Back from Denver

I had a great 5 days in Denver and Boulder. What a beautiful part of the country. Not as much training as I hoped to get in while I was there, but plenty of good times with close friends. Thursday we went to a Forrest Yoga class taught by one of our friends. Because it was one of the first classes at a new studio we were the only ones there. That meant we had almost 2 hours of private yoga with one of the best instructors in Denver. Sweet! Friday and Saturday were the UPA College National Championships where I was able to support the CUT boys in their run to the semi’s (farthest they’ve been since my senior year in ’03). I never managed to get away from the fields and up in the mountains, but I was content to support the team with the mountains as a backdrop. Despite getting back late Sunday night I was back at it on Monday with a good swim workout and run on Tuesday. Stay tuned for new changes to my racing schedule….

Training Update:
Monday: Swim 2000m, heavy on pull sets / resistance training and abs
Tuesday: Run 3 miles, close to race pace with hills / resistance training

Training at Altitude

Out here in Denver, CO to visit friends and watch the UPA College National Championships.  I'm hoping to see CUT win another national title.  Today is an easy day with some Hot Yoga at a studio where one of our friend's sisters teaches.  Should be a solid weekend hanging out and training at altitude.

Training update:

Tuesday - 50 minutes on the MTB

Wednesday - 2,000m with 400m builds (swim), resistance training during lunch
