Getting to the Start Line - Team Klopeda: Rest, relax, mend, repeat.

http://teamklopedatraining.blogspot.com/2013/12/rest-relax-mend-repeat.html

Monday, December 9, 2013. Rest, relax, mend, repeat. I wrote this 4 weeks ago and forgot to post. Oops. It’s looking like this years trail season has come to an abrupt end. Nothing broken or twisted just the rise of a few tell tell feelings that I hope to head off before they turn into something I can’t walk or run away from. Inner thigh – hip. Recapping this last year. Looking back on the races this year…. 800 ft mile climb. And the 1. I learned never shelf what you think you can do. Hips tightened ...

Monday, December 29, 2014. 2014: Rest, recover, recharge. Thinking of the highlights and memory flashes from this past year a few that jump out. Rolling through the downhill at Orcas Island 25K: "Holy Sh*t this is amazing, this is amazing. So lucky, so lucky"on repeat through my mind. Flying down from Fragrance Lake through the switchbacks. Falling then catching the 3 people that went by. SO. MUCH. FUN. I was out of my mind on the bike in the heat. Good times, good times. This year ended with an unexpect...

Getting to the Start Line - Team Klopeda: July 2012

http://teamklopedatraining.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 16, 2012. Right sleeve OVER Garmin. Left hand grabs goggles and cap. Pull arms out of wetsuit leaving goggles/cap in arm sleeve. Hit shore and all went to plan. Looked at my watch and seen 35 minutes - Crazy! I felt like little or no real work had been done. T1: I was held up by rethinking arm warmers at the last second and having to go back 3-4ft to grab and slip on before heading out. Crappy climb at about mile 3. Take it EASY on the climbs! T2: Uneventful = Sweet. I wanted to run to feel ...

Getting to the Start Line - Team Klopeda: Dodged a hot mess of a day

http://teamklopedatraining.blogspot.com/2015/05/dodged-hot-mess-of-day.html

Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Dodged a hot mess of a day. Sun Mountain 25K –. Hell of a weekend. Man was that some fun! If you ever want to humble yourself, in two ways, go plant yourself on course surrounded by sweeping vistas of mountains and valleys. I think too many people forget how small they are in the scheme of things. Next sit there in the shade as 100’s of people pass by in 80 degree weather running in the direct sun. Nothing but deep respect for those racing the 50M/50K on Saturday. Watch me go;.

Getting to the Start Line - Team Klopeda: April 2013

http://teamklopedatraining.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Friday, April 12, 2013. Holding on to the tail of a bull. 8220;Steady. Easy. Pace. Breathe.” * *Garmin reads – 10:20 minute miles. In the back of my mind past my mantra I keep saying over and over, don’t blow up, find the easiest route, this will only last a few more minutes. Listen to how quite it is, DON”T RUN UP THIS! This is the new plan for the up hills. On Christmas morning. It’s a freaking blast! Guessing just stick with the 1. A bit washed out? I’ve had a few great runs over at St. Eds ...Seattle...

snowygrl: Cougar Mountain TT 2010

http://snowygrl.blogspot.com/2010/08/cougar-mountain-tt-2010.html

Aug 8, 2010. Cougar Mountain TT 2010. I am not totally sure how or why I agreed to do the cougar mountain time trial. It is about a 2 mile hill climb time trial with an average gradient of 7.2% (L’Alpe D’Huez is 7.9%) ans about 1,200 feet of climbing. This chart says it all. Nice race, your are doing really good.

Getting to the Start Line - Team Klopeda: August 2012

http://teamklopedatraining.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Friday, August 31, 2012. IMC 2012 What the hell. 8220;What in the hell am I doing here? 8221; I said that once at mile 20 on the run…. The day sets up as one long ass training day in my mind. The whole thing is just too much to swallow beforehand as a race. I keep referring to “as before” and this was nothing like 2010. Goal Swim Time: 1:15. Swim Time: 1:16 – Sweet. T1 – Coming out of the water Alley was a stripper and I got to have her take my wet suit off then get in a giant smooch before I heade...

Getting to the Start Line - Team Klopeda: July 2013

http://teamklopedatraining.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

Tuesday, July 30, 2013. Chuckanut 30K, or 19 miles of up. Sunday morning was calm and easy. We had scheduled this race as a supported training run so there was no pre-race nervousness the night before like with most races. Driving there was quick and easy, a friend doing the 12k offered to drive so I knew I just had to make it to the car and I’d be good in the morning. Run goal was to not go too deep and run easy. Nothing above 80% effort. 8217; I love running the downs, but I. Aid station. I stayed ...
