Chris "Krash Man" Pope

It was a great Century.  I biked the first half hard.  The first 15 miles I biked in the large group.  It felt like I was in the Peleton chasing the leaders in the Tour De France.  I did the first 50 miles in 2:21.  I kept a good pace for the 2nd half but was trashed.  Climbing was Browns canyon was a beast but fun.  It would have been better if my legs didn't start cramping while I was climbing.  This is my fastest Century.  I cant wait for my next one.

Ran at Deseption pass in WA.  My wife and I went out to WA to help with the Ragnar Northwest Passage relay.  We stopped and did some trail running.  It was great.  The first .4 climbed 300 fit up hill.  It was fun for me but laurie didn't do some well. So we tured around and went across the bridge.  Some fog rolled and we couldn't see any thing.  It was a bit funny running and my sences were off.  We ran on this trail on the other side of the bridge and across this to this island.  It was tons of fun.  When we started heading back the fog lifted and we could see a ton better.  I got some great pics. 

It is too hot to run out side but I did it any way.  I have been running off and on but mostly biking.  My dautgher Natalie rode her bike with me while I ran.  I felt like I was running fast but she was doing circles around me.   I ran the 4 miles at about a 7:30 pace.  I need to pick up the running.  My knee hurt a bit about the end of mile 1.  I was tired by the end.  Lungs felt great.
