Training in the desert

greenspun.com : LUSENET : orienteer kansas : One Thread

I'm spending a couple of days i Tucson doing some training with Mook. Today, we climber Wasson Peak. Mook has run it in under 44 minutes. It took me 74 today. Now, I'm not exactly moving fast, but I'm quite impressed with Mooks record. I managed to arrive in Tucson just in time for record heat -- upper 80s. Coming from a relatively comfortable KC to a hot southern Arizona was a shock.

Tomorrow we'll probably run up a canyon. More climb and more heat. It should be fun.

Mook and I did another long run today. We ran up Bear Canyon. It was not as hilly as yesterday and I felt a bit better (no pain in my hamstring). The heat got to me a bit. By the end, I was dragging.
