Friday 031612

I found Tera’s post on pool running amusing, and Neal’s post on his marathon aspirations interesting.

AM – 5 miles.  Easy.

Well, Pikes reg fields are up.  Looks like there is still room to get into the Ascent but the marathon filled pretty fast this year.  From the site:  General Registration:
Ascent Wave 1 - Open, register below
Ascent Wave 2 - Open, register below
Marathon Field 1 - filled in 3h27 vs 1h39 in '11, 45m in '10, 1d10h in '09 and 26m in '08
Marathon Field 2 - filled in 1h01 vs 17h in '11, 5.25h in '10, 5d in '09 and 50m in '08

Might need to start a few polls to get things going … How many miles will you do between now and the start (about 22 weeks out)?  What will KJ do for an ascent / full trip?  Who are you top five in the Ascent?  How many guys will break 2:30 in the climb over the weekend?  Will either race have a repeat winner?  Who is currently NOT on the entry list that you expect to show up (as a comp entry or a former winner – other than the compression kid)?

Afternoon – Pressed for time, I did a 7.5 tempo on the local Ridgeview Trail.
