the week

Big week on the SAR front.  On Thursday we headed down south to help the sheriff look for a missing 80 year old dementia patient.  Got to do some work with the dogs for a few hours and then helped out with a drone search.  The woman remains missing.



A bit lighter hearted on Saturday as I got to push a SAR coffin at the annual Manitou Coffin Races.  Probably had 20,000 people over in Manitou watching.  Good times.


Not much on the workout front this week.  Was pretty sore from the road 'thon through Wednesday and started back slowly after that.

halfway to 50

Had a blast on the Detroit trip.  Heard nothing but bad things about the town but I thought the places we visited were awesome and the people were a blast.  Not to mention a ton of solid Michigan IPAs.  

The race went much better than expected considering a brewery crawl and beer festival the day before.  Thought I was in 3:45 shape if everything went perfect.  Was on 3:40 pace through mile 21ish, then things went to shit.  Somehow managed to rally back around mile 24 with the increasing crowds cheering me on and the hash beer check, ended up finishing in 3:43:39.  Highly recommend this race.

Detroit

Excited for the Detroit trip.  Especially because we get to go to the Detroit Fall Beer Festival.

Probably won't help my marathon time on Sunday but whatever.  State number 26 coming up!

trudging along

Not a whole lot going on since Pikes.  Some of that was SAR, some of that was me being lazy.  Detroit is going to be a slog just to grab another state.  

For the week:

run - 24 miles, 4.5 hours

ride - 54 miles, five hours

hike - 23 miles, 9.5 hours

My beloved Pitt Panthers are 5-0 and are now ranked in the top 25!  Ahead of Michigan, FYI.
