Hell yeah, had a great month.
Weighed in at 171.6 this morning and I've weighed as little as 170.5 in the last couple days, so I think I lost 10+ pounds during the month. This is a full 10 pounds less than this date last year.
Also hit most of my workout goals.
Worked out on 25 of the 31 days:
20 days skinning, 2 days on the mountain bike (White Rim and Fruita), 2 days jogging, but I did not get into the gym and hit the weights even once.
53.25 total miles on the feet, either skinning (44.25) or jogging (9).
139.0 total miles on the mountain bike.
51,000 total feet of vertical climbing via feet (41,300) and bike (9,700)
45 hours and 15 minutes of training time.
Eight multiple lap efforts skinning and five other days knocking out the 2300' climb at Keystone.
So then, what about some challenging April goals....
I have an employee uphill skinning race on April 17th, so I'd like to have a fresh legs for that. So for the first 10 days of April I will keep the mileage, climbing, and general intensity of the workouts pretty high before backing off in the week before the race. Similarly, I'd like to keep strict attention on my diet for these first 10 days so I can lose several pounds during that time. I want to eat more and feel stronger during the week of the race so I won't try to lose much weight during that week. After the race is over I'll try to close out the rest of the month by losing a few more pounds.
So goal weight for the April 17th race = 168
April 30 goal weight = 164
Got to hit at least 50,000 feet climbing again via feet and bike.
Substitute more bike miles for skinning miles as well as some jogging and steep hiking to strengthen up my ankles and achilles.
And somehow find my way in to the gym to lift weights at least 2 times per week.

Fruita - 6 Laps at 18 Road
No powder day on Wednesday, so I left Summit County at 3:30am and headed for the North Fruita Desert to put some miles down on the super-fun trails there. A storm was moving into Colorado later in the day, but I started riding by 7:30am and got finished up right before the strong wind and rain showers moved in.
I had never ridden each and every downhill trail out there in one shot, so I figured I'd start with that and see how I felt.... ended up tacking on one more lap too.
Lap 1 - Climb Prime Cut to Chutes and Ladders
Lap 2 - Climb Prime Cut to PBR
Lap 3 - Climb Prime Cut to Kessel Run
Lap 4 - Climb Prime Cut to Joe's Ridge to MoJoe
Lap 5 - Zip-off to climb Western Zip to Zippety Do Dah
Lap 6 - Zip off to climb Western Zip to Frontside to Kessel Run.
Ended up at 36.0 miles in a total of 4 hours and 20 min.... probably had about 10 minutes of eating breaks in there.
Sweet ride... felt pretty good. I needed to get another decent one in before March ended so it was well worth the drive and $85 worth of gas I used up.

WRIAD 2014
Completed my 4th White Rim in a Day last Tuesday, March 23rd. We had a total of five riders this year and it would be the first WRIAD attempt for two of them. None of us had ridden a bike more than twice since the snow started falling this winter.
Here is a recap of our prior efforts:
http://coloradotrailrace.blogspot.com/2013/04/wriad.html
The plan for this year was to drive down after work on Monday, set-up our camp at the usual spot down by Mineral Bottoms boat ramp, grab a couple hours of sleep, and get started under the full moon to wipe out the boring road miles in the dark. I had hoped to get rolling by 2am, but it was actually 3:30 before we all started the climb up the Horsethief switchbacks.
It seemed warm as we climbed up to the Island in the Sky, but once we got up there we all got very cold. My left foot was a frozen block. It felt slightly better to keep riding than it did to stop and complain about it so we gritted our teeth and kept moving. We had left a cache of water and breakfast burritos at the top of the Shafer trail and we reached that just as twilight began about 6:45am. We waited a little too long here, about 45 minutes, but we all wanted to feel the sun on our face before we descended down to the White Rim.
Even though the high for the day was only about 48 degrees, I warmed up nicely as soon as the sun rose. One buddy had to make a pit stop at the pit toilet at Potash Road, but I knew we better get serious about laying some miles down, so I chomping at the bit to get going.
We knocked out a little chunk and stopped to regroup at Point Ramsey (38 miles), a spot so designated because that is where we had to leave our sick buddy two years ago and come back (he continued on a few miles past Murphy's Hogback) to rescue him in the truck.
Point Ramsey would end up as a 45-minute break before everyone was regrouped and ready to go, so I knew we wouldn't be setting any records out there on this day. Getting over Hardscrabble and through the deep sandy section before dark became my goal.
We have gotten accustomed to using the same rest and regroup points, so the next spot was at 51 miles where there is a good little knoll that allows you to see back down the trail a good ways. I broke out some cheese and salami and actually got in a little nap before we were on the road again after an hour break.
The next section to Murphy's Hogback contains some of the harder miles. It has some sandy sections and generally climbs for the 17 miles. I didn't stop until the top of Murphy's, and then had a very long 1hr45min break before everyone was together and ready to continue on. I got a long nap in of at least an hour, but I'm not sure that really helped much. I felt groggy when I resumed and my ass was so sore I could not even think about sitting down. I applied a fistful of Okole Stuff and that helped a little, but damn that was painful.
The 21 mile section from Murphy's to Hardscrabble loses about 1000' down to river level, so it is always a morale boost to throw down some easier miles. I got a little concerned about 10 miles out from Hardscrabble when I took a drink and discovered I had run out of water. By the time I topped out I was getting pretty thirsty, but thank goodness it was cool enough out that it wasn't a serious danger. I got a couple sips of gatorade when one of my friends reached the top and told them I was going to continue to camp.
I rode the final 12 miles back to camp without sitting down. Besides the sandy HAB section, those miles are very easy next to the Green River, so I rolled back in about 7:15pm for a 15hr45min tour.
One of these days I'm going to time-trial this thing solo and see what I can do.
My legs and body felt fine this year, but I'm not going to roll off the couch again and do this thing without some serious butt-seasoning beforehand. Pain like that is just not fun. Last year I came out with some knee pain, but didn't have any this year. I'm sure all the skinning I have been doing has strengthened them up.
One other odd thing is about my weight. I remember last year expecting to have lost a couple pounds, but I actually had gained several pounds when I weighed as soon as I got home. Then those pounds rapidly fell off over the next couple days.
The same thing happened this year. I weighed 175.4 on the day before we left. Weighed in on Wednesday when I got home and was 184.5!!! How in the hell does your body do that??? Then, Thursday morning - 182.5... Thursday night - 180.0, Friday Morning - 178.5, Friday night - 177.2, Saturday - 175.0 and finally this Sunday morning - 174.6.
Very strange, but I'm glad to have shed them all off.

March 2014 - Midway Training Wrap
I'm having a strong March so far. The Fat Cyclist weight loss challenge is going well. I hovered in the 178's for a few days and was getting annoyed since I had been working hard and eating well, but the last couple days has seen a big drop all the way down to 175.9. It seemed to work like that last time I put in big weight-loss effort in 2012. I would plateau for a few days and then would see a big drop to a new lower plateau.
My goal for vertical ascent is 50,000' for the month and here on March 15th I've recorded 29,000' already. All of that was gained in 13 skinning sessions. I've hit the 2300' vert at Keystone 4 times and made 5 multiple lap efforts at Loveland to get my average day to almost 2000'.
The legs are starting to feel really strong and I am able to use the short but fast cadence up the steep slopes for the first time. Still have not broken any PR's but I'm getting very close. I suspect if I gave my legs a little break for a day or two and made a hard effort at a route then I could probably post some PRs, but that is gonna have to wait a bit longer as I continue to build my endurance base.
Me and 4 friends are making a full-moon WRIAD (White Rim in a Day) attempt next Monday/Tuesday. It would be the 4th time to complete the loop for 3 of us, but there will be 2 more WRIAD rookies along, so who knows how long it will take. It should be fairly easy cardio-wise, but I expect my legs and especially my butt to be pretty sore afterwards. Last year we did it in April and I made a point to stand and pedal as much as possible. Hopefully it all goes well for the crew.
Big-time momentum happening now so got to keep it going!

Five Chair Challenge
Completed my own little made-up skinning challenge at Loveland after work yesterday. Decided to skin to the tops of chairs 1 to 6 to 2 to 4 to 8.
I didn't go all the way to the base area each time because I wanted to maximize the vert and eliminate the flats. Also, that would be stupid.
Here's a GPS profile:
http://connect.garmin.com/activity/458311376
I made a pretty conservative time estimate beforehand and that came out to a 3hr30min finish, but I was actually able to complete it in 2hr53min..... didn't even need the headlamp.
Felt kindof slow and crappy as I took off from the base area to the top of 1. I ascended Richards Run and took the Catwalk around to the top of 1. I had budgeted a very easy pace of 38min to the top, and despite feeling a little sluggish I still got up there in 32:25. I estimated 10 minute transitions for changing skins, skiing to the next start point, and reapplying skins. This one took 8:30, so I was already 7.5 minutes ahead of the plan. 1000' vert in the books.
Chair 6 was next and I started from the bottom of the lift and ascended Keno to Blackjack. I was starting to feel stronger, but maybe that's because chair 6 is so easy. Reached the top in 21:20 which was about what I thought it would take. Next transition to mid-way chair 2 was 8:08 so I was about 9 minutes ahead of plan now. Chair 6 is a 650' chair so total vert at 1650'.
Ate a couple Honey Stingers and headed up Drifter to the top of Chair 2.... starting to feel really good now, but I was not really pushing the pace very hard. I had guessed 30 minutes for this ascent to factor in some fatigue, but I got to the highest drop-in for South Chutes in a hair under 23min. Mid-way 2 to top is about 750' so my total was 2400'. Next transition was down the South Chutes to a big tree I like to change over at just above the bottom of chair 9.
I'd never skinned to the top of 4 before so I guessed it would take 30min from that point, but I was still feeling good and reached the top in 23:30. I was starting to think I could finish under 3 hours and get by without using the headlamp. Skiing was pretty shitty as the slush from the warm day had now frozen into death cookies, but this was more about the workout anyways. Transition to bottom chair 8 was 8:00. Lap vert was 750' for a total of 3150'.
I felt like I was just putting up Chair 8. It is pretty steep the whole way, but especially at the start. Still made it up in less than 30min and caught a spectacular sunset over the continental divide. Counted my blessings, changed my skins, and skied back down to the office to break 3 hours by a safe margin. Chair 8 is 878', so that's why I put my total vert at 4000'.
I'll give it a week or so and try this again with a little more urgency and see what I can do.

Fat Cyclist Weight Loss Contest
I enjoy reading Fat Cyclist and I could whole-heartedly relate when he recently wrote about his weight loss grace period. Basically, just like me, he had put on a thick winter coat and was having trouble facing the numbers on the scale. So he would give himself some time for stealth weight loss before publicly facing the facts on March 1..... hence, a weight loss grace period.
I was doing the exact same thing through January and February, after some horrific slacking and subsequent weight gain. I first weighed somewhere around Feb. 5 or 6th and I was within a range of 187-188. Truly disgusting.
On March 1 I weighed-in between 181-182, so I lost about 6-7 pounds without even trying too awfully hard. I just increased my workouts, ate a little better, and tried to drink a little less beer. But those were some lard-ass easy pounds to lose.
Fat Cyslist warned about an upcoming weight loss contest that would entail some serious commitment. I think I need a challenge like that to really accomplish my goals, so last night I joined up.
Here is my chart:
Shirey's Goal Page
The contest runs from March 11th to June 21st. I set a goal weight of 159.9, which would be the lightest I've been since college most likely. My lowest adult weight that I can remember is 161. So I have set a difficult goal.
I weighed last night after dinner and was 182.4 according to my wal-mart digital scale. I chose that as my starting weight in the contest. Then this morning I weighed either 180.0 or 179.6, so I'm a little conflicted about what to report today. I know I fluctuate about 3-4 pounds, but that is a pretty big change when all I did was sleep all night and piss a couple times.
I think I'll smooth that out and report 181.5 for today.... the contest doesn't really start until March 11th, so that will give me a few days to figure out the actual starting weight.
Excited to see what happens.... got started this morning on the right track with a 2-lap skin at Loveland... top of 2 & top of 9; 2.5 mile ascending, 2400' vert in 1hr22min skinning time.

February 2014 Training Wrap
Progress!
Weighed in this morning at 181.2..... not great at all and still a good ways from where I need to be, but I did lose between 6-7 pounds since I last weighed in on February 6th. I still drank a decent amount of beer, but I cranked the workouts up another notch and managed to overcome that.
For the specifics...
Worked out in some way on 24 of 28 days:
Skinning - 16 days including 8 days of multiple laps.
Shoveling Snow - 2 big days in early February digging out the driveway.
Skiing - lift-assisted skiing on 4 days that were intense enough to qualify as a workout.
Mountain Bike - 1 day at Oil Well Flats in Canon City for 13.5 miles and 1350' climbing.
Jog - 1 six-miler around the neighborhood
Gym - 1 day of weights and 1 hour on the spin bike.
Totals:
36.25 miles skinning & jogging.
28.5 miles on the MTB & spin bike.
31,900' vert climbing.
28hours & 30min time pushing it.
Lifting weights has definitely been lagging. I like doing that in the morning and its hard to motivate for that when there has been as much snow for POW skiing. If there is new snow of any measurable amount, I almost always prefer to take a few laps skinning and skiing POW. Maybe when the time changes on March 9th and the mornings go dark again for awhile I'll start doing some gym in the mornings.
GOALS for MARCH 2014:
At least 50,000' of climbing vert via all sources.... skinning, hiking, mountain biking, jogging.
Lose at least another 6-8 pounds to get down below 175 by the end of the month.
More time on the mountain bike.... planning another White Rim go-round for the full-moon on March 17th. Sounds like the whole crew is going this year so it won't be a particularly hard effort, but just getting 100 miles done on the bike will be good enough. Must get in at least another desert trip to put down a couple days of good miles.
Weights????? Well, cardio and weight loss will probably continue to be a priority, but I need to figure out a way to get in there 2-3 times a week at least.

Weights????? Well, cardio and weight loss will probably continue to be a priority, but I need to figure out a way to get in there 2-3 times a week at least.
