I hope you guys never encounter a pack of blue jays. They are vicious creatures.
First unintentional DNF yesterday.
Completed the distance but missed cutoff.
What an insane race with that much vertical. I don’t know how you ultra guys do 50 miles and beyond. So impressive, missed cutoffs or not.First unintentional DNF yesterday.

3. With crazy amounts of elevation.Well, there are two ways to look at this @Zasada .
1. You missed the cutoff.
2. You ran 75 ****ing miles!!!
I shall take #2. Awesome job, man.
It's of course amazingly impressive, but the one thing that struck me as strange is the race crowning the female winner based on chip time rather than gun time. It's odd when you can't know who won when they actually cross the finish line.Here's a new one for you slackers
Dealing with some knee soreness, I don’t think it is anything significant but annoying nevertheless. I am trying to be cautious with it, but getting frustrated with the minor injuries that seem to being occurring now more than ever. Thanks for asking and hope that your body allows you to train as much as you’d like.@pbm107 everything okay? Noticed you hadn't logged much lately and unlike me, that's not normal for you.
My body's not allowing me to do what I want, but I've found a routine that's...good enough. While I've gained way too much weight, a lot of it is good weight. Pre-vacation I had a 6 week stretch in which I got at least 4 strength training sessions in each week. Squat isn't up to what I want it to be, but I think I departed for the beach ready to take a leap once on the other side (starting in about 2 hours). Upper body strength is as strong as it's been since my personal training days and that will only grow as I level up leg strength. And most importantly, I'm able to do most other activities I want to do, and do them well - golf, basketball, whiffleball, backyard QB'ing. That said, my balance is a mess (limited water activities) and nagging aches (feet, calves, hip, back) still surface when I spend too much time on my feet. I've decided to shift my focus towards that when the weather turns late calendar year. In the meantime, hoping to at least net 15-20 mpw around everything else I'm doing, but it'll be mostly of the recreational jogger miles.

That 167 suck was just lovelyHey guys. It's hot as f#$@ out there.
I wouldn't call it bragging rights as much as me continuing to not learn my lesson about setting an alarm in the morning.I had 85/76 this morning for a 161 SI, but I see that’s not even good enough for bragging rights around here![]()
Unfortunately the group I’m mentoring meets on Monday evening. I figured I’d be ok to run 4 before we met to run 6. 93° with a dew point on the 70s sucked. It got better when the rest of the team showed up and we ran at 6 - it dropped to 88°I wouldn't call it bragging rights as much as me continuing to not learn my lesson about setting an alarm in the morning.I had 85/76 this morning for a 161 SI, but I see that’s not even good enough for bragging rights around here![]()
