Worked out perfectly that I dropped MooPoint and TheMonster off to play with their friends, then got out for an hour's run along the river. From Art-Is-In bakery, around Bate Island and back. Funny running without a watch on!
I wanted to take it easy to be fresh for my tryout tomorrow, but I couldn't resist the opportunity to finally get out for a run!
TheMonster and I started biking east and made it to Petrie Island just after our 'turn around' time. TheMonster wanted to get out and walk on the way back which I calculated for, but I didn't calculate for her wanting to walk around for over a half hour! I coaxed her back into the Zigo and dropped the hammer to make it to the store before they closed. Made it with 5 minutes to spare! Whew!
I have finally had a chance to take a look at the splits for Saturday and found some interesting things:
Frankenjack's average speed for the paddle was just short of 12km/h, and that is INCLUDING portages. Smokin'!
FB was second overall early in the game for the second year in a row (and the end of the 1.4km run)
I managed to snag fastest TA for both transitions! If only I could race fast AND do fast TAs at the same time :)
Team Wilder Pooh was 28th off the paddle and climbed up the ranks to finish 5th overall. They were smokin' when then passed me on the run. Apparently this was their first race of this length.
