EIGHT 6 - 12 (80.4) Haw Ridge

Monday 6

No housekeeping this morning. I didn't get enough sleep, probably 6 hours.

Haw Ridge KTC Course Preview

Another sweatfest, 86 degrees with a feels like temp of 93. Elevation gain was 863 feet. We did some power hiking but it's all good. Just what I needed. 

Post-run: Myofascial release and stretching

Housekeeping: Myofascial release calves and hamstrings. Ankle eversion, bridge, clams, and push ups

Wednesday 8

No housekeeping and not very good sleep. Pretty tired most of the day.

4 easy miles

Post-run: Myofascial release for calves, hamstrings, and quads. Calf stretching.
Off to bed early.

Thursday 9

I was stiff and had a sore back this morning. Our attempt for riding after work was stormed out. ISSUES!

Friday 10

Yesterday turned into a recovery day. So, today turned into a road/trail double.

Cherokee

I only had an hour, so I did the best I could. 15.7 mph with 676 feet of gain. 

Gravel and Single Track

I did my second ride on the Stache with Justin. 1107 feet of gain. I'm going to feel this one. 

Saturday 11

It felt weird and awesome not to get up early for a run. 

Haw Ridge Trail Race

I didn't have the legs for a great effort, but I wasn't too disappointed. Started slow and picked off several runners. I would say I lost 2-3 minutes early on due to single file racing.

Sunday 12

My legs are trashed

Recovery Ride

Push up, abs, and mobility circuit x 3
