TUESDAY SPEED
This week's speed workout will be at South Table. Meet at NREL lot at
6:00pm.

Workout: There will be a long warm-up, ~ 2 miles. Then, we'll do a
loop that is about 0.3-0.4 long, a short rise, a couple of short rocky
sections, but pretty good footing overall. If you are late, meet us at
"13" on the map.

If it's wet or there's lightning, we'll do an alternate workout on the
roads nearby. Still meet at NREL.

These workouts are for runners of all abilities. (The only exception
is for beginning runners or those coming back after a long lay-off.
You should build a good base, with lower effort, and gradually longer
runs, before you start doing speed work.) The group stays in a compact
area (e.g., short loop or out-and-back), so no one will get left
behind. We run for time, starting and finishing together. The route is
designed typically with the hard efforts on climbs and/or
non-technical terrain; descents and rocky terrain will be easy
efforts. The purpose is to combine track-like speed workouts with
power training for hills.

The speed workouts will take place every week, as long as there is
interest. Sometimes there will be a separate e-mail with the workout
info, Mon evening, or Tue during the day.

THURSDAY RUN & POTLUCK
Everyone is invited to the run, even if you can't stay for the
potluck. Everyone is invited to the potluck, even if you can't make
the run.

Run Location: Apex. MEET AT KRISTEN'S HOUSE, NOT AT THE TRAILHEAD.
Directions below. The main group will meet at 6:15pm; the early group
at 5:30pm.

Run notes: To get to Apex, take the bike path behind the school (which is across
the street). It takes you directly to the trailhead (about 0.6 mi). At Apex,
we'll run the clockwise route. There are trail signs at all key junctions. If
you are doing the Enchanted Forest trail, most of us find it easier to go up
that trail and back down the Apex trail. Look for a small bridge, at a sharp
left, about 0.3mi past the Sluicebox trail.

Potluck: Kristin will have some hamburgers, buns, mustard, ketchup,
etc. DTR will supply plastic/paper plates, napkins, and utensils. You
can bring something else to grill, hot or cold food (e.g., chili,
pasta salads), salads, side dishes, desserts, drinks (e.g., beer,
wine, sodas, juice), etc.

Feel free to drop off at their house, anything that needs to stay hot
or cold, before the run.

Can't or forget to bring something? That's OK. You are welcome to show
up anyway. There's usually plenty of extra food. This is a great way
for newer members to get to know the regulars, and vice-versa.

Potluck/meeting location: 461 Crawford St., Golden, 80401

Directions: Get thee to Heritage Rd. and Kimball Ave (directions to
there below). Go W on Kimball. Take the third right on Crawford St.,
after crossing the bike path. The house is ~200m past the elementary
school. There are small numbers above the garage and on the mailboxes.
Look for some reddish stones standing upright in their front yard, "a
mini stonehenge!"

From Denver: Take I70 to Colfax, or 6th ave. to the end of the
freeway, then left onto Colfax. Go west, under C470, towards Heritage
Square. Where the road curves left. Go right onto Heritage road.
Kimball is past the fire station, the second left, at a traffic light.
Turn left and follow the directions above.

From the south, via C470: Take C470 to the end, and merge onto hwy 6
west. Immediately get into the left lane. Turn left at the first
street, Heritage Rd., a traffic light. Go ~2/3 mi, under the
pedestrian bridge, to the light at Kimball. Turn right and follow the
directions above.

From Boulder: Take hwy 93 south to Golden. Continue on hwy 6, past
Lookout, to the next light, Heritage. Heritage is where the road
curves left. The Taj Mahal, aka the Jefferson County building, is on
the left. Turn right at the light and follow the directions above.

From Evergreen and the west: Take I70 to the Red Rocks exit, #259. Go
left and down the hill ~1¼ mi. Just past Heritage Square, where the
road curves right, go left onto Heritage Rd. and follow the directions
above.

Tentative schedule:
6/21: Lair `o the Bear (no picnic)
6/28: Hogback
7/5: Lookout/Chimney Gulch
