Hunt from MrR's

January 27, 2015 (Night)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
My first real hunt since mid-December! Yeesh!

Consisted of:
OGs: me, Dan-o, and Tommy (making his triumphant return from a back strain)
2nd Gen: MrR, Hammer
3rd Gen: Matthew Sterner

MrR leaves halfway up to Ridgeline, so we first ran down and past LB's old place, then west to the Ridgeline, then over to Spencer.

MrR was pushing the pace - quite a bit, actually - on the run. Just wayyy too fast (so beyond MAF) on the climbs, and, per usual, too slow on the downs. But I was feeling good so I just went along.

Had some good chats about ultras and WS (the future of runner tracking, how LB wants to get rid of pacers), which was a good time passer. Then, MrR turned a long hunt into crazy-long by wanting to hike the steep north face of Spencer. We were already an hour in, and my ankles were painful, so I bowed out with Tommy and we ran straight back, for 80min (8mi) total.

Ankles were so so on the descent...then I realized that I'm STILL keeping them stiff: both the anterior shins AND calves were sore! WTF? I'm like a retard, sometimes, with how this shit happens. UGH.

Post-run: Matt Thornton was there for "social" (Foot pain, no running), and brought home brew. Then Emily showed up (also social only) with MORE beer, then 20min later, the crew finally returned. "Spring Reign" is in bottles and Emily brought some. SOOO GOOD.

Pretty good run and hunt, all 'round.

Wore the blue+yellow N1s.
