10 mile run up over the hill and down into GS then around Middleton a few times to make it an even 10. I went to April yesterday and she really worked my legs over. They didn't really bother me too much last night on the club run but this morning they were like rail road ties, the kind that have been ran over by the train already. Anyways I'm going to start my taper now and maybe take the rest of the week very easy to see if I can even race. About half way through my visit to April last night she said "So you've got a race next weekend"? and I was like "no this weekend". The she was like "oh". So hopefully things will come together.

5.6 miles of bike = 1.4 easy mils of running

Peer Pressure is a unique thing. I went to this race tonight to just go support the event and se some friends. When I walk up to the event however I see Logan with a glow stick around his head and he say's "they are giving out some cool stuff for the top 3, "eye on the prize". So my plans change from wanting to run an easy jog with my wife to now trying to warm-up with Logan and wishing that I hadn't eaten this massive PB and honey sandwich within the hour of coming. We ran the course for a warm-up and it was a 1.53 mile loop around St. James place.

1. 4:55- No this wasn't one of those cool downhill miles. The course is an oval that sits on a gradual side hill so every step you take down- you also climb back up. I'd say this mile was about half and half. We went out fast with all the high school kids.

2. 5:19- Now Hayden, Logan, and myself have dropped everyone and we just settle into the tempo run.

3. 5:45- At the start of this mile I realize no one was going to catch us and when Logan says how are you doing I say I'm going to back off because there was no need to hammer it. So he and Hyaden kind of gap me a little for a while and then were nice enough to slow down on the last 400m and we all ran in together. I had the course at 3.05. Pretty close for not being certified. Steve O had it at 3.07 so right there depending on the tangents.

1 mile cool down.

This was a great race. A really great turn out and very fun to see so many old friends from around town. I think there were around 600 people there and all the proceeds go to track scholarships for local high school students. Really cool.

I knew Chelsi from her days as a cheerleader when I coached at Dixie high. She was always so positive and made sure to support everyone on our team not just the studs. Hopefully this will be something that continues to happen every year and that it will only get bigger. I'm really glad my wife and I went.

Somehow I think it will all come together and you'll be able to do race!

I guess we are going to pull up James' camper; he is checking if there is a KOA spot so we can take a dip in the pool after and shower.

Dave- sounds good. I'll plan on it with you guys. The shower will feel good too.

So was there some good prizes?

I just couldn't stay up that late (I know... how old am I?) I was in be by 9:00.

From Superfly on Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 11:35:52

They gave out some good prizes in a raffle. But there was nothing for the winners... Logan and his false information.

From Logan on Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 13:13:24

Clyde,

I was misinformed. I apologize. You will be fine and recover by Saturday. You are ready to roll.

From Superfly on Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 13:26:58

Logan, it wasn't a bid deal. Actually it was kind of fun doing it as a race so I'm glad you talked me into it. As far as being ready for Saturday... I'll only know when I'm there what it will feel like. Should be ok though.
