginning and it took a while to bring him back.

All in all a good ride.

Sunday was a 1:45 long run out at Dowdy Draw etc. I felt good over all. I like running those trails out there, but the knees were a bit sore from running too much in broken down racing flats over the past few weeks. I've trashed those and will need to look into finding a new pair. Damn shame we can't seem to find a running shoe company to sponsor the team ;)

More to come...
