Mountain Biking 2:30:00 [3]
Out at Albion Hills by myself. Super fun to be on single track but the trails are really dry. It started to rain just as I was leaving to ride home but I don't think it was enough to soften the trails.....
Yoga 30:00 [1]
Post ride.

Trail Running 1:45:00 [3]
On the HVT - hot and humid - ugghggh. No Cougar sightings, except for me that is! That was for Phatty! Legs feel a little better except for some intense knee pain I had on my left leg, Luckily I know what it is and I can get Nigel to dig into my Biceps Femoris tomorrow and then adjust my proximal tib-fib joint and I should be fine....

Trail Running 42:00 [3]
With Bash on the HVT. The legs were feeling quite stiff after the weekend and I foolishly wore new inserts in my shoes to run and was developing a blister.....so we walked the end of the trail since we have our upcoming Rogaine in a week and a half. I think I will need healthy feet for that one.

Adventure Racing 5:59:00 [4]
The Grand River was EXTREMELY low in the water department so the next few hours consisted of us dragging our boat over rocks and getting in and out of our boat a million times. At every bridge I considered getting out and portaging but just as we thought about that the river seemed to get a little deeper - but not for long! We saw some wildlife - a huge snapping turtle, a little beaver, and some fish. By the end of this section I was ready to get on to another discipline. Phatty was there to greet us along with Linda in the middle of the night as he just got there from a wedding!
Once again we were back on our feet for a "RIVER SCRAMBLE" - WHAT? we just did that but this time we didn't have to take the canoe. So we ran for a couple of kms to the river again and Dog Runner led us the whole way down the river to the final TA. We knew we had a pretty comfortable lead at this point but this didn't slow us down and we picked up the pace to the finish line. So in the end we finished in 15 hours and 59 minutes! and first overall by over 3 1/2 hours. Not bad for a few chicks!
I must also add that we had a superbly organized and energetic support crew in Dog Runner's mom, Linda. Every time we got into transition all of our bladders were filled with our new packs full of food for the next section and any clothes we might need draped on our chairs - she is a real pro. I think she even started yelling at us to get going when she felt we were taking too long......an integral part of our success for sure!!!
