 | Trail Running 3:00:00 [3] | |
| |
| Out on the HVT with the MIX team. The body felt good except for some cramping. We made our way south from near Bash and Bent's house to our place. The trail was really slippery from melted snow that had refrozen into a nice long sheet of ice. We all managed to go down a couple of times and I think Tiny had the only lasting damage with a bruise.....great way to start the day before heading into TO to see the Banff Film Festival films....amazing, inspiring, beautiful, and so creative. I am thinking maybe I should bring along some extra batteries for my camera to enter a film next year from this year's RTN Extreme race in Prince Rupert. Nothing like a few minutes of some sleep deprived teammates in the middle of the night in the middle of the Canadian wilderness..... |

| Riding indoor (Trainer) 1:14:00 [3] | |

| Foot is still really sore so I opted for the trainer and used the commercials to up the intensity. Why do I always end up having to ride the trainer because of my feet when the weather outside is so nice - aaghghhgh. |
| Stretching 15:00 [0] | |
| |
| Of course my IT band is starting to bug me again because I don't stretch enough. This felt really good though... |

| Continuing to use my feet as an excuse - will have to get on the bike tomorrow since it is non-weightbearing and shouldn't hurt my feet. |

| Feet are killing me from the weekend. I think I gave myself tendonitis on the tops of my feet from the snowshoes. Hard to walk. |

| We were a little more conservative today but knew we had to move well to get all of the controls, especially on sore feet. So an hour and a half after everyone else left Phatty and I headed out. Today felt better surprisingly (except the feet) and we were able to run a lot of the course. We also got to see Tiny and Fast Eddie and Bash and Bent on the course.
With about 10 minutes to spare we were headed toward the finish only to see Bash and Bent flying out on their skate skis to get a couple of more controls. They were determined to use them since they brought them all the way down there. With about 2 minutes to go they were back! So in the end Phatty and I just got enough points to claim 1st in the co-ed categorty while Bash and Bent were right behind us for second. Good Canadian showing. Tiny and Fast Eddie were the victors from our crew by one hundred points and were 4th in the all-male category (third place was captured by a man who wore camoflage spandex with a bright orange hunting jacket - scary stuff).
All in all a great event, only $35 for the whole thing, and a fun road trip down in the "bullfrog" van.
