Saturday day of fun.

4:45 AM on Saturday I awoke to a nice rain, dogs and Kristen were still sleeping. I txted Brian and Diane, "Still riding". with in a few seconds I got back a "Why not". 15 minutes later I was off with my bike to the meeting spot. With the raining coming down we took off on the trail. This was the start of an all out 3is hour ride though the rain. Apparently the rock/sand/gravel they lay is salty, very salty. Gross, and when it got in your eyes... Sucked.

As they say... Doesn't have to be fun for you to be having fun.

I ended up having to ride slower because of the salt getting in my eyes and the lack of a back break for some odd and unknown reason. Around the 15 mile mark I had a pack of Gu and we turned around. 30 miles in about 2:45:00 not bad. By the time we got back I had some how managed to acumulate close to 1lbs of sand on the back of my jersey.

After the ride we headed up to Adventure Rock to climb. Laps, nothing but laps. 3 - 4 laps in one go. Some on lead some just TR. Was tired after a couple hours of that, nothing over 5.9 mind you, just a lot of climbing and some bouldering.

After climbing we had a lunch of a sandwhich, trail mix and a few other things on the way back to our Park that we do our routine:
10 pushups.
20 Russian Twists (25lbs)
25 Hindu Squats
10 Burpies
60 Medicine ball toss (10lbs)
6 Turkish Get-ups (we do it with a 35lbs punching bag)
5 Jump and heaves - Jump to a pullup
10 under-overs - Jump over a bar and then go under it.
20 Swings (alternating arms) with 25 lbs.

Did that 3 times.

After that it was off to the Forset Perserve for some running and laps with boots & pack. During the run, my left arm ended up cramping so bad I had to slow it down and walk some of it. I think this was because I didn't hydrate enough. (As Camelbak says... Hydrate or Die). Laps with boots and a 30 lbs pack was fun, but I wish the hill was bigger.
