Evan's Training Log: March 2012
http://evanmacfarlane.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 31, 2012. Rocky Mountain National Park. My parents visited Colorado this week, so we made a quick trip up to Rocky Mountain National Park for a pair of hikes. Friday we managed about 9 miles, taking in Cub Lake and a frozen Fern Falls. Today we took an 11 mile stroll to the top of the 10,000 foot Deer Ridge. Stacey and I will definitely be returning once the weather improves to summit Longs Peak. Photo dump:. The view of RMNP from the top of Deer Ridge. Estes Park from Deer Ridge. Angela ...

Evan's Training Log: July 2012
http://evanmacfarlane.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 22, 2012. Coming into the first aid station. Just 41 miles to go. Without expending much energy. During the descent I finally started taking in some calories, but fewer than 200 (this after over 2 hours of running/walking). The view near the second aid station. The course climbs from near the low-point in this photo. The sole quarter mile of pavement approaching the second aid station. Hurting as I jog into the third aid station. Approaching aid station three on the way back. While each smal...

Evan's Training Log: 2013 Races
http://evanmacfarlane.blogspot.com/2012/12/2013-races.html
Sunday, December 2, 2012. Or two, and maybe even a grand fando. If time permits, I might even pick up some running snowshoes and try my hand at the CO state championships. The race I am most interested in at the moment, however, is SkyRunner race in Vail. Oh, and if I can get into the Leadville 100 mountain bike, I'll do that too. The problem is the lottery odds don't look that great and I don't know if I'll be fit enough to qualify. Finally, here is a Strava summary of my mountain biking skills:.

Evan's Training Log: December 2012
http://evanmacfarlane.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 3, 2012. Two blog updates in two days! To the right I've now got (1) Strava activity, which is my current training log, and (2) Tweets, which are nonsense. That is all. Well, except this: I'm really pumped that there is now a MTB course within a short ride from my house. Hopefully the technical sections are difficult enough so that I can improve my skills. Now, I just need two hours of daylight after work. Sunday, December 2, 2012. Or two, and maybe even a grand fando. Silver Rush 50 MTB.

Evan's Training Log: Vegan?
http://evanmacfarlane.blogspot.com/2013/01/vegan.html
Sunday, January 13, 2013. After a few weeks of eating almost entirely plants (including beans and minimally processed grains), my energy level is fine and my weight is down to the lowest it's been since high school. So far, things have been a success. Here's a sampling of dinners:. Mexicali Tacos topped with kale and avocade. Homemade felafel over salad. Veggie-loaded, cheeseless "pizza". The road into the quaint town of Manitou Springs. Looking back 2/3 of the way up. March 12, 2013 at 10:41 AM. Life Is...

Evan's Training Log: December 2011
http://evanmacfarlane.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 21, 2011. 138 miles today, feeling like garbage. HR was high, speed was low, legs were tired, but my knee held out fine. Another long run tomorrow, but at a HR of just 145 bpm or so. How much for a 3,200 square foot Victorian home dating from 1910 in Detroit, you ask? Try $7,900. That's about how much my last tri-bike cost. Today's song, by M83:. Monday, December 19, 2011. Good News and Hopefully Minor Bad News. Tebowing on St. Mary's Glacier. The lake at the base of the glacier.

Evan's Training Log: May 2012
http://evanmacfarlane.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 31, 2012. First off, Stacey created a blog to serve as a scrap book for hikes, trips, and other things we do that I don't post. See that here: staceyandevanmacfarlane.blogspot.com. Today I actually made it up to Leadville to test ride part of the course. It went well, mainly because the first half of the course is not the least bit technical. See my ride here: http:/ connect.garmin.com/activity/184172143. A very steep climb starts the race:. Not much to look at:. All the way down:. Life Is ...

Evan's Training Log: Silver Rush 2 - MTB
http://evanmacfarlane.blogspot.com/2013/07/silver-rush-2-mtb.html
Thursday, July 18, 2013. Silver Rush 2 - MTB. My plan going into the race was to ride the first 25 miles conservatively so I'd have plenty in the tank for the final climb, a wicked uphill that starts below Printerboy and continues onward for another three miles up to 12,000 feet. Last year I felt like I gave away a lot of time on this climb and wanted to make sure that didn't happen again this year. Conor and I dressed warmly before the start. Tossing a bottle to Stacey below Printerboy. I was up and run...

Evan's Training Log: October 2013
http://evanmacfarlane.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Two Race Reports in One. This photo is from the UROC, which I didn't finish. I took this shot on what I believe in the 10 Mile Range. Breckenridge is to the left and Copper Mountain is on the opposite side of the ridge. The trail I'm heading toward is vaguely visible in the center region of the photo. So this is a somewhat contradictory post. To begin with, a quick recap of the Silver Rush 50 run way back in July:. Silver Rush 50 (aka, Day 2 of the Silver King). Frisco embraced ...
