Snow at last




We finally got a snowstorm this winter and got about a foot yesterday. It'll probably all melt by the end of the weekend with the roasting CO sun.
The Y was close yesterday from the storm which was probably a good thing. I've felt like junk in the pool for a couple weeks now and felt much better today. Got in a main set of 4x300y on the 4:40, 4x200y on the 2:50, and 4x100y on the 1:30. Got it going and swam the 3's in 3:45, 2's in 2:28, and 1's in 1:10. Not crazy fast but much better than my middle school girl swim level as of late.
Last week Sean laid on the biking. Thursday we had a ride/run at the crit loop. I felt awesome and was rollin. At the end we finished off with a 1 lap TT that I did on my road bike in 3:35 so I'm def in very good shape.
Saturday we hit up Chatfield Worlds. Ahh good ol' Chatfield Worlds. It's an unofficial race every weekend where all the local teams show up, ride the same loop every weekend, and crush it. I think we were the only guys there not in full out team get up. Every guy there had team jersey, team top warmers, team panties.
There were a bit too many folks there and it was a bit dicey so we won't be making it a training staple. About one hundred riders showed and I counted 5 crashes.
Riding felt good though and we were all up in the mix, especially Matt who caught the front break with 4 other guys.
After that as if I wasn't tired enough we rode Lookout Mtn (1500ft vert) 3x on Sunday. I rode decent with the Bang Salon cycling guys on the first one in just under 21. After that I chilled out and rode 23 average, keeping it all under control.
Next week is the TT up Lookout which I'm locked and loaded for. Tom Danielson (of team Postal fame) has the record in 16:01 which makes riding it in mortal times feel a bit less special. 16:01. Sick. But if the winds are right I think I can best my 19:30 PB.

So what time of the AM does that Chatfield Worlds hammerfest start? Does anyone show-up in the summer months?

Nice Blog! Hope the 2009 season goes well for you!

Thanks!
It started at 8am in the spring but I'm not sure what happens in the summer. All the big local cycling teams go so if you see one of their riders out then try asking them.
