Sunday new hill climb PR

 Another HUGE PR on this 2.5 mile climb. In the last 3 weeks I have gone:
20:30
20:04
19:39
2.5 miles at ~7% average grade topping out at 9200ft.

Do you think that you should avoid grocery shopping:)?

It always amazes me how easy it is to turn wrong, step wrong, have someone run into you with a shopping cart (that one happened to me once a couple days before a big race). Oh well, that's life.

Remarkable therapy as well!

Thanks Mike- Didn't you also step off a curb wrong once and torque a rib?
Ya, the therapy was one I will never give to an athlete. No way though, with just 5 days to go for Leadville, was I going to sit around and wait for it to get better!
Thanks

It's because in the mountains at 9000 ft, even the grocery store floor are steep!! Be careful, man! See you Saturday!

Just sit in a chair in a dark room and don't move. Hold position until Saturday. Almost there.

Thanks JP.

Seriously Brandon, that's about how I feel for this coming week.
