incline friday

Rough morning up there and my legs and head never felt into it. I bailed at the cut-off and jogged back down Barr. Had planned to hit Grays and Torreys this weekend but sounds like there is more snow up there than I want to deal with. Backup plan is Mt. Rosa from Gold Camp Rd. Looking forward to a local hike that isn't Barr Trail. Supposedly some good scenery at the St Mary's Falls and nice views from the top.

incline 9/14

After getting up the incline in a relatively quick (for me) 47 minutes and change last Friday, I followed that performance up with a 63 minute effort this morning.  I started out pretty quick but I could tell soon that my HR was way high and it wasn't long before my legs felt like weights.  Took a break at one point and just sat on a rock trying to fight back a puker.  Thought long and hard about heading back down to the bail out point but got off my ass and headed onward and upward. 

Didn't feel great on the run down the Barr Trail either.  Just glad to get it over with.
