4 hard days

Got my 40+ miles in since Thursday. The highlights of the four days were Saturdays double of the 5.8 loop and today's trail run with Jamie. But first if you read this blog, I made predictions for those I knew who were racing this weekend. So, Jeff Edmonds I predicted would finish top 3 got 5th. Emily Ryan I predicted would finish top 3 got 8th. Linda I predicted would win her age group, she did!! Wendy Parker-Dial I predicted would win came in 2nd. Not bad!!
After my run on Saturday, I got a call from my friend Daniel. He's a Pro Mountain biker living in Colorado. The news was he broke his leg! in two places and is now in rehab mode. A little bummed too since this is race season. He should be back in action 6-8 weeks I hope.

So I thought I'd be totally wiped out after this past 4 days but feel really well recovered. I did all the right things as in recovery fluids within 30 min. after each training session. Stretching and using the roller on my quads. Little things like that can go a long way in helping recovery. Although Jamie and I did wish we had a nice cold mountain stream to ice soak our legs in after our run today.
