These were all supposed to be done at 5k pace(which I guesstimated to be 6:50 based on my last 5k time).  I felt all over the place while I was doing this but looking at it now I was more consistant than it felt at the time.  Maybe if I would have done the 200's a little slower I wouldn't have puttered out so much in the mile.  I kinda gave up when it came to 1600 time. Something to work on for sure.  I feel like I was in better shape last year at this time.  Still felt good to beat myself up.  It was windy, chilly, and I was feeling wussy, but I forced myself to do this on the track instead of the treadmill.  Glad I did!

Slipped out of work early for an afternoon ride. First ride outside for the year and it was mighty fine minus the frozen toes. I'll take it though! And remeber the booties next time. 

Home to emi and back. 

Hill day. To and from SHP with a couple laps. That counts as hills, right?

Easy miles. 1.5, hiit arms, 1.5

AP 7:13

First time doing this race and I wasn't expecting or prepared for all the uphill! It was fun though. Gorgeous course, starting up Snow Canyon and finishing in Ivins. The first mile was some kind of crazy downhill, then mile 2 and 3 was down with a few steep, short rollers mixed in. Mile 3 on was pretty much up and more up until the very end with a short downhill then flat. It was tough to push through this not nowing about all the ups but I made it and feel good about the effort.

Splits: 6:27, 7:07, 7:01, 7:26, 7:47, 7:54, 1:02
