Morning class was Corey, Linda, Rachel and Phil and they all went after the Hot Gait.  Just before class Alex, Lance, Brenda, Danielle and I ran the stairs and Alex churned out the top time for us all at 19:11.  When we told Lisa in the afternoon she said she had to go back and beat him stamping her intentions on the affair by saying,"It's on."  The combination of finishing the stairs at 3:30 and starting Thermopylae at 4:45 or so is enough to make you question your sensibility. 

Jennifer Block is a local triathlete who did a couple Ironman races last year and is going to do Coeur de Alene next year.  She showed up today and almost plowed me under in Thermopylae.  We both said that we would not have gone as hard as we did if not for the other. I was a tiny bit better on the jumping dips and a few steps in front of her on the run.  That's all I had.
