Switchbacks

Saturday, May 23, 2009
Today I ran (slowly) outside for the first time in a least a month.  It was tough but felt good.  Just 30 minutes. Max 146 (73%) .  average 128 (64%) including warmup.  Average for run was about 70%MHR  289 calories.

Friday afternoons there is a  freeride clinic at the colonnade.  It is inexpensive ($10) and for women only.  This week the topic was switchbacks.  I brought the  Ventana with me and my heart sank when they said we were working on switchbacks because the bike is really big and heavy (I'm guessing it is over 40 lbs) and has a large turning radius.  As it turned out I did great on the Ventana and it handled great.  By the end of class we had rode most of the switchbacks at the colonnade which is pretty amazing.  I'm loving the Ventana!  I'm amazed at how much my skills have improved at the Colonnade!
