Last fondo clinic! I forgot to start my watch on the way home, so not sure the exact time. Very chill clinic day, we just biked to a brewery and had a drink. Osar and I also stopped at Crackle Creme on the way home, which was delicious as always. I saw the physio this afternoon about my shin pain from my long ride. She thought I was probably pulling up with my toe too much and also collapsing my lower back a bit. Need to pay attention to that for the ride and I hope it doesn't get too bad on Saturday.

Feeling a little nervous about the Fondo, but I think we've done the best we could with training and we'll see how it goes! Fortunately, it doesn't look like it'll rain (fingers crossed). I feel like I've been fighting off the beginnings of a cold all week, but it hasn't gotten any worse, so hopefully it stays that way.

Had a massage today because of knee and front shin of my right left have not been feeling great after our big 100km ride. Worked on glutes, calves, front shin, quads, hamstrings, and lower back. There were definitely some tight bits!

Taper ride! Nice chill catch up ride with Kate H! Fortunately she was game to make a detour to try out La Glace. The ice cream was pretty good! Would eat again.

Hike up to Deeks Lake with Anna, Thom, and Oscar! I could tell I haven't done much hiking this summer, especially on the downhill. I don't have many memories of this trail from the time Kate and I did the Howe Sound Crest Trail, but it's pretty steep. There is a new trail/detour at the beginning because of active mining, so there was significantly less time spent on logging roads. The lake was misty, which was pretty. Nice to get out :)

Ouch.
