TUESDAY SPEED
This week's speed workout will be at Mt. Falcon, UPPER LOT. Meet at
6:00pm.

Workout: We'll do a counter-clockwise loop up the Tower and Meadow
trails. Starting from the lower junction of the trails, we'll run hard
up (an easy climb) the Meadow Trail, go left on the Tower Trail, and
continue hard up (steep) to the observation tower. Jog easy down the
other side back to the Meadow trail. Then, repeat.

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 & BENEFIT
Run Location: O'Fallon Park. The main group will meet at 6:15pm; the
early group at 5:30pm.

Note: This is the first day of summer, and the longest day of the
year. Sunset is at 8:32pm, with civil twilight at 9:05pm. Summer
begins at 12:06pm.

Driving tips: O'Fallon is just 2 mi up the road from Lair, ~6.5mi up from
Morrison. To avoid the congestion on C470, between I70 and Morrison, sometimes
it's faster to stay on I70, past C470, to the next exit, #259, Red Rocks. Go
left and take the road 3 mi down to Morrsion. Then, turn right and head up the
canyon. There is no concert at Red Rocks on Thursday (www.redrocksonline.com),
so this way shouldn't have much traffic.

Run notes: This is a new starting location for DTR, although we'll be
running parts of the trails we run from Lair. Starting from O'Fallon
allows us to get to parts of the trails we don't have time to reach
from Lair. Since we haven't run from here as a group, the suggested
routes on the DTR site are a guess of how much time it will take. Be
prepared to adjust/shorten your route, especially if you are going to
the Alpine Rescue benefit.

Benefit: After the run, head up the hill to the Little Bear for a
benefit for the Alpine Rescue Team (ART). Todd Holmes, a DTR regular,
is one of the leaders of the all-volunteer ART. There will be food, a
live band, a silent auction and a raffle. Raffle prizes include a pair
of tickets on Frontier Airlines, and a new Yeti mtn. bike. The Little Bear is
~3mi up from O'Fallon.

Little Bear: 28075 Highway 74, Evergreen, 80439. (303) 674-9991.
