 | Mountain Biking 1:52:00 [3] | |

| On the road over to Phatty's work so we could get on the road to Warsaw for Storm the Trent. The ride was actually good - nice weather and only a couple of jerks that came too close for comfort.

| Phatty and I headed out to place the controls at the north end of the Trek Elite course for Storm the Trent. We thought it would just be a little stroll in the woods and didn't bring a compass, water, or food. I was soooooo thirsty I thought I was going to die. What a couple of idiots. Anyway we managed to get all of the controls in place along with getting very wet and only a couple of encounters with drunk locals. Luckily we were out there at night and so could place the controls without the fear of some of these people taking them down. |

| Trail Running 1:00:00 [3] | |

| Felt like sh#$! Legs were okay but I had a headache (which I rarely get) and my stomach hurt....grumpy run. Good thing I was by myself. I did have a nice blue jay leading me along for most of the way though so I wasn't entirely on my own. |

| Trail Running 1:03:00 [3] | |
| |
| The HVT with Bash but we went out on CSI trail for something different. Rocky told us that it was nice and clear so we risked it even though we got turned around on that trail before.....she was right it was great and a nice change from the HVT.
We bumped into Slowrunner who had fire in her eyes from spotting a whole bunch of garbage that a big highschool group had just dropped. She was chasing them down and let me tell you I wouldn't have wanted her to catch me.....I think she described the group of younsters as "a bunch of fat slobs that came up from the city and were leaving garbage on her trail" (at least she is honest!)....Bash and I saw the garbage on our way back so I think I will take a pack with me on tomorrow night's run.
And for anyone who is interested in seeing how the Bobkittens stay warm while waiting an for a couple of hours before teams arrived at their very windy and cold checkpoint here you are......oh this is also part of our cross-training...think "FLASHDANCE"

Monday May 5 |
| Road Riding 55:00 [3] | |
| |
| To and from my Monday night yoga sessions and I encountered the same black dog that Crash encountered last week on Humber Station. I was just riding along minding my own business when I started to hear little scratching sounds beside me. I looked over to see a dog booking it beside me and I tried to drop the hammer to lose it but sadly he passed me......I guess he wasn't really looking to get a chunk out of my leg and he wasn't barking. Maybe he just likes a good race...but I do know that he jumped at Crash's leg. I am blaming my somewhat tired legs from the weekend for not being able to outrun the dog on my road bike (how embarrassing). |
| Yoga 1:30:00 [2] | |

| Great yoga session at Evergreen yoga. She has a new studio on top of a newly built garage out in the country and it is spectacular. The finishing touches still have to be put on it but the space is great. We did yoga to the peepers and with the windows open it is such a great place to do yoga in. I was having a hard time with some of the warrior poses since my legs were so tight from the weekend but I have a feeling I will see a lot of improvement over the next 8 weeks. |

| Trekking 2:00:00 [1] | |
| |
| Slice and I patrolled the trekking section of the highschool race and became very familiar with the Deerhurst trails (too late). I am logging it because we were tired at the end and got busted just sitting on a log in the bush because Lawrence could see us from the finish line. It was our matching red Salomon jackets that gave us away.
Fun day watching the kiddies.
