Evening Gravel Ride

Fourmile-LickHand-Ward-Rowena

Great run, yesterday’s mellowness paid off. Kinda felt like I shoulda been skiing today but this might’ve been the best run I’ve had so far this year so no regrets.

PR on the Sunshine to GH climb by like 3min but still 35sec behind Kyle. Damn you, KPR! I’ll blame the slick, sloppy footing after the pavement ended 😏. So psyched that I was able to push a bit on the uphill and not have my Achilles blow up (just yesterday it was feeling slightly burny jogging up Chapman).

Cruised the Fourmile descent feeling great so decided to head up Chappy; it was buried in 4” or so of snow so was definitely just a jog (especially given my roadie tread), but then enjoyed some quad abuse going down Flag. Coulda used a gel at that point, but, alas, I had not brought any. Expected to get both some water and some barefootin’ at Kitt Field then, but neither were available so I just jogged home, picking up some recovery snacks at Alfalfa’s along the way. GD kinda feeling like a runner again.

Splits from my doorstep:

Centennial TH - 8:40
Upper Swoop TH - 21:30
Poorman - 28:15
Bald Mt - 41:50
Sunshine - 52:40
Guardrail after switchbacks/2mi to-go - 1:09
9mi sign - 1:20:45
GH - 1:23:35
Junction - 1:49:45
Logan Mill - 1:56:40
Betasso - 2:04
Canyon - 2:22ish
Chapman parking - 2:27ish
Top Chapman - 2:54:20 (pretty meaningless cuz the snow)

Notable audio entertainment: Run Out podcast about Nanga Parbat rescue was meh, neither Kalous nor Bisharat had much anything interesting to say. This American Life Rom-Com episode final act was 😳😳🤯🤯. Actually completely 🍌🍌. Buttigieg Pod Save America was 👌🏽. PSA is otherwise shit but Butti and Andrew Yang are my early faves in this election season.

The release of Ty’s latest live album had me relistening to the classics—Melted, Lemons, Slaughterhouse, etc—what a GD demented genius he is on those albums.
