Up, down and around Blue Mtn.
First time up was a hike with the hounds who just went nuts. Once we got them back at HQ we did 3 more, running gently in between and trotting down. My leg did OK, hiking up felt good, but it got tight by #4 and I pulled the plug while Bash did a couple more.
Cool blog from 'bent rider Jason Perez. He crushed the 200 mile Central Coast Double Century record so hard that the aid stations and finish line weren't even set up yet. 14,000 feet of climbing too.
I like his description of coming into an aid station racing hard in front, and bewildered volunteers suggest he walk around to the back to find lunch, when all he needs is a very quick water refill.
