Cycling 27:59 [1] 7.48 mi (3:44 / mi) +73m 3:38 / mi
Sunday morning duathlon over distance!
7.5 mile bike - 10 mile trail run @ Powell's Butte - 7.5 mile bike
Fun times. Great weather, not yet too hot. Did most of the trails on the butte. Much more crowded than middle-of-winter. Dog walkers, mountain bikers, hikers, a few other runners.
Bike became aid station for the run, stopped back once and had water and bites of Clif Bar. And then really nice to have more water at the end of the run.

Warming up *not* in the park so as to not learn it at all before orienteering.

Doggone Training @ Memorial Park, Wilsonville
Neat exercise by Mike, a choose-your-own adventure for 10 pairs of controls throughout the course. So, you had to go to each of the #1s first, then each of the #2s and so on. Forced you to keep thinking ahead and about route choice.
Tried hard to keep the pace up and to keep it be sprint-like training even by myself. I went too far to my first #1 (looking in trees mapped as white, not a single tree), my second #5 (didn't deflect from fence early enough) and my second #9 (went up the more substantial path, but thought I was on the tiny one.)
Route choice wise, I think given the order I took the 9s in, I should have reversed how I took the 10s. Because the white hillside was totally runnable, but still slower than the road.

And round 2, because have to get the training in!
Took the complement order to my first go. Only occasionally (2s, 7s, 10s) definitely the wrong order.

Yay lunchrun! With Todd and Ueli. Mostly chatting with Ueli, Todd was having a tougher first run in the somewhat-heat.

Cycling 2:20:07 27.88 mi (5:02 / mi) +887m 4:34 / mi
And then an epic Thursday eve ride! Mission: deliver Suzy's DNA samples to be run at OHSU. But we wanted to go up Council Crest, after dropping the boys (Derek, Douglas) off to do the shortest option. And then we didn't find the fastest way down. And then we were on the other side of a ravine from the hospital. So lots of hills...

Copied Tom's Flagstaff workout for some speed!
5 x 30s on 1 min off

Gotta high-five from one of the very recent physics alums who was playing pickup soccer on the field the track was around. =)
Legs perhaps not 100%, but has to be good to get some more speed in!

Morning run with Kyle. He's speedy and somehow we did this even faster than his intended 7:30 pace, whoops. We'll have to be more diligent minding pace in the future!
Nice to have a running buddy and as I've been named to a search committee for next year, got to pick his brain about how that all works since he was on one this year.
Also cool to run along the beach in Sellwood- never done that before!

Cycling downtown and back for Willamette Week's Mt. Hood editions opening party. Trying to actually *live* in this city called Portland...
