Once again in the good OL days, 10 to 15 years ago, she ran from 12 to 14 ultras leading to Quicksilver, every year. Including Miwok 100k to return crazy to the back to the back to the back. It was granted, Quicksilver was not always 100,000, and it was initially 50 miles, until the western states required to extend it to 100,000 to remain qualified.

I did not have much hills this year; It will harm 13,000 feet of Quicksilver 100k! I was late to pressure the hill training and build Glues, but I returned to Black Mountain as a last resort. He did not disappoint you, I walked a lot! As for the thermal training that is also needed, that was a complete Miss, the atmosphere was really cold in the cloud at the top, Yixes!

I conducted my start to reach the Steves Creek Strides meeting in the tank, my former club that I joined in 2003 and where I learned a lot about the superior running. Time flying, there were only 3 people I knew, but it is great to see new blood in this club. Tim and Adam put a strong pace at the front of the group!

I left the group at the end of Zinfandel, to continue directly on the high Canyon Trail road, this path that we will operate in September in half of Steves Creek Reservoir Half. I stopped at the top to take some Gua and SP energy chewing! On my way back to Stevens Creek Canyon’s road, the group that was running that episode against the clockwise.

Back to the road turned to the left, towards the Black Montenegro. A few miles away from asphalt, then returning to Canyon Trail along Stevens Kreik. She climbed to the camp on the Indian Kreik Trail road and bottom in Bella Vista Tre. I have never seen many bikes on such a running, and perhaps a scale of the total. And a few hikers, despite the cold, cloudy weather. He reminded me of the beginning of the epidemic when the crowds were flowing these tracks!

As I mentioned above, some are walking on the way, but I kept paying whenever I could, if not very crazy, to avoid any injury, one week before the race. I wrapped ankle only once, while jumping over a healthy creek when moving between Palu Alto and Cobino. I ended up 33 miles at a moderate rate of 9:37, and I did not count many stations.

Talking about tables, all very strong, wonder, the tank is full! I read this week that the largest California reservoir was running again, 3 years in a row. I hope they can convert some of this water under the ground, as it has exhausted contracts of intense cultivation centuries of reserve.

Since I ran on Saturday, I was not tree and I was not very painful on Sunday. The biggest obstacle was a lot of the Qalla on Saturday, the best payment of more attention on the day of the race per week!

I used to get used to good health, to run the next race distance for two days, or 3 days for 100 miles, two weekends before the race, as a final preparation. My goal was to run 50 thousand this Sunday, if I could manage. However, flat to keep the knee. My classic way to Palo Alto Baylands via Cupertino, Sunnyvale, Mountain View and Shoreline Park. This time it was sunny, so at least, I spent a few hours in the sun. But the breeze was still cooling the air. Since I later left, I could have a little heat training between noon and 2, and my shirt has become at least salty.

I managed to withstand the pace of 8 minutes/mile to 23 mile, then stumbled a little. I don’t consider stations less than yesterday, I ended up 4:12:25 for 50 kg, 8:07. Corus’s reactions were that this range was excessive. Interestingly, the matter said the same thing yesterday, but not Sunday morning, perhaps, it may admit that I have recovered much faster than 90+ hours described …

We will have to see on the race day how hot it will be. At least we start early (4:30 am, Duh!) So the morning should be fine.

This was generally good. Do not feel very confident towards witnesses, not even below the slopes with the knee; I will take it easily and accept to be slower, in a course that I liked to put it otherwise, a few years ago. Going 8, after DNS last year. I have a red eye to Boston immediately after the race, so it was not too late in the afternoon … Meanwhile, it was a good, well -deserved week. Then the excitement in the Gulf region, these superior traditions and the party!
