Thruston's Memorial Day 20K Level 3-4 knee pain from mile 2 - 5. This was the first time to have ITB pain in while. It bumped up to level 5-6 for a few seconds around mile 5 and I started to wonder if I'd be able to finish Thankfully, the pain somehow subsided and I was still able to run a decent race. I negative split pretty nicely and even got 5th place HARDWARE! I ate a big recovery breakfast at IHOP and did some really good stretching, ice/heat contrast, foam rolling and stick massage. Hopefully, the knee pain won't continue. Run: 1h 39m 43s 12.52 miles 7.96 miles/hrMin HR: 103 Avg HR: 165 Max HR: 189

I flipped my stem yesterday so this was the first ride in slightly more aero position. I couldn't really tell much of a difference though. One difference I did notice however was how SMALL and SHORT my normal hills seem now! Very good brick run. Very humid though and I'm definitely not acclimatized yet Bike: 1h 24m 39s 27.67 miles 19.61 miles/hrMin HR: 109 Avg HR: 146 Max HR: 178 Run: 30m 3.74 miles 8.02 miles/hrMin HR: 117 Avg HR: 159 Max HR: 178

1st run in a week. Ouch. That's what I get for riding so much. Oh well... I really wanted to take advantage of the mountains in NC. Boy did I! First 3 miles were with Sarah and that's always fun! Run: 48m 20s 5.57 miles 8.68 miles/hrMin HR: 98 Avg HR: 157 Max HR: 180

After 17+ hrs and 260+ miles in the past 3 days, I think I'll take a rest day. Lots of pictures from our trip can be found here.  
GillEN-ERGY - 5/20/2009
This was my longest ride ever by TIME and DISTANCE Was supposed to only do about 103 or so, but at mile 90'ish I took a wrong turn and somehow, don't ask me how!, I got off my route by about 8.5 miles.  IOW, it took my 17 miles to get back on course. No time for a full report b/c I have to box up my bike, but let's just say this was EPIC. 4.5 miles off-road all uphill First time I've ever had to walk up a hill (not on the off-road part, btw) Forearms were severely sore and tight on some of the downhills from tapping the brakes so hard. First time to get so far off-course First time to come close to calling Sarah for a SAG. Got jittery b/c I didn't take in enough calories toward the end Good points: Absolute stunning scenery...will upload pix soon. Very emotional day.  Lots of highs and lows Learned a lot about myself Learned I need to take in more calories and re-think my whole nutrition plan Profile from today...The 4.5 off-road miles were from about 35-40!  Some parts were pretty hard-packed surfaces, but some of it was pretty loose so that my back tire would slip if I unweighted it by standing!   All of it,however, was uphill!  This stretch was absolutely killer: 8.3 mph for 30 mins at a HR of 173 and just completely mentally draining due the fact that I was off-roading on my TRI-BIKE! At about mile 95... From AshevilleTrip At the famous Biltmore Estate...Proof that I did more than just ride the last 3 days! From AshevilleTrip Bike: 7h 34m 14s 120.04 miles 15.86 miles/hrMin HR: 93 Avg HR: 146 Max HR: 183

Based on the profile that I posted yesterday, the 75 mile approach/warmup to Mitchell looked fairly flat.  But take a look at this profile of that 1st 75 miles.  This route would probably be considered one of the toughest/hilliest in N. TX. Picture from yesterday's summit: From AshevilleTrip Random rider near the summit of Mt Mitchell. Absolutely stunning views that I was able to fully enjoyed AFTER finishing! From AshevilleTrip Shorter "recovery" ride while Sarah was getting a massage and a facial at a spa! Much flatter than yesterday, but still quite hilly compared to N. TX. I'm beginning to realize just how flat N. TX compared to mountain towns like Asheville. Hoping to ride long again tomorrow before boxing up the bike! Bike: 2h 27m 39s 39.69 miles 16.13 miles/hrMin HR: 96 Avg HR: 133 Max HR: 171
GillEN-ERGY - 5/18/2009
The Assault on Mt Mitchell Rally from Spartanburg, SC to the summit of the highest mountain east of Mississippi, Mt Mitchell in NC.  I averaged 9.5 mph with a HR of 160 (solid Z3 for me) for the last 2 hrs and 40 mins of this ride.  It was 25 miles pretty much straight up.  Be sure to see the elevation scale on the profile below. This was the hardest and longest (time-wise) ride I've ever done in my life.   Bike: 7h 05m 33s 100.80 miles 14.21 miles/hrMin HR: 102 Avg HR: 151 Max HR: 181
GillEN-ERGY - 5/16/2009
First Road Race in 15 MONTHS!  I signed up for the West Fork 10K in Ft. Worth, but it got cancelled b/c the trinity river was flowing over the cross-way, so I ran the 5K they had. 1st mile: 6:29 183 2nd mile: 6:59 188 3rd mile: 7:21 189 IOW, this is how not to run a 5K.  Massive positive splits!  I'm disappointed I didn't do a better job of pacing and that I didnt' run faster overall.  I would have loved to averaged 6:50 or even 6:40 pace, but I guess I'm just not there yet.  Not to make excuses, but it was raining and about 1 mile of the course was on a sloppy hike/bike trail. HOWEVER, overall, I'm quite happy just to have raced again.  No knee pain is the most important thing.  I haven't run this hard for 3 miles in a long time and I'm happy my knee held up. I remember thinking about 2 miles into the race that it was so nice to be out there racing (even though it was raining) and not back at the start/finish area waiting and watching everyone else like I've done for the past 15 months! I think I was fifth overall out of my estimate of about 40-50.  First place was a little over 20:00 I think.   Run: 21m 28s 3.09 miles 6.95 miles/hrMin HR: 137 Avg HR: 187 Max HR: 195
