Sept 25 - 30

Monday - Ride with Corey, he went to ruins, I turned at techy. PR for techy 3:45, also for techy "cool way" loop 2nd place at 9:08. PR for Power plant down, 2:06. Good stuff. 

Tuesday - I took carpool today, C&W went to Corner Canyon. Two one minute handstands, one chin up, 100 sec hollow hold.

Wednesday - Ride with Corey, Ruins, Techy, and Techgnar. 

Thursday - morning walk, talked to Nicole, 2.73 miles, 47 minutes

Friday - Ride with Corey this morning, 1 hour 36 min, 11.33 miles, went to Ruins, Techy down, I'm getting pretty good at techy, I usually hit all the sections. Today brief miss on the first rock pile but I did all the rest, it's fun

Saturday - Bike ride by myself in Corner Canyon this morning. 8.18 miles, 1 hour 3 min, I did Anns, Edelweiss, and then Rush down. 18 achievements out of 26 segments. (8PRs, 4 Silver, 6 Bronze) I did not beat all my PRs from last year on Nov 1, but that might be because my Fezzari is freaking heavy. I got 2nd place on Clarks to potato hill - last year was 10:42, today 11:41. I think I want to try and go do it again this year with my silver bike to see if I can get a PR, cause I think I'm stronger than I was last year, so we'll see... A few of the PRs I did get were from the trailhead to Clarks Bridge 1:35 (1:53 last year) I did get a PR for the BST intersect to Potato Hill - 5:01 today, 5:08 last year. Last two turns to the tunnel was a PR too at 3:30, previous best was 3:34. Hmm, I did have to slow down a few times until I was able to pass people, so maybe that's what the extra min is from. Half Ann, 1.32 miles, was a PR at 11:40 (11:45 last year). I did get a PR on rushing corners! PR was 2:45 on 6/24/23, today I got 2:50! I am pretty cautious and prob a little slow on the corners, so I'm glad with that 2nd place. Also got a PR for Rush Top 2/3 (10:51), The Trees (5:51), Fly By night (3:14), Mystic Rhythms (4:02). And tied my PR for Lower Rush at 1:01.

Sep 11- 16

Monday - Corey's going on a ride with a neighbor up Big Mountain on Wed, and he wanted to do it this morning to test himself. I'm guessing he'll take tomorrow off. That is a good climb. I was a slightly reluctant biker this morning, but I was able to handle it mostly, prob cause I took Saturday off. (I can't believe I did it three times during the week we stayed at Snowbird!) Corey and I both got 7 achievements (3 PRs) on the descent, nothing on the climb though. 8.09 miles, 1:37 minutes. 1580 feet elevation

Tuesday -  Shorter ride with Corey this morning - up the quarry trail just past avalanche hill and back. 8.2 miles, 58 minutes. 

Wednesday - Corey and Wes went on a ride this morning, I didn't feel like it. I was kinda in a funk today, carried over from yesterday (too much ice cream might be the culprit). I did stretching from the Core Play. I wanted to go on a ride this evening, but I stayed home and made dinner instead. I'll be ready to go in the morning.

Thursday - I left for a ride at 6:37 this morning, Corey stayed up too late, so he didn't come with me. 10.87 miles, 1 hour 25 min, I went to the techy section and back. Techy section is fun. I got a bronze for the fastest section alive, 4:14 (PR is 4:01 from 8/14/23)

Friday - I took carpool this morning, so Corey and Wes went on a ride. I went on a short morning walk to the school (pushing P&K in a stroller and following O and D who wanted to ride their bikes) then just doing some stretching, 100 second hollow. Did Core Play Day 1, which was 3 rounds of:
  • 10 leg raises
  • 10 eagle crunches
  • 10 touch the toes
  • 10 each side - on back legs side to side
Saturday - 7am ride with Corey at Corner Canyon, up Canyon Hollow and Brocks, down Rush, did The End 2x. 22 achievements for me, PRs for: Canyon and Brocks 1.76 miles in 23:24; Canyon Hollow Grunter .3 miles 3:58, quite a few PRs on rush downhill but I don't know what the sections are, except for "the end" I got a PR of 1:01! Second time today was 1:06. Previous PR was 1:03 on Sept 1st.

Then in the evening we played soccer at Waterford with my brother and his kids.

Tuesday - Ride to ruins with Corey. After the 2nd bridge, Corey got an important phone call, so he walked and I walked most of it up until Lisa falls. Moving time 1:37, 11.39. I did get a PR for techy (3:55) and DH Quarry (3.6 miles in 17:07). Good stuff

Wednesday - Corey took our bikes in for a tune up yesterday, and they are still gone, so we just did a walk today, I was glad to go together, although I would have liked to go a little bit faster, but it's ok. We walked (slowly) to sunrise point and back home. 2.39 miles in 46 minutes. 

Thursday - Ruins and Techy with Corey this morning. 11.22 miles, 1 hour 31 minutes. PR for temple to mushroom land 2.71 miles in 36:30, PR LCC Trail climb to 2nd bridge 1.85 miles in 24:05, and PR for 1st bridge to top 2.23 miles in 34.43. Three second best times for Up Mile 2 (14:43) Temple Quarry 2 bridge to top 1.38 in 21:51, and 3rd bridge to top 14:01. Three 3rd places too, one was Quarry up and down with techy 1:12:59. PR was 1:11:43 on 7/25/23. At the techy section I did the two rock piles and nailed the other parts of the techy section, yay! I got to the end and waited for Corey, he took a while, when he finally came he said that he took a hard fall - not fast, but on a steep part he must have been too much forward. 

Friday - Wes took Hyrum to BYU Idaho today, so I had to take carpool, so no bike ride this morning. I did go at 2pm by myself, 11.94 miles, 1 hour 31 minutes, PR from LC to 1st bridge, 10:29. LC Interval on descent, 3rd fastest time 5:53. Back at home, I watched this GMB video and followed along, good stuff. First time seeing them, watched a few of their videos. Thanks youtube algorithm!

Saturday - Corey and Joseph went to Corner Canyon, I let J take my bike. I went on a walk to sunrise point 2.6 miles, 5088 steps, 44 minutes. I also went by the school and did 3 passes on the monkey bars.
