OK I need a gut check here. Saturday I started my structured training for the adventure race season. I’ve been having a great time, running, riding and paddling. Sunday we had quite a crew at Cougar Mountain for a two hour trail run. It was a great way to catch up with a lot of friends.
I’ve had an easy time getting back into my training, but eating properly is another story. Today I did an easy paced 41 mile ride with Cyril. On my ride back from his house I just had to have ice cream. I rode to the QFC and bought a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Peanut Butter Cup. When I got home I ate the entire pint. Am I serious? I then went back out for 20 minutes of hills that I wanted to check off my training plan and felt awful. Ben & Jerry don’t know shit about endurance training, and they must go. Tomorrow I start over.
I'm an ultra distance athlete who incessantly seeks out backcountry adventure. I'm an UltraRunner by trade, but I'm a multisport athlete at heart. Ski mountaineering in the winter, trail running and cycling in the summer. After 10 years in Seattle I moved to Salt Lake City because the Wasatch Mtns are simply amazing. I'm from New Hampshire originally, where I learned to "Live Free or Die". In December of 2005 I decided my desk job at Microsoft was in fact death... so i quit. I've been gettin' after it in the backcountry full time ever since.In December of 2005 Matt left his job at Microsoft to pursue his dream and race full time.
