Run/hike 1:51:40 from Wonderland up Hogback Ridge loop, down Eagle trail to BVR and back
distance - 10.7 miles
terrain - gravel, dirt, rock trail with a few steep climbs
- Notes: Bonked really fucking hard today. Didn't eat before going out and this route has no shade, I was hurting by mile 6. Never done the hogback loop but it was pretty rocky/technical on the ascent. Did a decent bit of walking. This is a good route to add some serious miles to, as the BVR loop also connects to Boulder res and all of the dirt roads back there.
- Nutrition: Adding a note to myself that I am going to stop my fasted runs and lifts in the morning. The past couple times I have done it has resulted in a serious energy bonk for whatever reason, so...eat something before going out. It's funny that I could easily handle it during the semester when I am busy and stressed, but during relaxing summertime it isn't working out? Probably just a sign that I need to eat more. Bonus - came home and made a bomb-ass smoothie: 1 cup coconut water, 1 cup whole milk, half a banana, blueberries, half avocado, half scoop of protein, honey, 1 salt stick capsule, cinnamon. Life saver.
- Body: Pretty sore - abs, upper back, and traps.
- Extra: Signing up for my first 50k soon, just trying to make a final decision on which race. More on that later.
