Armed only with co-ordinates (no instructions), Ziggy & I made a last-minute decision to try caching. I had a vague, incorrect memory that cache was within 100m of WP1. After wandering round for some time, I called on technical assistance from bigbluemarble (3000+km away). I should've spotted first tag on my own. Getting instructions by txtmsg, I incorrectly thought we were doing something weird with the tag numbers. After an unnecessary fording of Watts Creek, I was losing patience. My canine partner was great about it all. Despite the fact I was wearing a parka and kamik, I rewarded Ziggy with a non-stop run all the way from final to start (last 2k in 15:40). Being away so much recently, he's missed out on his 2+h outings in the woods.

shoes: ASICS Gel-Trabuco 11 WR

I won't be trying another TT on Friday. That run was enough of an improvement and took enough out of me. IMHO, the splits were a perfect ladder.

Without the 11kph winds and with company of any runner, I could have run faster. The first lap was particularly slow (relatively) as I tested the pace I could maintain with heel-toe strides. I soon moved to the more ugly hunched-over but quicker posture.

Flip side: I always like to dwell on the negative. For a guy who has already raced the Boston Marathon, my present meniscus-less speed would now qualify me if I were over 70 years of age.

Running race 8:42 [5] 1.0 mi (8:42 / mi)
shoes: ASICS Gel-Trabuco 11 WR

I missed trying the 3k on Tuesday as my (only) shoes were wet from Ziggy play. Even so, I attempted the 3k in wet shoes from Ziggy play today. Despite the wind (gusts 33kph), I couldn't resist my first run in shorts and singlet.

1:03 2:10 2:13 2:08 1:06

Unable to sustain the new pace, I aborted the mission, hoping to save something for a later attempt. The failure may have been due to the wind or a tight left achilles or the fact that I can't go any faster.

It can't be good when the ten-year-old greets you with, "from far away you look like a woman."

I didn't have direct warm-up as I'd just been out with the dog for two hours. Wind was minimal (8kph) and there were no puddles to navigate.

Very good splits, if I do say so myself BUT can I better the time?!?

I'm delighted that I can still run, though Sianna says that's jogging NOT running. However, I don't miss the verbal abuse common to my run along the roads. I don't know where runners who spend all their time off trails and off the track find the patience.

Trail footing is reminiscent of the Gatineaus. Dog owners are back before morning so that's probably my last run.

Nepean

Ziggy & I said goodbye to winter.

The lactic acid burn is still there two days later. I've got a blister atop my right pointer toe. This may be from the race or from the many hours walking in wet feet after the race.
