Classic 10k

Thurs - bike commute 52.  10.9 miles there, 14.6 back home.  CityRock 36 at lunch.

Fri - rest day.  Nice 5k Garden hike with the pup in the early AM.

Sat - CMC anchors class up at Cottonwood Canyon state park.  Learnin' shit.  Hit 105W Brewing on the way home.

For the week:

run -22 miles, 3.5 hours
ride - 56 miles, five hours
hike - 23 miles, nine hours

Sun - hey, I ran a race!  The Classic 10K.  It is usually a fast course and my original goal was sub 40.  They changed the course due to COVID, it was not a much slower out and back.  Changed my goal to 42 due to the harder course.  But it didn't matter, I still sucked.  45:31.  Went out a touch too fast and was just done by the turn around.  I was actually slower coming back, which was downhill.  The race was waves of five runners every 30 seconds.

After the race a bunch of friends and I rode up to Pikes Peak Brewing.  49 miles total, it finished up my virtual Colorado Trail bike ride.

Dinner on Sunday at Colorado Mountain Brewery with the cadet, her boyfriend, and her parents.


Big topic of discussion was the starting QB currently listed as "no longer a cadet in good standing."  Not sure what he did, but apparently there has been quite a bit of cheating as everything has switched to online classes.  No idea if that's what happened.  It would really suck to get booted from the Academy your senior year.  No college degree and you owe the gov't a cool quarter million.
