Around Auburn with Thomas and BGD

December 2, 2016 (Afternoon)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: cool but sunny (and, retrospectively, smokey/allergies)

Comments:
Decent, but hard, drive down to Auburn. I'm out of driving shape! Made several stops, including in Ashland for coffee, Weed for gas, another pee stop south of Redding, then finally to Auburn.

Thought a TON about how FUBAR the WSER lottery is: it promotes and rewards premature entry, and punishes slow preparation (not entering). It's STUPID.

Got to Auburn mid-afternoon and since I was early, I jogged around on my own. I felt tired from the track session, and the HR seemed significantly and inexplicably jacked.

Both Thomas and BGD arrived around the same time, and the three of us warmed-up more, jogging all the way down to Robie Point and back. We chatted about my lotto ideas, which also jacked my HR.

The rest of the session:

- filmed Thomas run
- watched he and BGD run 2x (300-200-100)

Those guys (namely Thomas) are FAST! I would've been smoked by them both! Really impressed.

Post-reps, we jogged some cool-down.

PM: changed and went to Ale House to eat. Thomas bought, which was really nice of him. Tyler and BISP showed up. We ran into the "WSER Royalty" -- LB and his court (he, Laurie, Meghan, Keyes, MB) but we didn't court with them.

Post-dinner, BGD and Thomas took off, and I met up with the Curley's at a restaurant next door, then we went back to their place.

Solid day.
