The chocolate bacon donut

Had some friends come into town this past week for an annual snowboard trip. The crew was small this year. Some are buying houses, some didn't have the time to come. But we still had a great time. Snowboarded at Solitude, Snowbird, Davenport hill, and Pow Mow. Saw two Sundance films. Ate some kick ass donuts. and all in all had a good damn time.

Solitude on Sunday: Not bad, but kind of crusty. Tried skiing on the crust- I'm not that good yet.
Snowbird on Tuesday: nice 5 inches while we were there, Spent some solid time traversing tiger tail off Gad2.
Totally worth it.
Thursday: Rented the guys split boards and climbed up davenport hill across the rode from Alta. Got surprised by warm weather and wet snow- high-tailed it out of there about 3/4 of the way up. then beers on the deck at Alta. Good times.
Friday: POW MOW!!!! Wow, why have I been skiing anywhere else. 46 bucks for a locals ticket, 15 bucks for a cat ride, 7 bucks for a bomb ass turkey burger at the powder keg. I wish I could transplant this place in the wasach front. I'd never go anywhere else. Love IT!.

I'm going to use a combination of cycling and running to test my VO2 max progression.
I plan, in the near future, after i'm huge to start doing VO2 max work with running and cycling.
It will go something like this:
Cycling: max effort 3-5 reps of 3-8 min max efforts. (Increasing reps and length)
Running: Max effort sprints 100m-1mile for repeats 3-10reps.
Rest for both will be 1/2 to the length of the effort.

I will use the following as my benchmarks:

Mile run for time: ________ not yet completed
12 min run for distance: 2950 m
3 min cycle for distance: 1.22 miles
8 min cycle for distance: _______ not yet completed
