Week 34 - 11,800' (411,000')

232 - 1,400' - Shut-In.
233 - 2,200 - 4 laps on the Bear Wallow loop.
234 - 0'
235 - 1,400' - Shut-In
236 - 2,600' on a mix of trails w/ a TT on Shut-In. See previous post.
237 - 500' - Roads.
238 - 3,700' - Pilot Ridge and Shut-In.
Had a solid week here and legs still feel pretty good. Today(day 238) was a tough one though. Pilot Ridge starts off with a 300' climb, then drops 2,000'. Turn around and come back up the 2,000' and down the 300'. Then over to the Shut-In that starts with a 300' climb, then drops 1,100', turn around and up the 1,100' and down the 300'. This is "only" an 11 mile run so the average grade on the climbs (and descents) are around 13%. The car is parked where the 2 trails meet so makes it perfect for not needing to carry too much.
Looking forward to following UTMB tomorrow. We have some really fast and strong Americans over there that should be running up front.
