Aftermath CDA 06: Summary of "week off"
Monday 7/3/06
Yeah, CDA is over and secondary goal accomplished. Hopefully reasonable conditions at Kona but in that race, anything can happen. Right hamstring is still tight, and I will start slowly stretching tonight.
Took a week off after CDA. Drove the Oregon coast tuesday last week. Then Mountain biked down in Bend, OR 5-6 hours easy on wed. Thursday, white-water rafted the Deschuttes river in Maupin, OR.
Drove to Hood River, OR thursday night. Climbed Mt Adams friday morning (12,276) starting at the trailhead at 5000 ft. Summitted in record time for me (my 4th climb on this one) in 8:20, despite getting lost twice for about 20 minutes on the way down. Very tough to see trail since everything still covered in snow down to the trailhead. Heavy winds blew over other's tracks by the time the descent was over. Glisaded about 3000 feet both off the true summit, and off the false summit all the way down to lunch counter at 9000 ft.
Drove back to Portland on Friday night. Did a nice 30 mile skyline hill ride (2600 ascent) on saturday morning. Then took sunday off. Ate alot of crap last week...it felt great.
