Shirley Lake Run-ish hike with BGD

June 24, 2016 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 90? pretty warm

Comments:
Pretty good day, with an inauspcious start.

Slept it a teeny bit, then we got up, and I made breakfast for me, CA and her uncle Andy. We left around 8:30 for SV. A lot of shit was in the works today:

- CA had to run long
- I needed to "network" - mill around, chat with folks, hand out some business cards!
- meet up with Didrik
- meet up with Tommy, who picked up our APT keys yesterday

But we also had to connect all our damn utilities for our new place, so CA spent about 20+ minutes on the phone with the electric company on the drive there, which was annoying and stressful! But we got it done, and I later went online and did gas and garbage. Another annoying errand, CHECK.

At Squaw:

- CA hit the trail around 10
- I hung out at the UR tent for quite a while, had some nice chats with Krazy Karl, Erica, Rob Goyen, TJ, etc
- went to Starbz for a while, ran into Lewis and MB
- hooked up with Tommy and got some work done at Starbz
- FINALLY met Didrik at 12:45 or so
- went to the pre-race meeting with him: REALLY cool. I think Craig gave the best RD pre-race speech yet:

--- "Drink to thirst"
--- "Don't take too much salt"
--- "It's OK to drop if you feel absolutely F'd"

- I bugged out when CA and BGD got here.

After that, BGD and I went for a nice hike-shuffle up to High Camp. REALLY good chats and catch-up time! Couldn't believe how easily the HR jacked up, as even a moderate hike got me to threshold at times. But it was a great outing.

Post-run-hike:

- beers at Dubliner
- burgers at another place
- drove back to Reno!
