The Lava Report

Trained hard efforts with only quality miles this past month . Then tapered and included leg work(massage) Thursday. Virtually no activity yesterday ( except body work on others). Showed up fresh and went hard today. Not much air @ 8700' so that with steep inclines, needed every fast and slow twitch muscle fibers to be firing on all cylinders. Had company on the climb on bike, but was able to pull away on the run to gap 2nd place by three minutes. I have not gone THAT hard(or felt THAT pain) in sometime. Jodi did not know what to expect(but it's labeled HAC, or High Altitude Challenge) so she had some inclination!
My goal was to go 100%, race smart, and hope for no mishaps. That recipe delivered and an overall win was the result. Jodi was the first female to cross the line. Ole and his team, and Corey of Coates Cyclery simply provided an awesome event. For those of you who missed it: You missed it!

Mt. Baldy hurt-fest in two days. Fish taco's, an O'douls and leg work(massage) on the menu tonite. Leg's should be fresh and spunky come Sat. But after the climb on the bike and then run up another 1500' to the 8600' mark, the descent is steep and quad busting. I intend on holding nothing back. I will be damaged after, but then again, that's why we keep a massage table up like a piece of furniture!! Hope to see many there!!!!!

Looking forward to the lung burning climbs of Mt. Baldy this Saturday. Hopefully lot's of you will be attending. It's a challenging and fun event. Come on up and rock and roll!!!!

When we go off road behind our Tiki Villa, we ride, grind, push and carry mtn. bikes over some fun, beautiful, challenging terrain. Then we drop bikes, run and explore. This split in the earth was about a half mile long. Then got too steep and we had to turn back. (that and the bat's flying were a little eerie too :)
