Creepy Crawl 5k on Saturday. Was hoping for a sub 20 but winter had other plans. We were hit by our first real cold front and when I got to Palmer Lake it was 23F and windy AF. No thanks. Had a decent first mile at 6:09, but that was with the wind at my back. The next two miles were right into the wind (the course is a combo out and back with a loop around the "lake," giving you the fantastic opportunity for two miles of headwind) and I cratered, running 6:44 and 7:11. Oof. But I suffered the entire time, so it's good to get that kind of effort in as I head into some lesser distance races.
Got a good five inches of snow at the house Saturday night. Cold all day but I got in a nine miler on the Garden roads in the afternoon. Supposed to warm up on Wednesday.
run - 51 miles, nine houes
ride - 26 miles, 2.5 hours
hike - 25 miles, eleven hours
Not a good weekend for Pittsburgh football fans. Pitt was drubbed by Notre Dame with lots of ongoing drama afterwards. And Kenny Pickett was injured in a Steelers loss. Thankfully college hoops starts soon.
