Trail run 2 hours with 30lb race pack. 1700ft elevation gain, Mt Falcon, ~9 miles.
Swam 1 hour.
Thoughts: The run was kinda tough, but well worth pushing through. Had a storm pass overhead and it was really nice, lots of wind and clouds. the trail was really beautiful. Hard going directly to the swim.....my body wanted a break. Throughout the swim I kept telling myself.... the mind tells the body when to quit, and it's not time! a really good solid workout today!
13 days till race night.....

Thoughts:
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.....

100 pull-ups
50 hanging leg raises
250 push-ups
100 24" vertical jumps
Swam 1hr 10 min
Thoughts:
16 days and counting....
We fly out two weeks from yesterday. The pre race drama has been going on for the last few weeks on Facebook, I basically look to see if they have added anything new to our gear list and them I leave the site. Lots of egos on there, so I try to avoid that energy. I have most of the gear I will need and just need to finalize everything and tie up a few loose ends.
Here is the "Required gear list":
-pencil
-goggles
-tape measure
-hand saw
-hand drill with 1/2" bit
-ax
-10th piece climbing rope
-a live fish
Looking fun so far!
