Salida

Busy week.

Salida went alright.  I was in a good spot at the halfway point for a sub five, but I just couldn't get rolling on the downhill second half.  Felt like a damn newborn child trying to walk, could tell I haven't been running downhills much.  Crossed the line in 5:13.  Rest of the weekend was spent doing Salida things.



A while ago I read this article from Semi-Rad and it stuck in my brain.  I went and had a test, and my calcium score was zero!  No widowmaker heart attack for this guy!

On Wednesday I took part in a special Olympics fundraiser.  Local hoops team vs a SAR squad.  It did not go well for us.

On Thursday the SAR pager started chirping, and at 4pm the call went out.  Two stranded hikers up high on Pikes Peak.  I had to run home from work, grab my shit, and respond.  I got home at 5am.  Oof.  Did not get a lot done at work on Friday.

For the week:

run - 51 miles, 9.5 hours

ride - 40 miles, four hours

hike - 28 miles, 15.5 hours
