| Start of half Ironman training. Biked north of Milton. Had a cramped left calf but not a big deal. Left knee was sore which was the norm 2 years ago but it has not been a problem for over 2 years. Perhaps weakened it playing baseball Thursday and should wear a support. Overall bike felt good though I still have more quad strength than hamstrings and calves. Burn - 2060 kcal. |

Tuesday Jul 1 |
| Adventure Racing (Kayaking) 32:00 [2]5.4 km (5:56 / km) | |
| |
| Lazy cruise into Byng Inlet to conclude the trip. Lots of boat traffic in this major channel. Locals had a Canada Day boat flotilla to mark Britt's 140th anniversary.
Kayaking is quite different than canoeing. Seems faster as there are no portages but gear requirements are different as bags have to fit into boat compartments. Definitely something to try elsewhere in the future.
