Race, Race, Ride

Friday
90 min bike ride - Done
5K RMRR Trophy Series Race/BBQ - 19:46
Goal - 18:39 (2007 time was 18:46)
I didn't quite reach my goal. It was at least 95+ degrees outside and I couldn't run any faster. There was one aid station at mile 1.5. At miles 2 and 3 I was very thirsty and my mouth was so dry. My overall pace was 6:22/mile.

My split mile times looked pretty good, but 6:00 min miles are hard. I need more speed workouts.

Saturday
5 1/2K Summer Splash Race (Open to all city of Aurora employees)
Goal - To Win!!! - 22:45 and I won!
Open water swimming
Goal - 30 min


My pace today was just a little slower than yesterday. I was happy with my performance. I wanted to push it hard, but with control. My wife, Nicole and Pazu (dog), both did the 5 1/2K. I am so proud of them!! Go Nicole and Team All Stars!

Sunday
Climb Mt. Evans (On my bike) - 28 miles all uphill (averaged 8.8mph), 28 miles all downhill (averaged 28mph)
Goal - not to trash my legs - My legs felt great. I didn't have any issues. The day after was good too.
- no crashing!!!! That means slow? No extreme sharp turns, be smart...etc.

Well...I almost crashed. HEHEHE. I was almost at a complete standstill and I was trying to lock in my shoes going uphill. I caught myself, but I almost fell. I took some of the turns pretty slow. I was be conservative. I went with my cousin's boyfriend, Shane. He was awesome!!! He took some of those turns so well he was gone in an instant.

Pictures are coming soon!!
