CIM Week Two–more relay please

I let myself have today as a post-HTC pity party hangover day – tomorrow I swear I’ll return to life as a normal human.  With real thoughts, food, and proper hygiene.

And maybe I’ll unpack.

Browsing photo albums, re-reading timelines, and stalking garmin data have done nothing but enable the post-partum feelings.  Such an incredible weekend, from the first minute on Seattle turf to the final (airport-sprinting) second.  Nuun played perfect host and exceeded all expectations by like a 400%.

(Currently re-packing all belongings and (uninivitedly) relocating to HQ.)

All I know is I’m glad my iPhone spent as much time in camera mode as it did.  Many memories to cry over next time I’m feeling sad with non-relay, non-PNW, non-awesome-new-friends boring ol’ regular running.

So, pretty much every minute of every day.

Until the recaps are ready, or rather I come out of denial that HTC weekend is actually over, let’s talk quickly about last week’s training…

CIM Training – Week #2

Su – 30 min bike, abs – lovely SoCal recovery day

M – 4 mi easy

Tu – 4×1600 @ track – Mile repeats make me want to barf. 6:54, 6:47, 6:44, 6:37

W – off – busy flying to Seattle and kicking off NuunHTC

Th – 5 mi at Green Lake with Nuun crew and the Oiselles – progression/almost tempo/faster than easy pace

F – HTC leg #5 – 6.11 mi, second half steady climb (430’ gain)

Sa – HTC leg #17 – 8.75 mi, fast with surprise climb (200’) at end, 3am (course was detoured last minute)

          HTC leg #29 – 6.12 mi, first half climbing (588’) and a fun fast finish down

= 36 miles – all pretty #runlove’y

 

Back to normal business.
