Wednesday:
- The scores for the Crossfit open have finally settled and are final. I ended up 3228st place out of about 16,000 in my age group of 45-49 worldwide. I will take that considering this is not my main sport and I am coming back from a pretty serious back injury. Here is a breakdown of how I did in years past but the amount of people participating was less most of the years so my overall percentage was higher this year than it ever has been, I was in the 78th percentile this year, if you are in the 90th percentile you get to move on to quarterfinals. That will never happen unless I learn how to do a ring muscle-up or get much stronger on overhead movements.

8:30 AM: 5 miles averaging 8min pace. Easy shakeout after the gym over at Davidson Mesa. Been a while since I have been over here, used to by my daily run. It could be come my daily run again for there are talks at work of making us go back to the office. A new VP is pushing for it... sigh..... might start looking for a new job that is remote if that happens, we will see. Some of the people at work who have been at Medtronic for 20-30 years were going to work 2-3 more years before retiring but now are talking about retiring now if they are forced to go back to the office. Needless to say most people are not happy about it.
Saturday:
8 AM: Salida Marathon- 24 miles w/ 4200ft of vert in 3:35. Salida Marathon- Started out really slow and built into it as time went on. Had to stop at mile 2 to shit again and lots of potty breaks as well the first half, broke my diet for dinner the night before and paid the price. Second half went great but I was short on total distance and could not figure out why. After looking at other runner's Strava I figured it out. I was directed to go the wrong way by a volunteer at the last aid station (or I thought was the last aid station) so missed a 2 mile loop towards the end around at mile 21. Didn’t figure it out until I finished of course and I told the race director pulling my name from the age group awards. Oh well, got a good workout in. Lots of snow up top, mid-shin and snowed most of the race. No photos during the race, I did not carry my phone due to how wet we got.
Hung around Salida for 3ish hours looking in shops, getting coffee, and an Old Fashion before heading to Bob's house in Leadville to ski on Sunday.
Sunday:
10 AM: Combo of Uphill Skimo and Alpine Skiing. 12 miles w/ 5500ft of vert. We had a skin failure were the glue was not sticking to the ski so we switched to just doing downhill and jumped on the lifts. We did get in about 3 miles and 2000ft before that happened, the rest of the mileage and vert is just downhill. My legs (especially the hips and quads) were fucking trashed today from the race. Had to take a lot of breaks on the downhill due to cramping but the uphill was fine, just tired. All good even though I think I was annoying Bob a little bit. LOL...

Total Weekly Numbers
Not a bad week overall. Was hoping for a bigger week than last week but ended about the same. If I would have ran the whole course on Saturday and the legs would have held out longer on Sunday's ski it would have been a bigger week. Still a really solid week that I am pleased about. 2 more big weeks then it is taper time for the Grand Traverse Ski.
