Met Brandon for a lap on Green today. The plan was for me to give him a head start, maybe 5 minutes or so, as to be close by the top, but we got our wires crossed (my fault) and he ended up with a bit of a larger jump on me than anticipated. Going up seemed like a
bit lot more work than last week and the stats confirm that I worked 2 bpm harder to go 47 seconds slower. I am sure the fact that it was in the mid 80's (vs. low 60's and rainy last week) played a huge role. My throat got pretty clogged today too and I am beginning to re-think that I might have exercised induced asthma, as I get this maybe 2/3 of the time on harder runs. Or maybe I am just more susceptible to poor air quality (there seemed to be smoke in the air from that Lefthand fire and I did wake up this morning with a very sore throat).
So, met Brandon on the summit and took it super casual on the down. Hung out at the lot for a few, met up with the family, where I took over possesion of the girls so Allison and Sierra could take their turn.
Oh, a few shots I took on my drive into work this morning:
