Boulder Weekend

Keeping my promise to update more often, here's a recap of the weekend.
Saturday started with a good swim on my own. I did 3x1k, with the 1st as negative split, 2nd was 4x250 build and the last was 500 pull, 500 all out. I did some hard 50's and headed home. After some muesli and toast I packed up the car with my bike, shoes, helmet, food clothes and Court's Cross bike. The idea was to meet with some guys at Amante in Boulder at 10:30 for a good ride, hang out with Mike and Mel who let us stay at their place, then do a long run on Sunday on Magnolia Road.
We pulled into Amante at 10 and had time to check out the scene of riders getting their espressos before their ride. Things got a little screwy, but Jon and I headed out finally. We went out towards Carter Lake, but with clouds rolling in we headed back towards Boulder. From there we hit 66, went East, headed South on the I 25 frontage road and steered back to Boulder on 52. We hit the cars at 3:45 and Jon went for a run while I pedaled back out for another hour. Court met up with us back at the cars after her run.
Court and I went to Safeway where I grabbed 2 yogurts and some trail mix and a small Jamba Juice. I put the yogurt in a cup, mixed in some of the trail mix and chowed down. After eating both yogurts, all the mix and half the Jamba Juice I realized I had just put down over 1,000 calories. Man, it was good. We drove to MIke and Mel's where I showered up and relaxed a bit. The four of us headed downtown to D'Napoli's for dinner. I ordered a great pizza w/ sundried tomatos, mozerella, feta, spinach, garlic and some italian sausage. I added a glass of wine and enjoyed a great night.
The morning came soon and I met Billy Edwards at the Flatirons Athletic Club. We drove up to Magnolia Rd., which is about 8500 ft. in elevation. It's a rolling dirt road where all the top triathletes and world class marathoners go. Sure enough, we saw Gordo, Chris McDonald and Jorge Torres (a former CU runner and world class 10k runner). It was a solid 2 hour run. No speed, just steady strong running. From Magnolia we went back to the FAC for a 2k swim. The water was great and the legs felt much better afterwards.
It was a good weekend of training. Monday and Tuesday are for resting, then it's an LT test in Boulder to see where I am at on the bike. Things are looking good for Roth!
