Monday - was going to take a rest day as I'm still pretty banged up from the GJOR, but the weather was too nice. Due to laziness and the shitty weather, I had only done ten Inclines on the year. Monday was number eleven.
Tues AM - 4 x 800m on the track. Been wanting to get to the track for a while, but again the recent rains had the cinder track all jacked up. 1.5 mile warm up, then 3:03, 3:01, 2:59, and 2:54 with a quarter mile in between each one. 1.5 mile cool down. Six miles on the workout. Love this time of year, as it was warm and sunny at 5:15AM when I started.
If you're in for the Leadville Marathon, get ready to run a different course. No way they're getting up to Mosquito Pass anytime soon, there's still a ton of snow on the mountains surrounding Pb. I have already informed Shad and JP that they're not "real" Leadmen if they don't get up to Mosquito Pass during the series.
Big month ahead for me. Hoping to get 100+ miles on the bike this weekend at ERock Sunrise to Sunset. Then the Bailey Hundo two weeks later. And San Juan Solstice looming at the end of June.

Leadman smack talk? So who is your favorite in those two and by how much total time?
I think JP is definitely the favorite, maybe by five hours or so. But he's also much more likely to end his quest from a bike crash.
I'd feel better about JP if I knew his training was more than hanging out with Timko at breweries and distilleries.
Brewery training has been successful in the past with some Leadman guys. And there might be a brewery in Leadville by mid-August, that should provide some motivation.
