<p>Nice catch Ronbo! I did sorta hide the report. It was the final race of a 4 race series. I had one not so great race and lost time. I needed to beat the guy ahead of me in the series standings by about 2:40. We ran side by side until around 8.5 miles. He slowed to get a drink from tha aid station there and I made my move. I pushed as hard as I could go into the brutal wind and beat him to the 20K finish by 2:10. Not quite good enough. I did get 3rd in AG for the race but 4th for the series. Maybe next year!</p>

<p>This series draws some serious runners. A couple of the races were won by guys from the Army's World Class Athlete program. One of them won some national level 5K championship a few months ago. The short series was won by a pro triathlete who won IM St. George last year. He ran a 33 minute 10K in the hills and wind yesterday.</p>

<p>BTW, nice workout Ron!<br><br>

Cool/low 40s - Sunny and extremely strong wind w/gusts of 50+. PPRR Winter Series #4. The course is mostly on dirt roads in Black Forest. Almost constant hills. From about mile 8 to 11.5, the course was exposed to the wind and it was very difficult to keep a strong pace. Nothing like running uphill into a 50+ mph headwind to slow down the pace a bit. 3rd in AG.</em><span style="display:none;"> </span></div>

<div>Me today... slept like CRAP. Got up middle of the night with a sore throat (not uncommon this time of year after long run, so I don't worry) and just couldn't get to sleep (for me a LONG time to get to sleep is like 5min). Finally got up and to the gym....</div>
<div>35min run (supposed to be 45min) FIB</div>
<div>Group ride 3hrs. w/ some ball buster warmups - 20s @ 400watts and 10s rest - repeat 8x. Holy crap I think my trainer was going to explode! It sure sounded like it! (when we do group spin @ club I bring my cheap Mag trainer) - then coach tony have mercy 2 hour deal - then screwing around. Had company for the first 2:15 which really helped because I'm just dragging ass today. 19hour training week and I'm TIRED. Recovery week next week.... good thing so I can fight off this bug!</div>
