I think this was the time that Bent gave us for a great trail run in the Glen Haffy, Palgrave area. Bent was instructed to take it easy so we cruised along at a relaxed pace. I got a major stitch in my side that I had experienced at Tremblant on the downhills. Man does that hurt, like a knife in the side.
I guess Weeanimal was an angel yesterday because I got another offer today to watch her again. This time I headed out on the mountain bike trails for another great trail run in the rain. I love this Salomon nanny perk. What a great week at Tremblant.
I spent the afternoon with Weeanimal watching 40 teams of 2 that were in Tremblant with Salomon run around in a city chase type event. They all had a blast and I also got to watch Cheesesteak eat two helpings of poutine and worms - ewwwwwww.
I took advantage of the kind offers of some Salomon employees to watch Weeanimal and headed up Tremblant once again. It was hot out and I chose a more direct, technical route on the way up and the "Grand Prix de Couleurs" on the way down, basically the most direct route from top to bottom. Great to get out again and the legs felt awesome.
Another incredibly hot trail run up and down Tremblant on different trails. Legs felt fantastic. Had the big pack on today and yesterday. Really happy with how I feel.
I took the trail up that Phatty took down yesterday and it was an even better trail to run up. I would guess that I ran about 65-70% of it and fast hiked the steeper portions. The run across the ridge at the top was awesome and then I came down the trail I went up yesterday. Technical descent. I took my ipod with me and played it out loud since yesterday I got spooked by the "you are in bear country" signs and I didn't see anyone out there. That and some loud coughing prevented any sightings.
I got back just as the nappers were getting up this time. Weeanimal and I went for another swim.
