*NOTE: sleeveless apparel highly recommended for this WOD.

830 am-45min-run >6 miles;

planed work out: mellow pace on the semi flats, then hammer it out on hills recover on downhill and flats. Made it from my place to the trails over Strawbarry Canyon Rec center above the Coliseum. Made it home just in time to unload blocks.

4 pm-2 hours- Ride; climbed from HQ to Ashby to Claremont to Grizzly Peak blvd. down some fast side street to park.

then 45 x 1 min rd of 5 pull-10 push-15 squat, adding 1 rep to each exercise after every 15 min.

ot home and looked up the climb I did on the Cal Cycling team website and found this.

Claremont Ave
Distance: 2.3 miles
Climbing: 968' -- 340' to 1,308' 9 Location: Claremont Hotel up to Grizzly Peak Blvd

The toughest climb in the hills that I regularly do. The first mile is an inviting, "gentle" 6% grade. Then it gets steep and tough. If you want more climbing at the top, turn left and head up Grizzly Peak Blvd and then up Vollmer Peak. The descent is a screamer, especially after the big hairpin.

It did seem a little hard.

Drill it!
