Frostbite Force - Du-December Challenge (Page 7)

D001 - 2009-12-05 1:40 PM Dear Team Frostbite Force, As much as I'd enjoy seeing it -- I really recommend that you NOT let TinkerBeth tackle anything involving HTML and tables. The last time she did it, let's just say that only Marmadaddy had the authorization to delete what she'd done. LOL Hm. Maybe we SHOULD let her write the table. I'll bring popcorn and the rest of us can have a party while we watch the fireworks and explosions.

Baowolf - 2009-12-06 7:33 PM Long run day 17 miles in 20-24 F with fluries for the entire run.  I had to actually get out most of my cold weather gear for this one.  Unfortunately my water froze so I didn't get any water for the run 8(.  I will have to be more careful about that in the future.   

I don't think I am quite reaclimated to elevation yet.. that or the run just sucked.  Last 6 miles were slower than the first 11.  In any case miles are miles and that puts me at 43 miles run, 4200 yards swam so far for December.  Tough to gage goals this month with Christmas coming up. 

Hows everyone else doing on goals?

ummm waidaminute - she just insulted me



LOL!

brick94513 - 2009-12-05 5:40 PM Well, race report time.  I got home a little while ago and went straight for the ice bath.  Feel better, but, for some reason, this race really tore me up.  Hamstrings are sore from the descents!  Anyways, here's the splits and results:
PCT Woodside 17k Trail Run

4/125 Overall
2/ ??? Age Group

Ascent = 4,285

Mile 01: 6:27; HR 168; 212ft (467ft)
Mile 02: 7:57; HR 178; 555ft (311ft)
Mile 03: 8:12; HR 177; 497ft (245ft)
Mile 04: 9:24; HR 176; 682ft (308ft)
Mile 05: 9:25; HR 171; 584ft (397ft)
Mile 06: 8:36; HR 170; 963ft (655ft)
Mile 07: 6:51; HR 170; 274ft (437ft)
Mile 08: 6:20; HR 170; 045ft (558ft)
Mile 09: 7:13; HR 162; 089ft (440ft)
Mile 10: 7:48; HR 168; 377ft (465ft)
Mile.22: 0:57; HR 164; 006ft (032ft)

I went out a little fast to beat the congestion at the trailhead despite knowing the pending 5 mile climb was just around the corner.  While I got ahead of the pack and held my position, the negative time splits for the next four miles were the cost of that strategy.  My descending has improved, but still has a lot to be desired.  All in all, a good day without getting lost.

brick94513 - 2009-12-07 9:16 AM Good morning team!  Crazy morning for me.  Set off on my drive to work and it started snowing.  Granted, it was only light flurries and not sticking, but for the SF bay, this is bizarre.  Surprisingly enough, I didn't witness any accidents either.

Now, time to start that second week of training.  Let's let those Vixens have their post padding, while we train!

Baowolf - 2009-12-07 10:45 AMLong runs of 15 to 20 miles were in the 10:41 to 11:18 range in 2008 and in the 8:32 to 9:40 range for 2009 (2nd 20 this weekend).   

Who wants to go archival and dig up some old run times 8) ?

Baowolf - 2009-12-07 10:45 AM Ok I got boored and was looking at last year run times versus this year.  
This year I ran 1186 miles in 33 hours less time than in 2008. 
Long runs of 15 to 20 miles were in the 10:41 to 11:18 range in 2008 and in the 8:32 to 9:40 range for 2009 (2nd 20 this weekend).

the setting is really cool - it's a great park and the registration/finish area is at a pavillion, they have a great big fire place and everyone gathers around and gets ready for the race

oh, btw...it was COLD!  31 degrees  Brrrrr - oh, and it snowed last night - so we had ice and snow to run in

i found 2 women that had just joined as well - one fast and one my speed, both very nice

i ran with one of them (ummmm the one my speed )  we chatted and had a great time

the course was hilly and icey!  it was really dicey in some spots, in fact the gal i was running with slipped and fell and her feet went completely out from under her and she hit her head hard - ouch!!!!

she and i are going to exchange contact information next week, she sounds like someone i can run and bike with

i'm very very pleased with my pace - it was a tough course, and i even ran the first 12 min - and it was uphill!!!

Sorry, Tinky, but, *it PAINS me type this* I have to agree with Deeder on this.  There, Deeder, mark it in the history books.  1TT sided with Deeder, the EEEEE VIL Pink Poodle.

*ducks, runs, and hides*

blujay65 - 2009-12-07 11:21 AM Morning Frosties!

Got in a gym workout this AM. Cold, rainy, gross morning. A bit of stretching, core/strength, and some time on the dreadmill and the indoor track.

Short and sweet.

cthoops - 2009-12-07 7:38 PM O.k.  I finally logged my first core session.  Only 12 or so to go.  Eep!

If you didn't notice the results - we are doing both

Oh, I noticed!  But, we have only just begun... Wait, I'm having flash backs...  Carpenters, right?

For now, my firend, for now.... 

Alright let's show them some frostbite, bring it team!
