Boulder Track Mile

PG's got the video, thanks!

Great runs by Brownie and GZ, especially just days removed from Hardrock and Hardrock pacing, respectively (and while saving something for the upcoming steeplechase).

5:01.7, as painfully close as it was to run. That translates to 4:59 for 1600m -- so I didn't account for the extra 9.34 meters.




I didn't die though so hopefully 'nother shot next month.

Mountain Avenue Mile

Mountain Avenue Mile is our traditional 1 Mile summer Thursday night race. There is only a single left turn to the finish, so it's nearly impossible to get lost. A steady 40 foot drop over the course undoubtedly helps with fast and competitive times, but is barely perceptible when looking down the straight road.

8.5 days before Leadville, with zero relevance to that event, would doing a quick intense workout be a Lydiard-esque stroke of mad genius, or a foolish hamstring-tearing, lung-bleeding nightmare?

4:47, still in one piece. PR by 6.5 seconds from 2008.

And Slush earns a margarita glass for 2nd Masters!
