There was a lot of Woods to Water, a lot of Phil Schrader...

4.5mi (Brian Kraft 5K): 16:43. Still hot, but much better than yesterday. Basically no warm up since Lake Nokominotgonnaworkhere is impossible to find. Wasn't at top-end, but legs were obviously a tad on the fatigued side. SCRC owns Collegeville from here on out...

13mi, Woods to Water (Leg 7): 3.6 in 19:18ish (5:30s), 3.1 in 16:54ish (5:27s), 3.7 in 21:20ish (5:55s). Fun, as always, for Slab City's first W2W victory (7:26:48). Many have explained that it was "hot", and some have employed "hell" as a measuring stick. I think that the best illustration of the conditions is the fact that Hooley and Jaime were able to have a sincere and literal discussion ascertaining precisely which level of Dante's Inferno included the 2006 Woods to Water Relay. Lake Superior felt wonderful.

Week: 57. Hooley - did Biz have to run less than me to earn your pizza or just hit "in the 70s"? And may I lay claim to any unclaimed pizzas that may now be floating about?

3mi, 21:53 (7:18/mi): Pre-Meet Loop. Ugh. Shin much better but legs still empty...

No Running. Lots of Ice. Meager assist with Weissenborn's Beer Release.
