Weekend started off in Flagstaff with a 5K "Run for the Mountain" event. Finished in 32 min which isn't bad considering I'm not used to running in such cold weather, elevation, and hills...oh...and running isn't my sport haha.
After the 5K some teammates and a few others rode Snowbowl- I didn't ride to the top because I had to get back to Phx AND I had to save some energy for racing Sunday. Snowbowl is relentlessly brutal...but beautiful and a great workout! The day started at 40 degrees and warmed up into the 60's.
Calories burned for the day- approx 2000
Today I raced in a Time Trial- Cotton Classic
My second TT...First TT was straight up South Mountain (totally different course)
This course was flat which provided me with a baseline
20K- 37 min, burned 800 calories, average bike cadence 98
I continue to get racing tips from teammates and racing friends...Special thanks to Andy, Louisa, and Edwin!
An interesting tidbit...The TT was male dominated today- as I was waiting in line for my start time I was in a line of all guys. They proceeded to tease me the entire time I was in line. I was annoyed but played along...couldn't let 'em see they were bugging me.
