Change of plans. With fair weather this Sunday, I met Bill for the 4th time in 5 weeks for one last climb up Raccoon Mtn for the year. We did it a bit quicker than last time.
Bike climb Raccoon Mtn - 37:30
12.75 miles
Avg HR - 135
Max HR - 177
HR over 170 - 5:33
HR 153-170 - 26:35
I stayed the night and really enjoyed my time there. It was quite cool at night, low 40ºs but I was fine with the full canvas up, propane fireplace, and electric blanket. Boat ran great, it was only the 5th time I had it out this yr. Knowing it would be the last time for the year, I almost stayed a second night, but I pried my self away from the river solitude and came home Monday evening, expecting to be on the track Tues afternoon. Saw one giant bald eagle toward the end of my stay fly low directly above the boat.
Massive change in weather coming. After Thanksgiving, winter weather hits with a vengeance. Must winterize the boat on Friday as the low will hit 20º that night. Highs in the 30ºs to low 40ºs, lows in the teens to low 20ºs for the following week. Will make training more difficult.
Here's some photos, one more for '24...
