All treking. Hiked some very wet sections where the grass was floating...really weird. Then a big bush-whack up the mountain to the summit to grab the final CP (unmanned). Got onto the summit (forested) in a different spot than expected, so it took us a bit to find the CP, which we eventually did. After that it was an ugly bash back down to some roads, and a 5 km run into the finish. Congrats to Wild Rose on a fine race.

Full Moon in June with Jim, Kurt and Lucy. Great first day. Battled for the lead with Revy and his team. Great weather the first day. Midnight start in the inflatables...not too bad actually. Had a flat water paddle on the lake near Nordegg. Usual r-wrist pain during the paddle. Followed the paddle with a night-ride through double and single track trails. Jim nav'd it well but the trail was a mud bowl near the end so lots of hike-a-bike. Some fun tech. sections in there. Jumped back in the boats for a 30 km paddle down the N-Saskatchewan river. Good flow in the river, so it was a quick and fun paddle. Began the first big trek after the paddle and ran 20 km or so along an old railway grade. Passed Wild Rose for the first time here and bashed our way to the summit. Had a tough decent on the back and took a bit longer to get to the rope section for the rap. Wild Rose passed us here. After this trek it was back on the bikes to a bike - drop and our final trek.

Mid-Week Mayhem Criterium. Didn't feel strong tonight. Went for the first Prime but didn't have the legs, was 3rd after a pathetic effort. Didn't contest for the second Prime. The lap count was mixed up so I went hard on the second last lap, and was gassed for the final lap. Finished somewhere in the top 10, but I was no threat. Will rest during the remainder of the week so that I'm primed for the Full Moon.

Good 30 minute stretching session. Did the foam roller on the legs. Not feeling the brutal pain along IT bands anymore which is nice.
