I did the run with the third grade, then talked to the fourth grade class with Ryan Van Duzer - the biggest/most awesome Boulder celebrity. It was a real honor.
My sister and her family came into town on Friday evening and we had a great dinner up at Gold Hill Inn (up in mountains above Boulder) on Saturday night.
The weekend of the Bolder Boulder (Memorial day weekend) is my favorite of the year. Growing up in this town, the weekend was always a huge deal, and has only gained more importance as the years have passed. This weekend is my Christmas, and the Bolder Boulder is why I am an endurance athlete.
In Training: This past week was my largest week of bike training so far this year. Power seems to be climbing, and I am able to throw in more threshold and intensity. I thought that I had hit a wall, but I am pretty certain that I can still make some gains before lots of racing starts.
I kept my run volume lower than usual to make up for getting in the time on the bike. I also wanted to keep my run semi "fresh" for that race on memorial day.
Weekly Totals:
Swim: 7,100 yds
Bike: 731 TSS - All on trainer
Run: 26.1 miles
